What Is Poetry

Poetry is something beyond rhythm and rhymes.
It is said, that what an elder sees while sitting down, a child can never see it even if standing up. Now I'd like to bring poetry into this. Imagine a beautiful rainbow picture, with all six colors. Now bring those who never sit to imagine what they'll be like in years to come, and those who do wonder, whether they'll achieve the UN-achievable, those who sit to wonder whether they'll live to see there great-great-grandchildren, those who sit to wonder whether they'll achieve greatness, will most likely see the incredibility behind these colors, this natural beauty filled with hidden stories, stories that only those who understand poetry can see, and be able to recognize.
Everybody has a way of expressing poetry. It is this little thing, that those who don't know poetry would see and say, "this is pathetic" but those who've seen and lived poetry, would see and say, "Magnificent". Something that can not be explained by just any man. Something that I'd look at and say, this is immortal, but those who don't know poetry, wouldn't see it and not even wonder what it is, why it's there. People who never sit to wonder, people who never imagine, people who never live an imaginary moment will less likely see the true magnificence of poetry. It is hidden and only those who see it and begin to wonder stories behind it, will discover it. It is only open to those who know it and understand it.
