Poetry vs Reality

So the line or separation between poetry and reality isn't definite. It's ultimately what you make of it. I mean it's greater than humans; it's minute compared to government policies and procedures. The level of complexity is comprehensible by the average; I mean it's border line common sense. Poetry is transcribed to evoke feelings. Some truthful and some mythical but poetry nonetheless; always serving its purpose. If it's good.

I like to see words, live, think and be words. Getting to know them far beyond the bare minimum. I care what they mean to you. How you view them; if tears can really be stimulated by them, and if the verse you read is truly inspired by them. There is a huge difference between poetry that is written with words and poetry that is inspired by words. It's the placement and the meaning. Again the feeling you can take from it is totally different. Words and feelings, poetry in a nutshell. Reality and reason...living through stories we tell through verse. The difference between poetry and reality is special. The stories can be true; that's why the feelings overtake you. Just because its reality may not be true for the the writer doesn't mean it's not true for you, who which it was inspired. I see its effect on you and noted it. That's why you can easily relate to it. It's a better brand, maybe one step above generic, because it's comprehensible. Personally speaking poets poetically seek your connection. So I have probably confused you, but just like the evening news, poetry easily consumes you.
