Succinct and poetic, Charlie. Said well. I've found reality to be a bit slippery, whereas one can have great fun wrestling a melody;-) Like your definition! ~ john

Yes and poetry is also in music. A love poem has poetry written all the time. I love poetry, reading it and writing poems. Have a nice evening my friend.

I love music, several types of music but my favourite is classical music. I find this music relaxing for me. Have a nice day my friend.

I tend to agree with you on this definition, although many great poems on based on some features of reality. Personally I love those poems that capture both reality and the heart. Many thanks for stopping by. Best to you in your writing endeavors. / M
