What do you feel poetry can accomplish that other forms can't?
Poetry can slip seamlessly into daily life. It can be written on public walls, embroidered on scarves, tattooed on skin, sent as a postcard, quoted in scientific papers, and sung as a song. It can be tweeted or written out by hand in a love letter. Poetry can be part of a movie or a novel. Poetry can ride the bus or subway as a poetry poster. Poetry can be memorized and carried anywhere in one's mind. Poetry can combine and contain fiction and fact, philosophy and science, music and art and much more.
