Poetry Previous Knowledge Paragraph

I would rather read a poem instead of a story because a poem can tell a whole story in just a few lines that rhyme, and a book takes pages to tell how a character feels, and where the story is unlike a poem.  Another reason is because a poem is a another form of writing a story but with more rhyming and finesse put into it.  One last reason I would read a poem instead of a story is because a poem is something a poet wrote out of plane feeling instead of choosing their topic.  The poems people write is about what they feel at the moment and what they think.
