What Poetry Means to Me

I was somewhat inspired by apreformance I saw lately and I just wanted to see if I could explain what poetry means to me even though the rhyming is bad and such.. here it is.

I think poetry is having the ability
To write with agility
No matter how insanely
It is seen personally
Poetry is having the sense of dependability
With or without electricity
With or without the technology
You will not feel guilty
If your ideal picture mentally
Disturbs others dignity
It questions all logically
Poetry should be legally
Required in today’s society
So all can learn what nobility
You can have, well, theoretically,
You can learn what happily
Ever after might mean finally.

Nice job but the rhyming made it kinda bad,No hard feelings and other than that great.

I loved it! It was... Fun, I guess is how I would describe it, :P The rhyming, sure, wasn't perfect but if it was, I don't think this peice would be the same.

The rhyming made the poem stretch a little, but it was okay besides that.

Great piece of explanation, you got!

'even though the rhyming is bad and such..'
Actually I liked the rhyming and especially that every line ended with 'Y'

And the last part: 'You can learn what happily
Ever after might mean finally.' My eyes rolled somehow over and over again over those words... Niiice ending.!
