Poetry (from the Greek poiesis, with a broad meaning of a "making") is a form of literary art which uses the aesthetic qualities of language to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, the prosaic ostensible meaning.

Wikisource has a main portal for poetry as well as portals that collect works by period, subject, or form:
