Poetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Poetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Quatrain on Heavenly Mountain" by Emperor Gaozong .
Poetry is an art form in which language is used for its aesthetic qualities in addition to, or instead of, notional and semantic content. Poetry has a long history , and early attempts to define poetry, such as Aristotle 's Poetics , focused on the various uses of speech in rhetoric, drama, song and comedy.[1] Later attempts focused on the deliberate use of features such as repetition and rhyme and the emphasis on aesthetics to distinguish poetry from prose .[2] Contemporary poets, such as Dylan Thomas , often identify poetry not as a literary genre within a set of genres, but as a fundamental creative act using language.[3]
Poetry often uses condensed forms and conventions to reinforce or expand the meaning of the underlying words or to invoke emotional or sensual experiences in the reader, as well as using devices such as assonance , alliteration and rhythm to achieve musical or incantatory effects. Poetry's use of ambiguity , symbolism , irony and other stylistic elements of poetic diction often leaves a poem open to multiple interpretations.
Specific forms of poetry have become traditional within and across different cultures and genres , and often respond to underlying characteristics of the language in which poetry is created. Each language's richness in rhyme and method of creating timing and tonal differences provides distinct opportunities for poets writing in that language. While those accustomed to identifying poetry with Shakespeare , Dante and Goethe may understand poetry by reference primarily to rhyming lines and regular accentual meter, other traditions, such as those of Du Fu and Beowulf , use other methods to achieve rhythm and euphony . In today's globalized world, poets often borrow styles, techniques and forms from different cultures and languages.
