Poetry

Definition: a collection of poems; poems in general


Example: I buried my father in my heart.Now he grows in me, my strange son,My little root who won’t drink milk,Little pale foot sunk in unheard-of night,Little clock spring newly wet In the fire,little grape, parent to the future Wine,a son the fruit of his own son,Little father I ransom with my life.

you can feel the emotions and feelings, too.

It is among the oldest of living things. 
So old it is that no man knows how and 
why the first poems came.”
