Poetry is a literary genre that communicates experience in the most condensed form.
Poetry is a multidimensional language: an intellectual dimension, an emotional d, a sensuous d, and an imaginative d. These dimensions work together to pass experience to the reader. Poetry tries to say the most in the fewest possible words.

He who draws noble delights from the sentiments of poetry is a true poet, though he has never written a line in all his life. — George Sand
