What Does Poetry Do

Poetry has a different feel compare to other forms of writings. In poems, writers tend to use more similes, metaphors, and other figure of speeches. Poems and stories sometimes could have similar things such as telling a story; sometime poems could tell stories too. Poems could do the same thing as other writings could do, which is being able to form stories or songs. In fact, a lot of songs now are pretty much poems. Songs like rap has some rhymes in it. Another different between poetry and writings is that poetry have short lines which form stanzas. In an essay, paragraphs are constructed by a group of sentences. Also, in poems, there is no correct grammar. In order to make the poem more artistic, writers sometimes don't follow the correct grammar rules. Writings are sometimes more clear and easy to understand then poetry. In essays, writers use clear and specific adjectives and description to make the thing the writer is describing as clear as possible. In poems, writers use similes and metaphors, which are sometimes harder to understand. Readers might need to focus more on the poem then reading an essay or other stories.
