I cannot understand most poetry, but every body writes it?

Question

is every body an edgar allen poe?

Answer 1

most people write poetry for themselves, well usually.

it's a way to express how one feels in a creative way and it also helps put things in perspective for the writer.

and everybody does not write it, some people in fact have a lot of trouble with it.

and you aren't really suppose to understand it, in my opinion, it's just suppose to make you think. all poetry can relate to you in some way, though that may not have been the author's point, it is poetry's. because we all have different memories and experiences and situations so one poem could never be interpreted the same way by multiple people because it has a different meaning to each, subtle as it may be.

Answer 2

no, people want to do anything they see some one do, dont you?/?,.<>(  ,  )

Answer 3

i can't understand poetry either. and that's after 4 years of honors english and taking the ap test. and unfortunately i don't think everybody can write it. some people are blessed with the ability and most people aren't

Answer 4

i like reading poetry but i cant write it to save my life

Answer 5
