The Greek term "poesis" which means "to create" or "to make" is said to
be the derivation of the word poetry. Poetry is indeed a majestic form of
literature for it manifests aesthetic value relative to how carefully language
is used by a certain poet. Mainly, this is an art of communicating
meanings, emotions, and values which leave an effect or impact on its
readers.

be derived in both spoken and written forms. In addition, it mainly considers the rhythmic
and other tonal aspects which are perceived to be intricate and complex. The creative use
of these aspects may help in establishing the beauty of poetry

Key Aspects of Poetry


a. Structure
Most poetic words utilize few words and these are mainly arranged in lines
and stanzas. However, the structure may have some different feature
depending on the style established by a writer. For example, a haiku, a
ballad, and a sonnet have peculiar structures.
b. Language
The writer of s poetic work mainly expresses familiar feelings, emotions,
conditions, and the like in an implicit and suggestive way. Thus, the words as
they are used in certain expressions may bear numerous meanings and
interpretations. The use of connotations, concrete words, as well as figurative
language can be perceived very evident in poetry writing. The writer may use
a variety of figurative language expression to beautify and heighten the effect
of poetic work.

Poem writing is most likely similar to song-writing. Various elements that may
contribute to the total effect and impact of a poetic masterpiece should be in
unity and harmony. In most cases, poets are careful of using various rhyming
patterns and even sound devices. For example, Shakesperean, Spenserian,
Petrarchan, sonnets have their own rhyming schemes and measurements.

for syllabication and line formation.
d. Emotional Appeal
Poems mainly convey meanings in a mysterious way. Thus, words, ideas, or
constructs used by the writer may bear certain meanings which go beyond the
literal or ordinary sense. A reader must have the ability to deduce and
interpret certain ideas that may lead to the better understanding of what the
poem reveals. Thus, a poem is composed of few words but it may bear a
volume of meanings depending on its reader.

and measurements. Sound devices, rhyming schemes, and repetitions are
