A writer once defined poetry as the voice of solitary spirits, in contrast to prose that stands as the language of sociable souls. This is an accurate definition, for as the Nobel laureate W.
B. Yeats once propounded, poetry is born out of an inner struggle. The most gratifying aspect of this struggle is the comfort that a poem brings to other individuals. It is the knowledge that a poem will uplift the reader’s soul and elicit change that has always encouraged poets to carry on. If you feel that poetry is not for you, it is likely that you have never come across the right poet. The same applies to every field, doesn’t it? You can’t say you don’t like music as a whole simply because you don’t enjoy a specific genre of subgenre. So if you ever want to find out what are the poets and styles that will reflect the voice of your soul, try directing your browser to the Types of Poetry Website. There you will find poems grouped together by styles such as “Romantic Poetry” and “Modernist Poetry” along with poems that are collected by poetical forms such as lyric poetry and blank verse. Moreover, you can browse by author and luminaries such as Robert Frost, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Edgar Allan Poe are included to name but three.
