This is an opinion question.

What do you think is the purpose of poetry?

To express the authors feelings I guess ... or just to tell a short story that maybe rhymes.

Answer: Some read Poetry for discovering and exploring the deeper meanings and connections of the world. Those who expect philosophical insights from their poetry might often prefer poetry that is mysterious-even esoteric or arcane. Something that forces them to look and think twice, not just at the poem, but at the world around them. For poets like Baudelaire, says Hamburger, the external world is a forest of symbols. Poets can use these symbols to speak of the world in deeper ways than we are accustomed to thinking. Mallarme believed that Art "simplifies the world." Hamburger, speaking in Platonic terms, explains Mallarme's statement in this way: "the artist reduces external phenomena to their single parent idea." Boris Pasternak believed that, in poetry, "meaning-content-must always lead."
