Truthseeker thanks for the link to the poetry foundation.
In my opinion Poetry is:-
A) Serene
B) Free of elements of thought that may trespass upon universally accepted principals.
However does not the success of a poet come down to there descriptions of nature and of ones feelings? My observation is the poet and any artistic form of expressing God, are held up to the light on this forum and ridiculed. Now I am not saying that is right or wrong, but what I would say is that if I wasn't an athiest I may even be a poet.
