6. READING AND WRITING POETRY
• For most of us, we love poetry because it is a unique kind of language that
expresses our ideas, feelings and emotions in a meaningful way; not only using
words but also sounds, gestures, signs and symbols.
• Through poetry, we can relate our human experiences and observations about
life and the universe around us. While a 4 song has lyrics and is musically
composed to move us emotionally, a poem is written in verses that attempt to
enhance our understanding of the world we live.
