Poetry



A visual topography of poetry by Ebon Heath.



Definition: A distinct and creative way to express one's self in a rhythmic body of literature. It can either be written or spoken; either way will inform the reader of the poet's feelings or thoughts.

Example: This is one of the most famous haikus, a type of poetry. It is by Basho.

"old pond . . .

a frog leaps in

water’s sound"

Significance: I think poems are important because they have deeper meaning than any type of book. You can express your emotions in a creative way in many different forms.
