What is poetry?

Poetry (the term derives from a variant of the Greek term, poiesis, "making") is a Formatted: Space After: 12 pt

form of literature that uses aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language—such

as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre—to evoke meanings in addition to, or in
place of, the prosaic ostensible meaning. Poetry uses forms and conventions to
suggest differential interpretation to words, or to evoke emotive responses.
Devices such as assonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia and rhythm are
sometimes used to achieve musical or incantatory effects. The use
of ambiguity, symbolism, irony and other stylistic elements of poetic
diction often leaves a poem open to multiple interpretations. Similarly, figures of
speech such as metaphor, simile and metonymy create a resonance between
otherwise disparate images—a layering of meanings, forming connections
previously not perceived. Kindred forms of resonance may exist, between
individual verses, in their patterns of rhyme or
rhythm. Classical intellectualthinkers employed
classification as a way to define and assess the
quality of poetry. Notably, the existing fragments
of Aristotle's Poetics describe three genres of
poetry—the epic, the comic, and the tragic—and
develop rules to distinguish the highest-quality
poetry in each genre, based on the
underlying purposes of the genre.

Later aestheticians identified three major

genres: epic poetry, lyric poetry,
and dramatic poetry,

treating comedy and tragedy as subgenres of dramatic poetry . Later poets and
aestheticians often distinguished poetry from, and defined it in opposition
to prose, which was generally understood as writing with a proclivity to logical
explication and a linear narrative structure. This does not imply that poetry is
illogical or lacks narration, but rather that poetry is is an attempt to render the

beautiful or sublime without the burden of engaging the logical or narrative

thought process. English Romantic poet John Keats termed this escape

from logic "Negative Capability" This "romantic" approach views form as

a key element of successful poetry because form is abstract and distinct
from the underlying notional logic.

Poem’s structure
Poetry is often separated into lines on a page. These lines may be based on the Formatted: Line spacing: 1.5 lines

number of metrical feet or may emphasize a rhyming pattern at the ends of

lines. Lines may serve other functions, particularly where the poem is not
written in a formal metrical pattern. Lines can separate, compare or contrast
thoughts expressed in different units, or can highlight a change in tone.

Poetic form is more flexible in modernist and post-modernist poetry and

continues to be less structured than in previous literary eras. Many modern Commented [S1]: We have highlighted this sentence
poets eschew recognizable structures or forms and write in free verse. But because we wanted to remark the fact that when poetry
started, it had a specific structure and guide, while now a

much such structures may appear to have been ignored. Similarly, in the best
poetry written in classic styles there will be departures from strict form for
emphasis or effect.
Among major structural elements used in poetry are
 the line
 the stanza or verse paragraph
 larger combinations of stanzas or lines such as cantos.
Also sometimes used are broader visual presentations of words
and calligraphy. These basic units of poetic form are often combined into
larger structures, called poetic forms or poetic modes.
