Is poetry a natural expression of strong feelings?

Sometimes, but the result of poetry, if you don't use skills, is bad poetry. As Oscar Wilde once said, "All bad poems are sincere." I cringe when I think of some poems I wrote in high school under the influence of a hopeless fascination with a cheerleader, and now I am grateful for losing them. I cringe because I have seen what real poetry is and what it has done.

Don't get me wrong: poetry can be the deepest carrier of human emotions. But every great poet knows the tools of this industry. You can read Tennyson or Auden's poems. If you don't have ears to listen, you may not notice that you are not only reading a set of words that create complex meanings, but also, for example, reading an exercise of writing English poems in Escopeas. You may not think you have missed anything: but aesclepiads, the formal challenge, is to get the authors involved and let them find specific content and expression. Whether you know it or not, those ace pilots are influencing you. You may have read walt whitman's "Free Poems" and think that his "Free Poems" are rambling-until you understand his rhythm and realize why this makes him essentially different from those who think that prose that breaks at will is actually a poetry connoisseur.

The best time of poetry is to skillfully and highly personalize the use of literary techniques to re-describe reality: to change a person's thoughts and experiences, or some strange events or moments, until the speaker can bear its specific meaning, function and influence regardless of life, time and expression-to a certain extent, most of us feel or see some early days in our lives. However, we can't keep them or express them in a simplified way, which makes us see a new, strange and enjoyable world.

There may be some generality in your initial feeling:

You hurt me.

Jesus Christ.

I feel terrible.

Also sad ...

But this is not a poem. This is a limerick. Almost all real poems give us a slap in the face for their strangeness and focus on things. There is no doubt about it.

Her singing transcends the genius of the sea. We are in a poem now. April is the cruelest month. We are in a poem now. Because I will come to the sacred room,/where I will sing with your eternal saints,/I will be your music … we are in a poem.

If you want to hit your heart or brain with a direct feeling, you still need to find a way to say what you need to say, so that I can feel it with you, not only knowing what it is, but also feeling it in some stupid and animal way. For example, if you want to express sadness, you need to make the sadness you feel become the sadness that others can find.
