I think this quotation means poetry is one of those elements in life that we enjoy and actually want to do. If you are not in school you are not forced to write poetry like you are forced to work. I am not quite sure however if I totally agree that poetry should be put alongside beauty, romance and love as a reason why we live. Thats like saying I love the big plays, hard hits and... ...the mowing of the grass in sport. Love, romance and beauty are always going to be on the minds of people everyday but I don't necessarily think poetry is. However poetry is a huge element in some people's lives and this is only my opinion.
I collected two examples of poetry last night for homework. They were both advertisements on television, one was for Nicorette and one was for Mrs Mac's. I believe they were made as poetry as to keep the message catchy and in people's heads. If the adds are played often enough people will remember the tunes and the words so next time they think of a product they need, the certain store will pop up in their head.
Catchyas Next Week!

I very much enjoyed reading your blog as it included many of the points that I believe also. You could almost say I found it transcendingly enjoyable. I would have liked it if you changed your quote 'hard hits, big plays and.......the mowing of the grass', to guns, bullets and.........gun safety.
