What does poetry mean to you? Do you like poetry? Do you think poems matter in society? Do you have a favorite poem? If so, please share it with us!

Poetry to me is a form of expression that allows for creativity, emotion, and depth to be conveyed through words. I do enjoy poetry and find it to be a beautiful art form that can evoke strong emotions and provoke thought.

I believe that poems do matter in society as they have the power to inspire, challenge, and connect people on a deeper level. They can also serve as a means of reflection and understanding of the human experience.

One of my favorite poems is "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost:

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
