Poetry
If every country has myths,
legends, folktales transferred
orally from one generation to
another, before they were inked
onto paper, then posted online,
like short stories and novels,
you will discover that even
poetry started as an oral
tradition.
Poetry is a writing that formulates a
concentrated imaginative awareness of
experience in language chosen and arranged
to create specific emotional response
through meaning, sound, and rhythm.
Poetry (ancient Greek: poieo = I create) is
an art form in which human language is
used for its aesthetic qualities in addition to,
or instead of, its notional and semantic
content. It consists largely of oral or literary
works in which language is used in a
manner that is felt by its user and audience
to differ from ordinary prose.

Writing feels good
And I know it should
Who could have knew
That what I do
Is write, write, write.

the dead. It has no set metric or stanzaic
pattern, but it usually begins by
reminiscing about the dead person, then
laments the reason for the death, and
then resolves the grief by concluding
that death leads to immortality.

3. Sonnet: It is a lyric poem
consisting of 14 lines; with 10
syllable on each line. There are
two basic kinds of sonnets: the
Italian (or Petrarchan) sonnet and
the Shakespearean (or
Elizabethan/English) sonnet.
Example: Sonnet 18 by William
Shakespeare
Sonnet XVIII
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ows’t;
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
so long lives this, and gives life to thee.
The pattern in this case is abab/cdcd/efef/gg.
