| A question for all. Why do you like poetry? What about it compels you to write it? |

| Well I mean for me It started when I was younger, I used to read alot and Alice and Wonderland was one of those books, the way its written as well as Through the Looking Glass are both very heavy on a poetic style. I also got a tome of Poe's works when I was 12 so that really pushed me into it. I won't say I'm one of those people who find poetry in everything (I hate poems like that one in casual discussion for example) but I do enjoy seeing how people can work with verse and rhyme. I write it so see jf I can have the same effect my favourite poems give me. |

Astros said: A question for all. Why do you like poetry? What about it compels you to write it? I like the succinctness. You can write a whole book in one stanza. Or at least, that was the case with the poets that I've grown up reading. Inspired by this club, I think I too will start writing English poetry. Though, I don't like how there's a 'structure' to it. But that's probably because of I not being a native speaker. |

| Hmm, I see. I figured it would be either of those two. I guess if I had to choose anything I liked about poetry over other forms of literature it would be symbolism. A stanza or phrase can mean a lot more than face value. Both in intended meaning and interpretation. Also poetry has been seen to reflect the issues and emotions of specific people and times better than some other forms of literature. |

| Why I love Literature as a medium whatever shape or form it takes is simply the beauty of the language itself. There is something elegant and musical about Poetry and poetic prose. It creates an indescribable feeling in me one I couldn't really put into words accurately but if I might try; it's like an inspiring awe which makes me want to create something |
