Many poems are actually felt rather than read. This is the result of the application of a sentimental language during the composition of the poem. To externalize this sentimentality, the poet uses figures of speech and several rhetorical resources that are capable of intensifying all the sentimentality present in the words.
An example of poetry that is felt rather than read is "Annabel Lee" written by Edgar Alan Poe. This poetry has a strong melancholy content and expresses in a masterly way the pain and sadness of losing someone loved.
