    About this ebook

    Poetry is the art of written expression that can only be enjoyed by those who read it and write it. No other art form can quite fully move you as when you read, write, or experience a poem. Poetry gives definition and creative flavor to the human experience. All humans throughout the past and up to this very day have found many ways to express their emotions and feelings. Poetry is one manifested, expressed way to do so.
