On poetry

Just read a beautiful song at Ankur's blog and had to write some comments.

Though the technical aspects of the poetry - for that matter literature - is beyond me , I always liked them. They can convey so much with so few words. When silence is not enough and prose too heavy, use poetry to convey your feelings... Well that definitely forces me to understand the technical aspects of one - but then does one need that knowledge to appreciate good poetry?

Yes, the tech knowledge gives you greater details about the poem and admire not only the meaning but the poet's talent as well.
