What is poetry?
Poetry is an expression of one’s will. What is kept in the heart is the will, but when expressed in words, it is poetry.
——《 The Book of Songs》
该句出自中国古代诗歌理论文献《毛诗序》。《毛诗》是西汉初年鲁国的毛亨和赵国的毛苌所辑、注的《诗经》版本,《毛诗序》即为它所作的序言,其作者不详。这句话说明了诗歌具有抒情言志的功能。
诗者,志之所之也,在心为志,发言为诗。

床前明月光,疑似地下霜。
——李白
两情若是久长时,又岂在朝朝暮暮。

If love between both sides can last forever,
Why need they stay together night and day?
A pool of moonlight before bed, took it to be frost on the ground.

Say the following poems in Chinese.
Long and winding is the road ahead, I will keep searching and probing between heaven and earth.
路漫漫其修远兮,
吾将上下而求索。
一屈原
If you have a friend
who knows your heart.
Distance cannot keep you two apart.
海内存知己,天涯若比邻。

冬天来了,春天还会远吗?
——雪莱
If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?
—Percy Shelley
Liberty and love, these two I must have.
For my love I’ll sacrifice My life.
For liberty I’ll sacrifice My love.
——Sandor Petofi
生命诚可贵,爱情价更高。
若为自由故,二者皆可抛。
—裴多菲
A Spring Morning
By Meng Haoran
This spring morning in bed I’m lying,
Not to awake till birds are crying.
After one night of wind and showers,
How many are the fallen flowers!
(Translated by Xu Yuanchong)

美国黑人作家、诗人、剧作家、编辑、演员、导演和教师
The caged bird sings 笼中之鸟,
with a fearful trill 撕心裂肺,啼啭啾啾
of things unknown 所唱是未知之物,
but longed for still 却依然渴求
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill 歌声传到了远处的山丘
