just like a painter, or pianist, its the strange beauty that lives deep in us, that attempts to crawl out, through many mediums,

paint and singing, poetry is simply

the translation of human beauty,human nature.

The weight of the words made the pictures vanish.



Be the hero in your own myth



That was out standing



What defines poetry?

That would be to ask what defines science.

Science defines science

Just as poetry

defines poetry.



This was poetic,

That was art

You tried to hide

With pictures.

It is a sequence of unsubstantiated opinions posted over some silly pictures and a nice tuneful piece of music.



It is unchallenging.



Defining poetry is relatively easy: but you can't teach a kangaroo how to crochet.



Poetry is never unchallenging.

"Oh, and who says you cannot teach kangaroo how to crochet? Why do you confine you expectations like that? Doesn't it feel like the walls are closing in?"



I say you cannot teach a kangaroo how to crochet. If you believe you can prove me wrong, that is easily done.



There are a handful of competent poets on this site who regularly tell the truth about poetry (though we more often refrain from comment entirely).



There is also a bunch of losers who always clump together because they think they look more impressive as a herd.



It's up to you who you choose to stand with (and not just on this forum).

In my honest opinion poetry is not really defined, at least not in my mind xD. That is what art is all about, just emotions and expression. Poetry generally is really just defined by those who read it and decide if its good or bad. I think the slideshow is lovely. ^.^
