Poetry as Art
When it comes to poetry, Aristotle knows the lengths it takes to be a stupefying poet. Like making a song, a poem needs to have multiple layers to make the listener key into whats being uttered. If someone were to look at a full score for a symphony, he would see that not only does each section of instruments have a different part but the sections music is split into three different parts as well. Music can be very complex and often hard to find where the melody really lies, however, that is part of the beauty in music. Listeners have to really focus on all parts of the music to learn how to focus in on what is really being played. Poetry is so much like a complex piece of music. Readers want to be challenged with the story of a poem and I believe that Aristotle was on point with the beauty and complexity of poetry.

I agree. Aristotle truly understood the complexity, intricacy and beauty it takes in writing in order to be an amazing poet. Each small piece draws together to make a pleasing harmony to the readers eyes and mind.
