Sound of Poetry(Meter and rhyme) Images and Symbolism Diction / tone/mood/ Forms of Poetry Types of poetry
Poetry is an art form in which human language is used for its aesthetic qualities in addition to, or instead of, its semantic content. It may use condensed form to convey emotion or ideas to the reader's or listener's mind ; it may also use devices such as assonance and repetition to achieve musical effects. Poems frequently rely for their effect on imagery, word association, and the musical qualities of the language used.
Poetry is more intense than other writings----more intense with feelings, and more intense in its concentration of meaning. Poetry is the true language of emotion.
