    As seen through the lens of creativity research, poetry is a multifaceted and complex domain. The importance of creativity in poetry may be best understood in the exploration of expert-level poets as opposed to studying a layperson's journey through what would be considered everyday poetry creativity. Instead, the observation of more eminent levels of poetic writing serves a greater purpose in many ways on gaining a full understanding of the scope poetry covers. First, understanding the functional process of writing poetry allows for a foundational knowledge of the nuanced process of writing poetry. Adding the intricacies of the creative process, allows the reader to see not only how it uniquely relates to poetry, but also how the poetic process sets a gold standard for the creative process.
