Poetry Previous Knowledge Paragraph

I would rather read a poem then a story. The reason why is that I think that poems have more life to them.
I can relate more to a poem then I can to a story. I was always told that stories come from the mind most of the time, and that poems come from the heart. I like poems because i don't have to write a lot of word but those words mean so much more. the poem looks short but it is so big. Poems can mean many different things. This is the reason why I would rather read poems.
