As put by James Reeves, a reknown poet and writer of poetry;poetry is verse with magic. Like an other subject, poetry has aspects which explain the 'how' of its nature and structure. Language,technique,rythme, rhyme,vocabulary and punctuation are some of these aspects. One's enjoyment or appreciation of poetry.
