Embraces me each day ...
A woman whom I dearly love,
Much more than words can say." - Kit McCallum

Significance

In my studies, I can use the term poetry with many subjects. One subject can be Physcology. For instance, many people who write poetry are expressing what they feel and what their emotions are. Poetry can help people understand the way someone lives or the way someones thinks.
Poetry in important in Language Arts because of the way how it can date back into history and show the meanings of why a person did this or that. It is also important because it is a different way of writting. It is like writting persuasive essays, autobiographies, etc. Without poetry, people's thoughts would be narrowed down and they will not be able to express themselves in their own individual way.
