Not only is the most important idea - the Truth, the actual origin of Poetry is the seeking of Truth and genuine Poets are the seekers of Truth. This is also the definition for Philosophers, because Philosophy is the pursuit of Truth. The main difference between Poetry and Philosophy is merely the usage of words and grammatical, with Poetry being fancy and flowering whereas Philosophy is expressing itself in Prose. There is a sense that the difference between the two is actually superficial; they are so similar as to be overlapping and intertwined. Those who would tell you otherwise are false teachers and misinforming. Many fools do not know what is poetry nor what is philosophy and certainly they are confused about if there is Truth or not.
