Why Poetry? Why Not?

Why not?  
I've had this question a number of times. 
My answer has always been why not. 
Today I've decided to share the heart  of the art of all times. 

Poetry relies on the writer's feelings, history and perceptions, 
Every person has a background needed to write poems. 
Poetry draws on the senses and the senses give deep access to memories and feelings and better actions.  
Poetry writing is relevant and interesting that's why I'll never stop writing these poems. 

Why Poetry? Why Not? 
Poetry is a language that says more and says it more intensely than does ordinary language, 
Poetry takes all life as its province. Its primary concern is not with beauty, philosophical truth or persuasion, but with experience that's the advantage. 
Poetry will never leave you feeling lonely, to you that's the promise. 

Poetry comes to us bringing life, and focuses on giving us a better understanding of life, 
Between poetry and other genres of literature there is one sharp distinction. 
Poetry writing is a friend to all writers, after writing one shall not strife, 
Engrossing and honest, poetry extends universally to all members of society facing every situation. 

Poetry exists to communicate significant experience imaginatively and creatively, 
Deepening our knowledge of the senses more poignantly, 
Poetry can be inspirational on the highest level, 
Poetry provides the reader with a precious affair, frequently incandescent, giving off both light and heat in an intense level. 

Poetry is a kind of multi-dimensional language. 
It is directed at the whole person, not just at his/her understanding. 
Poetry involves reader's senses, intelligence, emotions and imagination that's the advantage, 
From where I'm standing a deeper understanding is outstanding.  

Poetry achieves its extra dimensions per word by employing devices including metaphor, allusion, sound, repetition, rhythm, irony, symbol, connotation and imagery, 
Using these resources and the materials of life, poetry, in its highest form, comes alive on the page.
My poems provides vision to the dark world, that's why I'll always be a visionary. 
I've aimed to write for a specific group but its seem to touch every age. 

Next time someone ask me why poetry, without a stage I'll point them to this page.  

Why Poetry? Why not?
