Poetry is like many different things according to students in a junior high school English class. Some see it as breathing, a green leaf, a river, a bird, an intelligent mind, the galaxy, a drop of sweat, a lion, a delicate flower, a sea shell, stars, a diary, clouds, an open window, a boat, a book, wings, dreaming, words that are alive, a painting that speaks, a ticket, an opportunity to escape reality, the wind, and food. Overall, poetry takes many forms but profoundly impacts those who engage with it.

I can’t describe what poetry is like but what I know is that poetry is not like you
and me, an ordinary human. It is just the opposite.

what magic processes are taking place inside it.

Poetry is like an intelligent mind… it has so much
to say but sometimes is not able to express
what it wants, but when it does… it is just inspiring.

and they all together make something wonderful, with the same way
all the words on a poem make something wonderful too!!!
