poetry (noun)

Poetry is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language, such as sound symbolism and meter, to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, prosaic ostensible meaning. It often expresses intense emotions, ideas, or experiences through carefully chosen words and structures.

💡 Memory Tip

Think of a 'POET' who is 'TRY-ing' to write. POET + TRY = POETRY. It is the result of a poet's effort.
