Poetry art?

gobbler

I was approached today to explain how poetry is an art? Any suggestions on how to answer ?

Viv

Dictionary definition of art - the creation of works of beauty or special significance.
And poetry is painting images onto the page through words, isn't it?

gobbler

Thanks Viv.Very to the point .I like this part "And poetry is painting images onto the page through words, isn't it? " may i use that ?

Hello Gobbler, I don't believe we've met. Good to meet you! :-)

Is it possible to relocate this thread to the Poetry category? Interesting though it may be, I don't really think Website Problems is the right home for it...

gobbler

True enough.Although i am unfamiliar on how to move it.

gobbler

Glad to meet you kangaroo.

Viv

Yes, gobbler, you can quote me if you like.

We can't move things, Jon or Webbo have to do it, and it really isn't worth the hassle.

gobbler

Thanks Viv :))

gobbler

Ty. Carol. I will just let it be .:))

You could re-start this topic as a new discussion in the Poetry category, though. It will be warmly welcomed!
