What is Poetry? by Shmoop

To some, poetry is talking nonsense. It makes no sense and uses words only old guys in the 1800's used. To others, it is a different way of thinking. It stirs emotions, thoughts, memories. Whichever one you are, watch this video because it will give you the rundown on what poetry is all about.

Honestly, I use this website for my homework but never knew this video until now lol

[danyonvial]

this is a pathetic excuse for an educational video, you got some sort of sesame street format and slapped some university language on it. you don't speak student, you speak preschooler. I had to watch this at least 3 times to find the information under the horrible standard of humour and it was hell.

no one can convince me free verse "poetry" is actual poetry, "just words on a page in whatever order..." So I guess that makes Yoda the best free-verse poet I know? 😆
