Have you ever thought about what poetry is for? Here you can see how poets react when this question is put to them.  -->  What is poetry for?

"Poetry is an act of peace." – Pablo Neruda

"Poetry is ordinary language raised to the Nth power. Poetry is boned with ideas, nerved and blooded with emotions, all held together by the delicate, tough skin of words."
– Paul Engle

"Poetry is eternal graffiti written in the heart of everyone." – Lawrence Ferlinghetti
