can poetry matter

Poetry does matter because it is a form that may have been lost over the years but so many people are affected through the words spoken in poems. The nice thing about poetry is that some you can see clearly but then other times you have to interpret your own meaning to understand what you think the poet is writing about. Our lives would be boring if it didn’t have poetry in it, especially for the kind of people who are very romantic, because a lot of poems use words to describe things in such a short amount of time and you get this beautiful situation that someone is trying to portray and it actually gives you hope that there are people out there who are romantic and not just cold. People in this generation don’t want to be romantic or nice anymore and poetry helps out with this in a sense that even the most unromantic person can read a certain poem and it will remind them of something they loved or even lost at one point. These reasons are why poetry would matter I can’t imagine a word where there is no poetry it would be dull and boring. These abstract things called poems where people sit and right lines that you’d never think would go together but they were written just right for you to make sense of it, which is weird to me because just depending on who you are is how you interpret the poem.
