Poetry can be said to be a careful, inventive, or creative consideration of words written in order to convey some thought as a literary arrangement. Usually, but not always, the words written are designed to evoke emotion. Poetry can manifest itself as a two-word phrase, spoken word, or a one-thousand-page book.
The word poetry comes from ancient Greece. Poieo translated means “I create”. Poetry, when it is well written, goes much deeper than the words on a page. The ability to use written words to create images and feelings in the audience mark the abilities of a great poet. Much like sculptors have stone and painters have a canvas, a poet’s medium for expressive art is writing. Poetry is an art using language, but it is also a state of mind.
