Poetry is to see the relationships between one thing and another. (Metaphor and simile.)

Stanley Fish: “Poetry is seen through poetry seeing eyes.”

DQ: Meets Dulcinea of Toboso. Euw. Of course, he thinks she is enchanted, and Sancho helps him out with this. PG 519.

Point of today as I see it: Poetry is all around us. We just have to be able to see it. We have to be able to pick out the similiarities in everyday things. For example: SETI and Mormonism. They are Both religions in their own rights. Both consist of large grousp of men gathering together to discuss their “most important” ideas. This is poetry. And comedy.
