What is poetry?

Poetry is (according to google) literary work in which special intensity is given to the expression of feelings and ideas by the use of distinctive style and rhythm. Poetry is also a way to express yourself through words. Let's say you weren't good at expressing your feelings, but once you get a pen and paper..BAM! You easily write down all your feelings in a poem. Poetry can come in many different ways, and it doesn't always have to rhyme!
