What is the purpose of poetry?

To express feelings and emotions
To illustrate abstract concepts
To convey complex ideas succinctly
To represent the influence of society

The correct answer is: To express feelings and emotions

Poetry is a form of literature that uses language and rhythm to evoke emotions and convey personal experiences. Therefore, the purpose of poetry is primarily to express feelings and emotions. Option A is the best answer because it accurately captures the essence of what poetry is meant to do. Option B may be partially correct, as poetry can also convey abstract concepts, but this is not its main purpose. Option C is incorrect as poetry does not aim to convey complex ideas in a succinct manner. Option D is also incorrect as poetry is a means of expression and not necessarily a representation of society's influence.
