Answer:

Poetry is difficult because it consists of the serious compression of information in very few words. One must know the structure, form and literary devices to fully appreciate the work. Poetry is considered to be the most honorable literary genre.

  • Tone is tough to get at times.
  • Line breaks draw our attention. ...
  • The subject matter and setting may be elusive, leading us to (mistakenly) believe we're reading riddles.
  • Free verse may see like broken up, fragmented prose instead of poetry.

Answer:

The answer is:

Step-by-step explanation:

Poetry, poetry, poetry. Many people say that they want to become a poet when they grow up (its just a prediction, you don't need to include this, only if you want :D) But do they actually know how hard it is?

Poetry is one of the most hardest subjects in literature, and I don't deny that. Poets have an extremely hard job because they have to make all these songs. Poetry is hard because:

1) You need to make it rhyming, which is really hard.

2) You need to have great ideas to develop a good poem, faulty ideas will get you no where.

3) The grammar should be correct and there should be no spelling mistakes. In a story, this would have been easy, but its not the same thing with a poem.

Hope this helps....

Have a nice day!!!!

Sub to Beluga (I call him Begula) if you can :D
