Hi! :D
I'm doing an assignment on poetry for school. But instead of focusing to much on different poets and different styles of poetry I want to focus on the affects on the readers. I know there's a lot of poets out there and a lot of poet readers. So I'd like to ask you all, what makes poetry so special? Why do you like to write/read it? And of course, is lyrics poetry? (Because I've always seen MCRs lyrics as long poems.)
XOXO
p.s Also, if you're interested, you could read mine. I'd like your comments on if they can bee seen like poetry, or if their're more lyric.

I'm Just gonna nail myself against the wall and die right here
'cause I don't deserve to die els were
Don't watch me as I go away
Don't greet me in the light
The dark path is my only way
All I deserve is the memory of your heartbeat

Tie me up real tight
let my blood run down to my head
I'll love you 'till my eyes turn red
You can push it harder into my skull bit I still wont believe it
