In the words of William Wordsworth, one of the greatest poets of all time, all good poetry is a spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotions recollected in tranquility. Poetry is a beautiful manifestation of the spontaneous emotions of a poet. A poem is created when emotions find the right words to express themselves. A poem often begins in an abstract idea that is developed by means of concrete words, without letting the idea lose its abstractness! Those of you with a poetic mind will agree with me on this, I am sure. Poetry has a long history. The earliest forms of poetry were recited and sung. With the passing years, it obtained a structured form that later evolved into a free verse format.
