Poetry is one of the most universal vehicles of human expression, and one of the most important of all written media for describing experiences.Poetry is a constant, being produced by all known civilizations from ancient to modern times. Throughout this extensive history, poetry has been made to address a vast array of subject matters, including love, war, social issues, the beauty of nature and the love of God. In part, poetry achieves its power through the use of various devices that not only seduce the reader, but also enhance the oral delivery of the piece. These devices include rhyme scheme, meter and line breaks.
