English teachers tend to ruin poetry by trying to find things that aren't there. Insead of appreciating it for what it is: Art.

When I think of poetry, I think of all the over-praised standard rhyming poetry and how it's not nearly as powerful or beautiful as poetry that follows its own rules. Slam poetry can be cool, but it needs to be done right.

I actually really like poetry, and it can inflict an array of emotions. I feel like it is a very good opportunity to express how you are feeling in a very unique way.

Like, every time I hear poetry I think about doing it for people. Writing something that expresses a strong emotion. It always contains words that you wouldn't commonly hear and it feels almost old. It has that feeling like 18th century vibes, running through the field of flowers, but at the same time, there is a plague and people are dying. The first true 'emo' pieces

When I think of poetry, I often resort to a poem that seems like it's supposed to be positive and happy yet the writer puts a twist on it, making it negative and somber. But it doesn't always have to be, I suppose it depends on the poet. It's a message that the author chooses to convey as a form of imagery.

I love the creative challenges it requires.  When else in writing do you get to rhyme and make puns?!

I think that teachers sort of ruin poetry, and not only poetry but creative writing as well. . Teachers usually try to push thoughts and ideas into your writing even though it's not their story so it shouldn't be the way they think it should.
