Footprints on Earth

Poetry is language in its purest state: a literary work in which the expression of feelings and ideas is given intensity by the use of distinctive style and rhythm. No ifs ands or buts about it, it had been the most used, prestigious and passionate of literary genres for ages. It was the one brilliantly used by Greek and Roman classics like Homer and Virgil, who were able to give light to the most unforgettable epic stories with the strictest metrics of their period, which are still considered to be among the most outstanding books in literary history.
