The Word Poetry

The definition of poetry to me is a way of expressing yourself through short writings. I think poetry means that you can tell someone something or tell a story in a way some people would get and some people wont get for a very long time. When i think of poetry i think of depressed people, dont ask me why but i just do. I think poetry should be all happy and exciting so people would enjoy reading it. I dont like to read poetry to be honest and i dont like to write it, but some people say im good at it, i disagree with them. Poetry should be enjoyable and not make people think of the sad stuff in their lives.
