To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.

William Blake


what is poetry, is it confined to certain styles, is it confined to even words alone, why does it evoke such emotions and thoughts, and more importantly does it define art?

your thoughts :) ?
