While poetry engages your emotions it does so in a rational and structured way. Poetry is smart. It does a formal dance around the emotions and engages them while also engaging your brain. Emotion on its own is mere sentimentality. Emotion in classical poetry fuses the intellect with emotion in a high and noble human experience. – See more at: https://home.isi.org/why-you-need-poetry#sthash.gWzjV2Uo.dpuf
