What is Poetry?

What is Poetry?

Meaning of the word Poetry:

Poetry is a
word of Greek origin. It comes from a verb with means “to
make, to create”. A poem is “something made or created”. The
poet is the creator and language is the material out of
which s/he creates his/her work of art.

Origins:

The precise origins of poetry are unknown. It is a very
ancient art which was born as an oral form and accompanied
by simple music and dance. it expressed what people regarded
as meaningful and memorable in their lives: natural
disaster, births and deaths, brave actions, dangerous
enemies, battles, etc.

It was often part of religious rites. Poets and listeners
enjoyed playing with words, choosing and arranging them to
produce music and meaning.

What a poem is:

Today poems exist in printed form, but the careful choice
and arrangement of words still account for the unique
quality of poetry.

Like other literary works poetry is made up of words. But
what is special about poetry? How is reading poetry
different from reading prose? A good start to answering the
question is to consider what poetry is concerned with:
poems.

A poem is a self-contained text, which makes sense as it
stands. It differs from prose most obviously because it is
written in lines whose length is decided by the author, not
the printer.

How the poem looks on the page, its visual
lay-out, is as important as its sound
quality. A poem makes intense use of language,
which results in a fare greater concentration of meaning
than is commonly found in prose.

Guidelines for reading Poetry:

In approaching a poem, you can ask the text some simple
questions which should help you to understand it:

- What is the poem about?

- Who is the voice speaking in the poem?

- To whom is the poem addressed?

- How is the poem written?

- Why has the poem been written?

Then… just enjoy it

William Blake – The Sick Rose

O Rose, thou art sick!
The invisible worm
That flies in the night,
In the howling storm,

Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.

Robert Lee Frost – The Rose Family

The rose is a rose,
And was always a rose.
But now the theory goes
That the apple’s a rose,
And the pear is, and so’s
The plum, I suppose.
The dear only knows
What will next prove a rose.
You, of course, are a rose–
But were always a rose.

Emily Dickinson – A light exists in Spring

A light exists in spring
Not present on the year
At any other period.
When March is scarcely here

A color stands abroad
On solitary hills
That science cannot overtake,
But human naturefeels.

It waits upon the lawn;
It shows the furthest tree
Upon the furthest slope we know;
It almost speaks to me.

Then, as horizons step,
Or noons report away,
Without the formula of sound,
It passes, and we stay:

A quality of loss
Affecting our content,
As trade had suddenly encroached
Upon a sacrament.

Kal chand se ye sawal kiya

Kal chand se ye sawal kiya

Bata to sahiWo kesa hay ?

To us ne kaha

Kuch meri kirnon K jesa hay

Kuch aftaab K jesa hay

Kuch kaliyon C hay muskan us ki

Kuch khiltey gulaab K jesa hay

Kuch ujaley mein hay jhalak us ki

Kuch raat K shabaab K jesa hay

Agar hussn ko main eik sawal kahoon

To us K jawab K jesa hay

Jise dekhoon aur main choo na sakoon

Aisay sundar khwaab K jesa hay

Kehtay hain ishq ibadat hay

To wo us K sawaab K jesa hay....

Hoon ajeeb kashmakash main

Dil mar jane noon
