Pertaining to the Business of Writing Poetry

Tis a frequent complaint of my fellow scholars,

That the essence of poetry

Lies within its alliteration and analysis,

Yet I disagree.

For poetry is not always comprised of puzzling language

and symbolic literary devices,

It can also be based off of

The pure feelings of the poet.

Often a poem is a story

Of those feelings being said,

And perhaps alliteration is not always quite necessary,

But it does add a rather beautiful touch.
