When I hear the word poetry, I think of romance. I love it when I hear a guy recite a poem to a girl. I think poetry is very beautiful and meaningful. I also think of death, unhappiness, lost, and pain. Poetry can be beautiful but it can also be painful and depressing, expressing extreme sorrow. Poetry can put you on cloud nine or it can make you down in the dumps. Poetry that has a rhyme scheme to it seems to flow better and I tend to like to read it more than ones that don’t.
