Do you think poetry becomes necessary?

In a way, everyone needs poetry all the time. But some people do not realize this and others do realize it but feel it is insignificant. Much depends on how you define "poetry" and "necessary". To me, a sunset is a poem, a flower is a poem, and even a soft, cool breeze, on a warm day, is a poem. So, does anyone NEED these things? Obviously, we need air and sunlight to survive. But do we need to see that these things are beautiful, to survive? Probably not. But still if you do see the beauty and the poetry in life, then life becomes a richer, more fulfilling experience. If you want your life to be rich and fulfilling, then you need (good) poetry in your life. Otherwise, you don't need poetry. But the poetry is still there, anyway.
