‘Poetry can be very big or very small, it can be a verb or be verbed, it can be ice tea or a bottle of hot water; any word or facial expression, any whimpering child or lake awakened by dawn may well contain 77,7 % poetry. In other words, poetry is not necessarily written, but it moves through our daily lives. You can even describe someone's blood circulation very poetically or the colours of dishes may simply be salted by poetic juices.’ – Poet Ye Mimi. Name it and you’ll find it in poetry: the clouds, a flower, feminism, a building, a feeling, politics, an argument, friendship, an outing, an animal, an idea, a happening or memory, love and death of course… Some poems even include recipes! Some poems have depth, some don’t. Some poems are abstract, some are not. They are written to draw attention. Often with the intention of making the reader think about a subject.
