Poetry

I enjoy it, but sometimes, if it's depressing, I find myself as depressed as the tone of the poem.

Something about poems resonates deeper than the grammatically incorrect, unevenly broken up sentences that comprise a poem.

It's interesting because I think the term that was used to talk about poems that have a lilt and rhythm was lyric. "Song-like." I like that.

I suppose that's why sometimes poetry, like music, evokes something ineffable. 言葉だけ くせに。("even though it's only words" - the Japanese captures the tone I'm trying to get at better imo).
