What is Poetry? Who knows? <br />Not a rose, but the scent of the rose; <br /> Not the sky, but the light in the sky; <br />Not the fly, but the gleam of the fly; <br /> Not the sea, but the sound of the sea; <br />Not myself, but what makes me <br /> See, hear, and feel something that prose <br />Cannot: and what it is, who knows.<br /><br />Eleanor Farjeon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poetry-328/
