Poems and more Poems

Welcome. This is where I write whatever is floating around in my head. There's no formal structure, there is no formal schooling or theme to this poetry. It's my gumbo :) It is what it is. I read them later and it's like having a small window into a part of my brain that I'm not familiar with.
Much love. Many smiles.

What is Poetry?

Poetry (from the Greek "ποίησις", poiesis, a "making" or "creating") is a form of art in which language is used for its aesthetic and evocative qualities in addition to, or in lieu of, its ostensible meaning. Poetry may be written independently, as discrete poems, or may occur in conjunction with other arts, as in poetic drama, hymns or lyrics.

Poetry, and discussions of it, have a long history. Early attempts to define poetry, such as Aristotle's Poetics, focused on the uses of speech in rhetoric, drama, song and comedy.[1] Later attempts concentrated on features such as repetition and rhyme, and emphasised the aesthetics which distinguish poetry from prose.[2] From the mid-20th century, poetry has sometimes been more loosely defined as a fundamental creative act using language.
