Morphology

heartfelt + poetry

The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining heartfelt (sincere, deeply felt) with poetry (verse), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer 'poetry that expresses sincere and profound emotions.' This is a straightforward adjective+noun composition common cross-linguistically and follows ordinary compositional semantics, making it immediately comprehensible without prior exposure.

Etymology

The phrase heartfelt poetry comes from the image of feelings you can feel in the heart. Heart and felt together show a deep, 'sincere' feeling, so the phrase means poetry that expresses strong emotion.
