What is Poetry?
Poetry is a type of writing that uses special words and sounds to create feelings and emotions. It is like music, but with words instead of notes.
Examples of Poetry

- Haiku Poems: "A red bird sings sweet, In the tall, green willow tree, Nature's melody."
- Acrostic Poems: F lowers blooming in the sun, R aindrops falling one by one, I nsects buzzing all around, E very creature has its sound, N ature's beauty can be found.
