Why Poetry Amaze and Amuse Me ?

I have been asked, why do I attempt to write poems more, when a lot of prose can be written, when prose can convey much more than what poems do in a single read?

 I have always had, and still have a single and simple answer that each poem has a story. A story of someone’s pain, agony, love, loneliness, joy, success.

and then I have been asked why do most of my writings sound melancholic? 

The answer is quite simple again, what can you write about happiness when its best felt and absorbed? 

Pain, on the contrary needs to b shed from your head, and brain, and heart, and what more is better than poetry ?

Every poem has a story in it, every poem has a dream in it. Every poem has the poet’s heart in it.
