I had to share this. My creative writing students have begun the poetry unit, and today I asked them to define "poetry." Of course there were the usual elements named--rhyme, rhythm, simile, metaphor. Nobody brought up anything about it being an art form. Then a student said:
"It's like when the words make no sense at first, but then they get inside your head and go BLAM!"
Poetry: Words that go BLAM!
Awesome.
