Why is poetry wrote

People write poetry because that's a way to express yourself how you really feel about things and also because you can show a special girl how you feel about her. Other people do it because they write rhymes or they write music, but it still has something to do with poetry. I don't write poetry but I do write rhymes to go with my rap songs that I'm working on. I want to start writing poetry because I have allot to write but I don't know how I would get started with it.
