The spontaneous overflow of
powerful feelings.
-Wordsworth

If I read a book and it makes my

body so cold no fire can warm
me, I know that it is poetry.
-Emily Dickinson
 POETRY

-It embodies the most imaginative

expression of writing.
-It is the crystallization in language of
beauty and musicality of imaginative
thought and of the poet’s powerful
emotional reaction to the sensory
impressions which life has engraved
upon his mind
-It educates our emotions and feelings

-It allows us to learn and to articulate

what we feel

-It then clarifies these feelings and

eventually, this leads to an
understanding of what the poem means.
