Definition of a Poem- January 9th, 2009

My definition of a poem is a piece of writing someone uses to express their feelings, or past experiences. There are so many different emotions that people feel and of they are writers or like to write, they will discuss the things they feel. Such as happiness, sadness, anger, love, hate, and physically hurting. They can also write little instances in their life they have experienced. It can be a big or little event that has taken place. For example we read a poem during class where a mother wrote a poem about her son growing up. This is just one example of the many things a poem can be about.
