Poetry

One day, I was sitting under a tree,

I had nothing to do, so I was free.

I started thinking about a mystery,

That why many have tried to define poetry.

I get trapped in that situation,

And sank in a poetic world of imagination.

I started searching answer to this question,

That's why no one is able to define composition.

I got one answer after a long illusion,

That poetry is a combination of rhyme, music and vision.

It has a feeling and emotion,

Which convey a message to the whole nation.

I got only one answer again and again,

That poetry can relieve all the pains.

It has power to convert snow into rain,

And if you can successfully define it,

Then you can change your life,

Only with help of a paper and a pen.

Kind of like trying to capture lightining in a jar I think. Every writer will have their own definition of poetry and the dictionary will have a standard one but generic and probably flaccid to people who write poetry.
I'm glad I happened upon your definition Anshuman.

[Anshuman Aryav]

Yaa every writer has its own definition of poetry and every writer think his definition is the best.

"It has power to convert snow into rain,"

I cannot think of a better idea on how to describe poetry than this powerful line. From a hard core to a free flowing feeling. This is so good! Nice!

Poetry is like love — it's difficult to define but you know it when you feel it. In his essay "Poetic Principle," Edgar Poe wrote what is probably the most brief and well-known definition of poetry. He defined it as the "rhythmical creation of beauty," which, in my opinion, is quite accurate since poetry (including free-verse) is meant to have a sense of word-flow, with the line breaks enhancing the readability.
I think your definition gives a good perspective in the rhetorical sense. Poetry is, in many cases, the bleeding of emotions and a cathartic experience for the writer. It can also be quite humorous and light-hearted ... all depends on what the author's going for. I found this piece thought-provoking in conveying the various gifts poetry has to offer.

Suggestions:
- In lines four and eight, the phrase "that why" needs to be "that's why."
- In the fifth-to-last line, "relief" needs to be "relieve."
