What is Poetry?
Poetry is a river, poem after poem moves along in the exciting crests and falls of the the river waves. None is timeless; each arrives in an historical context, almost everything, in the end, passes.
-Mary Oliver (A Poetry Handbook)
What is Poetry? My Definition!
I think poetry is a way for people to show there feelings and let others feel them too
It also a way to make others happy
-Me
Acrostic
The word acrostic is formed from the Greek word acros (outermost) and stichos (line of poetry). The acrostic is a poem where the first letter of each line forms a word when you read them looking downward.

Haiku
COMPOSING A TRADITIONAL JAPANESE HAIKU POEM The 300-year old Haiku Poem has its own distinct
discipline:- Each complete poem has only three lines, totalling 17 syllables.
- the first line must be five syllables- the second line must be seven syllables- the third line must be five syllables
When these rigid conditions are met, the result can be a very satisfying word picture .
Birds take wing on high, gliding over angry wavesback to their safe nests.
