(My English is really poor, sorry. That it's my scool essay.)

Poetry is the oldest type of literature. It has been an important significance in history, because in early days when there wasn’t electronic information intermediate, information was passed mouth-to-mouth together poetry. Also worldview and gossips shift with poetry, because they are easier to remember than normal language. Message isn’t changed so easily in its route, which is due to rhythm, alliterations and rhyme.

Today poetry is not need information intermediate, but I still think that it’s important in some areas of life. For example music. The lyrics are poetry and in early days poems were lyrics. Information travel in form of singing long distances.
 
 In these times, the music is mostly entertainment, but many singers and songwriters, like Benjamin Zephaniah, still trying to tell their own ideas.
Most of people feels happy when they listen music, but like “normal poem” they can make people thinking different style.
 
Other place where poetry is in force is internet. There is many sites where is peoples own poems. Thousands and thousands.
 
Poetry lives, especially in internet and in music.
