Poetry is a form of literature art, in which language, is used for its evocative qualities, in addition to its apparent meaning.
Poetry may be written independently, as discrete poems, or may occur in conjunction with other arts such as: poetic drama, prose poetry, hymns, or lyrics.Poetry, and discussions of it, have a long history. Early attempts to define poetry, such as, Aristotle's Poetics, focused on the uses of speech in rhetoric, drama, song, and comedy.
Later attempts concentrated on features such as repetition, verse form and rhyme, and emphasized the aesthetics which distinguish poetry from prose. From the mid-20th century, poetry has sometimes been more loosely defined as a fundamental creative act using language.
Many elements are added in poetry, such as : Irony, symbolism, ambiguity, and others, to open to multiple interpretations.
Poems, often uses particular forms and conventions to suggest alternative meanings in the words, or to evoke emotional or sensual responses
Similes, Metaphors, Personifications, are all added inside to create a sense of resonance, between otherwise disparate images.
These images, are a layering of meanings, forming connections, which are not perceived.
In rhymes or rhythms, kindred forms of resonance may also exist.
