What Means A Poem

In the world of literate expression there is always the literal.

Poetry: literary work in which special intensity is given to the expression of feelings and ideas by the use of distinctive style and rhythm

Literature: written works, especially those considered of superior or lasting artistic merit.

Each part of these definitions could be analyzed with additional definitions of the words within and still remain unsure of the literal and precise meaning.

To take from these definitions, it could be argued, poetry is a form of expression that has potential to resonate through the ages to its audience.

Classic masterpieces of words yet unknown. Pieces of memory, yet to be more than defined as the sum of rhythm and feeling, more that precisely placed syllable and line.
