Poetry is a type of art that involves the use of written words to tell a story, and often times with rhyming words.
Poems are generally meant to have meaning, so as to generate an emotional response in the listener. The type of emotion depends on what the poem is about.
Poetry is not always clear on its' meanings and often recited poems are more like riddles than clear stories, leaving the person reading or listening to the poem to really focus on its' meaning, and to come up with their own interpretation.
