Why do people write poetry?

[Wildcard]

I write songs and receive a good deal of satisfaction from recording them and seeking their publication. As for poetry, I started only recently, but I feel much the same content from capturing a moment or feeling in a poem as I do in a song. Truthfully, I started playing guitar because I was jealous of other people that could express what I heard in my head with their fingers on an instrument. I have never gotten to the point that I can play anything I can imagine, but still I find it enjoyable to try.
