What's With Poetry?, Ch 6: Why do we create poetry?

SUBJECTS:  English

There are many reasons why you might write poetry.

Maybe it's because you saw something beautiful and you want to share that feeling with others.

Or maybe something funny happened to you on your way to school and you want to remember it.

You don't have to be a creative genius to write poetry and you don't have to have the most amazing story to tell, so give poetry a chance!
