Introduction to the Section of Poetry
Poetry is a form of literature that uses carefully chosen words, rhythm, imagery, and sound to express ideas, emotions, and experiences. Poets often use literary devices such as metaphor, simile, rhyme, and symbolism to convey deeper meanings and create vivid impressions in the reader’s mind.
