Kubla Khan by Samuel Coleridge


“Poetry is an art…of representing, in words, external nature and human thoughts and affections, both relatively to human affections, by the production of as much immediate pleasure in parts, as is compatible with the largest sum of pleasure in the whole”.



After reading this quotation and having read the poem Kbla Khan written by Samuel Coleridge, I can say that poetry needs to be part of our lives. There are many things that can be related to poetry, for example we can make a poem about our own life experiences`, or we can create a poem based on our dreams and plans for the future. If we would like to have a different and better world, we can make it in a poem. Poetry helps us to express ourselves in a way that everybody can feel something once he/she reads that piece of writing. As it was mentioned in the previous quotation, "Poetry is an art...of representing, in words, external nature and human thoughts and affections..." It is important to say that it does not matter who you are or what you like to do, the main idea is that anyone can write a poem, but you have to say what you really want to. You have to express your thoughts, ideas and feelings.
A poem has to be real, fluent and sincere, in order that this can provoke any kind of expressions and feelings in the reader.
