"Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings."~William Wordsworth

The above quote is something I would typically agree with in most cases, however I do believe Wordsworth was slightly off in his simple definition. Yes, poetry, as it is known today, is renowned for the freedom and means of expression it grants the author. However, I believe poetry (ex. Shakespeare) was made for the sole purpose of entertainment to the readers (or, in this case, viewers). So while yes, poetry is an absolutely fantastic means of expressing oneself through literature, this is not all it's about, and it's important that any beginners to poetry beware of that common misconception and allow themselves to truly understand the talent it takes to write ten or more pages following a strict and certain rhyme scheme, for the means of entertainment, not solely expression.

This is all.
