Poetry

Is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of languagesuch as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metreto
evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, the prosaic ostensible meaning.
Poetry has a long history, dating back to the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh. Early poems evolved from folk songs such as the Chinese
Shijing, or from a need to retell oral epics, as with the Sanskrit Vedas, Zoroastrian Gathas, and the Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey. Ancient
attempts to define poetry, such as Aristotle's Poetics, focused on the uses of speech in rhetoric, drama, song and comedy. Later attempts concentrated
on features such as repetition, verse form and rhyme, and emphasized the aesthetics which distinguish poetry from more objectively informative,
prosaic forms of writing. From the mid-20th century, poetry has sometimes been more generally regarded as a fundamental creative act employing
language.

Elements of Poetry
Stanza, Rhyme and Rhyme Scheme, Rhythm and Meter, Alliteration, Simile, Metaphor, Imagery, Symbolism,
Imagery
The figurative painting of a vivid picture in the mind of a reader with words is imagery. This element is most exploited in descriptive poem
where the poet has the scope to use ornate adjectives, lofty language and an exquisitely elaborate canvas to give wings to his imagination. Of course,
this scope is primarily offered by the dynamic nature of a descriptive poem.
Lyric poetry
is a form of poetry which expresses personal emotions or feelings, typically spoken in the first person. [1] The term derives from a form of
Ancient Greek literature, the lyric, which was defined by its musical accompaniment, usually on a stringed instrument known as a lyre.[2] The term
owes its importance in literary theory to the division developed by Aristotle between three broad categories of poetry: lyrical, dramatic and epic.
Forms of poetry
Triolet, Ballade, Cinquain, Ghazal, Epic, Terza Rima, Elegy, Prose Poem, Glossary, Epigram
Narrative poetry is a form of poetry that tells a story, often making use of the voices of a narrator and characters as well; the entire story is usually
written in metred verse. Narrative poems do not have to follow rhythmic patterns. The poems that make up this genre may be short or long, and the
story it relates to may be complex. It is usually well it normally dramatic, with objectives, diverse characters, and metre. [1] Narrative poems include
epics, ballads, idylls, and lays.
Some narrative poetry takes the form of a novel in verse. An example of this is The Ring and the Book by Robert Browning. In terms of narrative
poetry, a romance is a narrative poem that tells a story of chivalry. Examples include the Romance of the Rose or Tennyson's Idylls of the King.
Although these examples use medieval and Arthurian materials, romances may also tell stories from classical mythology
Why speech and communication important in our lives?
Thus sharing ideas makes life worth living. Now Let's deal with the question at hand.
1. Your identity lies in your thoughts.
What makes you unique is the way you think, and to let the world know what your opinions are about a particular topic, you must know how to
communicate well.
2. Makes you the 'social animal':
To have friends and people around, whom you can trust , you must express yourself to them because only after that the person gets a hint of what
kind of thoughts you have and does the frequency of your ideas match with their ideas.
3. It makes you learn in a better way.
Learning new skills or gaining knowledge is about asking the write questions and then discussing possible solutions to those questions or arriving at
new problems. For doing all these things you must be good at communicating.
4. Power
If you are good at communicating and you know how to clearly express your thoughts , then you can control or persuade a large audience, which is
called power. Think about the most popular leaders, they have always been great at expressing their thoughts.

What are the basic assumption governing public speaking, argumentation and debate?
Basic Assumptions:
Presumption - lies with the status quo. It is presumed that I will continue on the way I am heading unless I get a reason to change. No reason? No
action.
Status Ouo - the present system. Whatever is at issue (the norm). Presumption lies with the status quo. Also tells you who has the burden of proof.
Burden of Proof - the flip side of Presumption. If you are the one advocating the change, you must prove the case. You must overcome
presumption.
Proposition - If you agree with the status quo, then there is no reason to change. You must make an actual claim: We should change the way we do
business. In academic debate, all propositions begin with Resolved. Example: Resolved: That the United States should provide
military aid to non-democratic countries. This is often called the resolution.

Emotional Intelligence - Emotional intelligence (EI) or emotional quotient (EQ) is the ability of individuals to recognize their own and
other people's emotions, to discriminate between different feelings and label them appropriately, and to use emotional information to
guide thinking and behavior.

physical ability - the ability to perform some physical act; contrasting with mental ability
