DRAFT OF NUMBER OF MY THOUGHTS ABOUT POETRY

Introduction into my understanding what is poetry

I think poetry is, in general, the same text that we read in prose if to think about the poetry as a sort of contents of words. Poetry has words inside, and the same prose does. So, trying to write some poetry, I must watch all the books that were written in the past as the Bible, Quran, Indian Sanskrit and Chinese Historical books (but about the Indian I have very vague acknowledgement, while Chinese I more or less understand as some sort of poetry and history of ancient kings). So, probably, if I read the Bible, I must also read the Quran, Indian Sanskrit books, and then, if I see there is some I can add to the told in the ancient books, I would add some my new poetry, in all, some number of words, which I can, if I want, to write in rhyme. But now I have huge problem: I am afraid to read the Indian Sanskrit and the Quran, because I guess there are lots of vague words, that I need during hundred years to read, and, probably, it may happen, I then will regret that I waisted my time on the reading instead enjoying my usual Christian life, or to say pricesely, to suffer my Christian cross in the view of the obtainig the Kingdom of Heaven. In all, I think, I saw in brief in the Quran, then a bit in the Sanskrit, and quickly back to suffer with my cross of following Jesus Christ.
