I like poetry being a deep, and wide river since, poetry always changes, like rivers, they will, run out, overflow, or freeze over. The river is big which shows how poetry is more than just words on paper

Poetry for me, is a ocean because it flows easily and it can be calm or intense.

Poetry is a waterfall because the words are like water flowing down in a certain way with a certain rhythm.

Poetry is a spark (not necessarily a firework, a spark). It can do many things for you. It can start to get you thinking, or get you interested in a topic. It can make you sad, angry, happy, or maybe even confused. It usually starts something that grows into something bigger.

Poetry is both, and neither. It really depends on how it’s being used. One person may use it as a firework of feelings and ideas, while another may use it as a machine, getting their point, or message across. I think the best way to describe poetry is an idea. I think this because it can be used many ways, and many people make poetry without realizing it.

I would define it as “boneless literature” because it can be viewed as a story no structure and little to no plot and character development.

I would think poetry as a river always flowing together and smooth.

I would describe poetry like the stars they grow, shine brightly, and die. There are large stars that show how some poetry can be bigger than others and some that shine brighter meaning they have a greater impact.

I think a metaphor would be a body of water, like an ocean. I think this because both water and poetry are loose and free.

As obscure and random as this sounds, I consider poetry a ladybug, because poetry is quick, quiet, small, and beautiful, much like a ladybug.

I would say poetry is a picture made of words because I can usually clearly see the image the author is conveying through their words.

I see poetry as water because every drop of water is unique and different like every poem is.

Poetry is a bomb because it is short, concise, and leaves an impact on the person who is reading it.

Poetry is like a good aged cheese: it's dense, rich, and good for enjoying
in the shower.

1.  It is a firework because poetry is a blast of different words.

Poetry is like a snowflake. Each poem is different and unique.

Poetry is the earth, because it is diverse and always changing just like the earth is. Also, when humans will change it, and alter it to fit their needs.

Poetry is color in a world of grey. I think that this metaphor applies because compared to literature and prose, poetry stands out, because it is so different. Where prose is simple and monotonous, poetry flows with a rhythm that isn't even remotely similar to prose.

Poetry is a  message. I picked this metaphor, because every poem has a different message.

Poetry is a perfect world, a utopia, where every poem is allowed to roam freely with words.

Poetry is the sun setting, leaving people with a beautiful scene and a vivid image. I think this because of the fact that the sun in the sky all day, and the sun setting is really a different view of things.

I would consider poetry a machine made of words because poetry can really just be an writing that conveys meaning to you. It doesn't have strict rules to follow that bars creativity. So poetry is a machine made of words.

Poetry is a firework, exploding with emotion. Every poem has tons of emotion.

I believe poetry is writing without excess words. I chose this because of Joanna Smith’s tweet.
