Welcome back to another fantastic Blog Session about a literary topic that many of our Followers are interested in ~ either because they love writing poetry or because they love reading poetry.

POETRY is for those who understand literary works of art that have a special intensity that is given to the expression of feelings and ideas by the use of distinctive style and rhythm.  Poems collective or as a genre of literature are for those who love writing what is dwelling deep within them calling out for expression.
