Some people believe that poetry is not art just because it is a form of writing. As I stated though in my previous post I believe that art is anything and everything. That includes writing. Writing is a way to express one's feelings and emotions and art is whatever expresses emotion. Poetry is amazing, it almost expresses better than paintings do. Poetry is honestly my favorite way to express myself their are just so many feelings and emotions that can be shown and displayed by poetry. A great poet I like is Paul Laurence Dunbar. This is a little bit of his work called "Life."
A crust of bread and a corner to sleep in,
A minute to smile and an hour to weep in,
A pint of joy to a peck of trouble,
And never a laugh but the moans come double;
And that is life!
A crust and a corner that love makes precious,
With a smile to warm and the tears to refresh us;
And joy seems sweeter when cares come after,
And a moan is the finest of foils for laughter;
And that is life!
