1)The subject matter of poetry is related to ordinary but real human emotions like sources of gratification or causes of pain.It gives generalized and simplistic form to human emotions and other affairs related to human life in such a way that it appeals to common sense.Thus poetry in this sense becomes a language of imagination and the passion. 2)Poetry is actually the ultimate reflection of unique feelings of heart and thus a source of self understanding.Besides it brings into prominence the relation of self with external world of nature. 3)History by its very nature is chronological account of events devoid of emotions.By contrast poetry brings life to even historical events by giving them a humanistic touch. 4)The value of life devoid of poetry comes to the level of animals.This is so since all human emotions are in essence poetical in nature .Thus poetry places humans on a higher pedestal than animals by giving form to human nature
