Poetry is somthing that comes from the hart
Somthing you fill deep inside
It could be about some one you
love,
hate,
also hope,
a friend,
a love one,
And pain,
Just anything
Some people wright because they have been hart
Outhers right because they are hiding somthing
But to me it is just a way of tell others how you fill,
a way of speech and freedom
Some see it as a way of letting out cries
Others she it as a way of help
And it helps them from hurting them self
I see it as a way of making one smile
Poetry is what ever you make of it
And there are mane ways of weighting poetry
Some rime some dont and miney more
And this is what I think of Poetry.

Writing poetry is an excellent way of truly being able to express yourself. Some are more able to reveal their inner self in a way they may not be able to face to face with someone.
Here you have shown how poetry can bring out all the facets of ones wonderful qualities etc.
I will show send you an IM with a few changes you may wish to make that will improve your poem
I always use spell check... I tend to use notepad to do a draft, then I use the spell check, then transfer the work onto the page here.
Well done, this is a fine effort, I do encourage you to continue with your writing

were those typos? or deliberate misspellings to make a point? either way it expresses fairly well your views

Thank you for your entry.
Although this piece clearly fills the first 2 criteria being clearly written and easily comprehensible without the use of linguistic short cuts such as text talk and the like, it does have serious problems with the third and fourth criteria ie spelling and reference to other poets. Even the title appears to be in error with mines instead of means.
It does however contain 4 lines that I feel have a very strong case for inclusion in a discussion on the point of poetry. (without the slips) these are
Some people write because they have been hurt
Others write because they are hiding somthing
But to me it is just a way to tell others how you feel,
a way of speech and freedom.
Thanks for those lines and thanks again for taking the time to enter.

I applaud your thoughts and respect them. However, if you run this through the spell check and correct the typos it will read so much better.
