Poetry is a literary genre in which the formal and evocative qualities of language are used to contribute to or even replace its prosaic or literal meaning. This can be transposed to live arts. When we say something is poetic, we mean that it is touching us, often in subtle ways that are difficult to describe. We can endeavour to make things poetic or we can simply allow ourselves to find the poetry in things. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
