“Poetry is the watchful eye of the human race”

Simplified Meaning:
Poetry helps us see the world and our emotions more clearly. Just like how a detective observes details others might miss, poetry looks closely at our feelings, experiences, and surroundings. Imagine a painter capturing the beauty of a sunset, noticing every color and shade—poetry does this with words, painting pictures of our inner thoughts and the world around us. It encourages us to slow down and think deeply, finding meaning in things we usually overlook. For example, a poem about a simple walk in the park can make us appreciate the laughter of children or the rustle of leaves. By reading and writing poetry, we learn to notice and value these moments, making our lives richer and more aware.
