Understanding of Poetry

Poetry is generally considered to be the

oldest of the arts. Long before our forefathers
learned to write, they sang, and recited lines of
verse.
 Among the literary genres, poetry is the
most closely related to music, like music, it
appeals to the senses and imagination. Like
music, too, it is meant to be heard. Poets
choose words for their sounds as well as for
their meanings. They combine these words to
create vivid pictures and to express deep
feelings.

- I have here a short poem

Short Poem About Friends

Being friends is about sharing our

live with others. There are some aspects of
our lives that require that we spend a lot of
time together or a lot of writing to help
convey our feelings. Other times sharing
only a few words are more than adequate.
It is not always the long conversation that
conveys the deepest feelings. Sometimes
longer made of expression may-seem
redundant and lacking of profundity.
Putting just the right combination of words
on paper in succinct style may just hit the
spot.

Question:

1. How you express the message or the

short poem about friends?

5. SENSORY / POETIC IMAGES
that talks to the reader, in some poems, the
speaker has a clear identity, using I and me. In
order poems, the speaker remains in the
background. The speaker is not necessarily the
same as the poet.

Sensory / Poetic Images by using sensory /

poetic images or words and phrases that appeal
to the five senses, a poet recreates an
experience. The reader can then imagine just
Analysis how things look, sound, feels, smell and taste.
