When Divepen asked me to be a part of this workshop, I was excited. I wasn't really sure about the subject I was given though. All I could think was how personal poetry can be. I even started a thread asking why others write poetry.


Someone on that thread made a comment that poetry made no real contribution to society. I must respectfully disagree, and this is why:


Poetry is not just a means for individuals to express themselves. Poetry can evoke powerful emotions. A poem can take existing emotions and channel them in any direction the author chooses.


A good poet can make you feel anything they choose to put upon you. He who can control the emotions of others, can direct them wherever they wish them to go.


Here are a few examples of poetry that evoke strong emotion, and helps people see things from a different view.
