Typo? Should, "However, in the European tradition, the earliest surviving poems, the Homeric and Hesiodic epics, identify themselves poems to be recited or chanted to a musical accompaniment rather than as pure song," have an "as" after "themselves"?

What makes something poetry?

    • Jeff Harrison called it "better than nothing."

aside from the inescapable timebound (faddish) criteria, these two seem to be permanent: 1. "yugen", or mysterious beauty; i.e. resonance with the subconscious. (in the 18c.--often called the least poetical time for english-- this was not expected nor sought.)

2. "calliditas", or concise aptness. some--a very few--good poets lack this (Whitman, Jeffers) but there will always be those who refuse them the first rank for this reason.

Poetry is describing something perfectly.

i would also add: "melopoeia" or phonetic coherence (for some time now, in eclipse); "phanopoeia" or visual imagery; & "logopoeia" or conceptual originality (these are Pound's coinages).

"poignancy" belongs in here somewhere, but since every age draws the line between pathos & bathos differently, i can only suggest that poetry must be about the human feelings & situations which are thought to be worth exploring at that time. nowadays bad childhoods & famous artists appear frequently, while epics on the founding of political dynasties would be a very hard sell.

The poet and critic William Empson identified the quality of ambiguity as fundamental to poetry, i.e. that the response which poetry evokes is conditional to an extent upon the uncertainties within the language. His book 'Seven Types of Ambiguity' details the different forms in which ambiguity can manifest itself.

having one of these excellences is sufficient; but having many of them is still better.


Random colections of words become poetry when they are given meaning. If it means something to a large amount of people, then it is a good poem.

Somewhere I remember reading that "poetry is what gets lost in translation," and that one way to determine what makes a poem a poem was to attempt to paraphrase its notional content in prose. Smerdis of Tlön 18:52, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
As someone who has translated poetry, I always find that "poetry is what gets lost in translation" statement a bit offensive! That said, I'd say this does get at the heart of something -- maybe I'd prefer, "poetry is what's hard to translate." If technical writing is the easiest thing to translate, because all that really matters is direct notational content, then poetry is certainly the hardest thing to translate, not just because "accidental" features of language like puns are important, but also because poetry often draws on more subtle connotational content which doesn't translate as well. Tom

What about the state of poetry today?

i see "Poetry" (in english) balkanized as seldom before, with three mutually-ignoring, self-aggrandizing factions, Language Poetry, NeoFormalism, & Zeeps (free verse lyrics in the first person about mundane eventicles--aren't you glad this has a name?); with their immediate "godfathers" being Stein, Frost & Williams. (myself, i follow Mallarme if anyone, which puts me under the radar. so i guess there is a fourth group: STEALTH POETS...) --graywyvern


What passes for poetry these days is mostly in a sorry state, and even those who may have something to say are not saying it in the language most people can appreciate. Remember that in previous centuries, most of the best poets did not barricade themselves inside a "high art" dungeon.

But one should remember that - in the past - many people were not literate at all. Thus, a poet (good or bad) did not need to barricade themselves to be elite: they were already that by dint of their advanced literacy. And if much modern poetry is experienced as "difficult" or even totally nonsensical, it should be noted that poets (like all artists) can only express their own times and culture: this is no longer a world of divine certainties and non-ambiguity. Rather, we find ourselves in the midst of a "language meltdown" in which common words are corrupted by those who might have us reduced to incoherence. It is difficult to be "simply clear" in this rubble, and that simplicity was never all that pervasive anyway: John Donne's baroque meditations were no easier to digest then than they are now. There are still countless "popular poets" who can address daily life, or a topical subject in language clear as spring water. But nonsense, and seemingly empty sounds are as old as the wind: much "primitive" poems were essentially incantations in which the meanings of the words themelves were secondary to their ability to entrance by sound. I think the dichotomy between the "good old days" and the "babbling tongues of today" is overstated, and art (of all sorts) has never had - as its primary goal - the tickling of the popular tastes. Such "pandering" to common sense is as apt to create bad art as soaring abstractions and blithering absurdity. The "value" of this or that poem is not necessarily to be discovered in its appeal to a large audience, which is either there or not. Each poet is trying to discover a way towards new sensations, towards stranger beauties. It is hardly surprising that such a quest might lead to "difficulties."

I would say the popular musicians (pop/rock/grunge/rap/all the rest) and maybe even more so the musicians who work in styles that are popular within their own region or ethnic group, have for the most part taken over from those who call themselves poets. Most of it is crap, of course, but most of 19th Century poetry was crap. Only a few of the best or most lucky are remembered.

I think the best of the popular music lyricists are genuine poets who measure up well against previous centuries.

I used to agree with that last paragraph - Dylan being the prime example - but now no longer now what to think. Take away the music, in most cases, and the rhythm disappears. Its a form of poetry that requires a particular performance to be effective, which I don't think _real_ poetry requires. Milton, or Spenser, or Eliot, or Whitman, or anyone you care to name, functions dramatically well without the crutch of music. just a thought. Atorpen
Checked out Zack de la Rocha? Or maybe Maynard James Keenan? -- Sam
Yes, of course I have. But the rhythm comes from the expression, and the way of expression - take away the music, or the form, and its different. And, if it came to it, sorry, but Dylan would be the better poet. Better than rage, certainly. Atorpen 00:31 Feb 11, 2003 (UTC)
I think you're argument is specious. If you read *any* poetry without regard to rhythm or phrasing, you turn it into something less than it's creator intended. Some poetry requires careful attention to rhythm and phrasing, and some doesn't. Would you try to argue that Virgillian epic isn't poetry, because it isn't made for oral consumption? Similarly, I can't see how poetry constructed for music ceases to be poetry when excised from it's habitat. Interesting stuff to study in this respect is Hamish Henderson's work in the folk vein - quite definitely poetry, sung or not. -- Calum

Redirect

I've just redirected poem here, because I couldn't think of a way the two could avoid duplicating each other in large part (poem was only a stub in any case). Poem had an interlanguage link to the Dutch 'pedia's article on "Gedicht" - I don't know if putting it here is the best match, or if there's a Dutch article on "poetry" rather than "poem". Somebody might want to check that. --Camembert

---

I disagree

"Prose is more likely to be written spontaneously than poetry, which tends to be composed with care over a period of time." (Quote from article)

I diasagree very strongly with this. Of course a poem is worked on, but so is prose. But without some spontaneous start there is probably no poem. You can sit down and write prose to order but with poetry this is harder. BevRowe

I disagreed with it very strongly in an earlier edit when it suggested that poetry was always more considered than prose, and that poetry couldn't be spontaneously composed at all. That's why I toned it down a bit, though I still share your concerns about it. If you want to change the sentence, or take it out altogether, then go ahead - I for one won't object. --Camembert
I also disagree with the statement -- if it's still there I'll change it. -- Sam

---

" Poetry is as old as human speech" (Quote from article)

What possible evidence is there for this? I think an enclopedia is not the place for such unsubstantiated opinions.BevRowe

I guess it depends on how one defines poetry as much as anything else. As I said in an edit summary, this articles needs a lot of work. --Camembert

Mishmash

The list under "meters" is a horrid mishmash of foot type and line type. The entry "Iambic pentameter" should refer to "iambs". Don't we need separate lists? BevRowe

Agreed. Go for it! Atorpen 01:09 Feb 22, 2003 (UTC)
I've made a start. BevRowe

Word Choice

The mention of poetry as necessitating "word choice" and the article in general does not acknowledge the existence of automatic poetry. --Daniel C. Boyer

I've inserted the work "usually" into the first paragraph (I think that's right - automatic poetry is the exception rather than the rule, after all). As I've said before, the article needs work in general, but it's a tricky task. --Camembert
O.k.; good. --Daniel C. Boyer

Definition of Poetry

As some of you may be aware, there are two "camps" with regards to the definition of poetry. What has been discussed here is mainly the "loose" definition. The loose definition, as far as I can tell, defines poetry as anything not prose. The "strict" definition, which held the majority of public opinion until the late 1800s and early 1900s, is that prose is all that is not poetry. Poetry, under the strict definition, is a purely verbal medium, using metre and possibly other types of sub-structure, such as rhyme, alliteration, etc. Sehrgut


The first sentence of this article is very poor, and problematic; the defintion of poetry is more complex and contested, and the article should reflect this more thoroughly

As I've said several times before, this does indeed need a good deal of work. Feel free to improve it as you see fit - it won't get any better unless somebody does the required work. --Camembert

Should the article divided into Arabic poetry, Chinese poetry, European poetry, Japanese poetry, etc? Messing up the Japanese poetry with European poetry as in current setting seems not a good idea. --Wshun

An Overhaul in Progress

I've rewritten the first paragraph as an attempt at clarifying what it is that distinguishes poetry from other forms of writing. Please feel free to edit further. --Filiocht

The statement that, to quote the article: 'Today, English writers of poetry seldom use rhyme as this to the English ear often signifies humor.' is, I think, very contentious. Would you say that rhyme as used by Heaney or the new American formalist poets is humorous? I may attempt to rewrite the paragraph on rhyme if time allows. Filiocht 13:45, 5 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Actually did a major rewrite but forgot to log in first, so 193.138.111.250 is me. Filiocht 09:04, 6 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Have rationalized the lists of links at the bottom to a) remove redundant repeats and b) try to make the groupings more coherent. Any comments? Filiocht 11:56, 6 Nov 2003 (UTC)

And added a section on Form. Filiocht 13:06, 7 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Moving here from article

This text was added by User:Mrs.Medha I have moved it here because I think it needs more work. I have also left a note on her talk page.

Poetry is bunch of sequential words which takes birth out of a typical state of mind of a poet mostly in tranquility. It's storm with roar of wind which bursts out of poet's brain just like child takes birth on mother earth.
It may be outcome of peaceful thoughts,purposeful/occasional thoughts(like creations of lyrics for cinemas),provoking thoughts, patriotic thoughts,idealistic thoughts,love thoughts or any of other types of emotional thoughts.

Poetry "series"

What's the categorization scheme of these series? It certainly doesn't include poetry from all the major countries and cultures in the world. It's also a bad idea to leave self links and to link to the middle of an article. The section links should only be done within an article. --Jiang 17:38, 21 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I agree with Jiang. Perhaps it should be made into multiple series. I know linking to section headers from external articles is frowned upon, though I don't mind it -- might be better in any case to move those lists to their own articles, thus removing any need to link to a section header.

Some thoughts on organizing:

  • Would it make sense to make a series for each region (e.g. Eastern European poetry vs. Western European poetry vs. East Asian poetry)? Poetry could then link to pages describing each of these broad regions and including the series table for the individual countries (I know the current state of information may make this unusable -- is it good in theory?)
  • If so, Poetry could contain links to the sub-series on the cultural regions of poetry articles, as well as links to parent articles for sub-series on verse forms and movements.

As people write the articles, I'll add them. I can't do it all and time spent talking here would be better spent on the missing nations. I'm currently working i=on improving English poetry. Frankly, working on poetry here is a lonely business. Most of the pages I've created have nothing on the talk pages that I didn't put there. Filiocht 09:50, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Tuf-Kat

I've made some changes. Of course the number of national poetries that are included will grow as the articles are written, but you have to start somewhere. Filiocht 11:18, 22 Jan 2004 (UTC)

(from wikipedia talk:article series) "National poetries" simply links to [[poetry]]. Then we have "poetry" listed in the middle of the table. Having two links to the same place in one table is just plain confusing. And why at the middle and not the top? Why at all? Shouldint the series contain articles of the same specificity? The general topic belongs on top.

When making such a "series", one should anticipate all the items that should be included. It is fine to leave red links in the table. But if we were to do this for the poetry "series" (by adding all the countries in the world), we would have an entire column of red links, likely significantly longer than the article itself. I think the "National poetries" series as it is, is a net loss. --Jiang 00:26, 23 Jan 2004 (UTC)

A series table for so many items not closely related should not be made. Instead, create a list of national poetries and link it to every "national poetry" article.--Jiang 19:03, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Again, it's innappropriate to links "poetry" in the table when it is not a "national poetry". The list is too ambitious and should not be done at all. Doing the same for all the countries of the world (i.e., a "countries of the world" series) would be equally absurd.--Jiang 19:21, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Layout

Uhm, please, do you really need to make the terms (chapter 6) in tables instead of just writing them the normal way? Imagine a smaller monitor, or something. This doesn't seem right, as it puts form over function. Just my 2 cents --denny vrandečić 16:23, Feb 23, 2004 (UTC)


Far and away the most impressive entry I've seen yet on Wikipedia.

Poetry and Rhetorics

It does seem to state the facts a bit backwards to call poetic devices rhetorical devices when rhetorics may just as well have taken them from poetry. This also presents these poetic devices as something of a cheap way to direct the reader, as rhetorics have the connotation of sneakily influencing people to the advantace of the rhetorician. Maybe something should be said about Figures of speech and symbolism.

verse form versus rhyme scheme

I'm getting a little flummoxed by these two categories. A lot of the things under verse form are basically just rhyme schemes, while rhyme scheme is listed under technical means and has a whole article also listing rhyme schemes. I'm inclined to just throw the remaining rhyme schemes (e.g. spenserian stanza) into the verse form section since we're almost there anyway. Alternatively we could try to purge the verse form section of "forms" that have no significance other than prescribing a rhyme scheme (e.g. rhyme royale). Thoughts? --Chinasaur 03:30, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Verse form also includes rhythm. Filiocht 08:22, Feb 8, 2005 (UTC)

Another "what is poetry?" question

Alright, so, if someone were to write a work of prose which was very concerned with the aesthetic quality of the writing itself, to the extent that he/she had to make sure that each sentence "flowed" correctly, that each word was the best possible word for its particular meaning and placement (paying close attention to connotations as well as definitions), and imposed other such stylistic requirements on his/her writing -- what would keep the individual from claiming to have written "free-verse prose-poetry", or something like that? I mean, what might distinguish stylized prose from something as potentially ambiguous as free-verse prose-poetry or some other seemingly ambiguous and informal variety of "poetry"? This question is especially important if poetry is defined loosely as anything that is not prose -- since in this case, the definition of prose itself is in question. --Corvun 13:50, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

If you read the article closely, I feel that this prose/poetry question has been fairly well addressed. Filiocht 14:58, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)
"Poetry can be differentiated most of the time from prose, which is language meant to convey meaning in a more expansive and less condensed way, frequently using more complete logical or narrative structures than poetry does. This does not necessarily imply that poetry is illogical, but rather that poetry is often created from the need to escape the logical. A further complication is that prose poetry combines the characteristics of poetry with the superficial appearance of prose. And there is, of course, narrative poetry, not to mention dramatic poetry, both of which are used to tell stories and so resemble novels and plays. However, both these forms of poetry use the specific features of verse composition to make these stories more memorable or to enhance them in some way."
So, what if the work of prose, with the various stylistic requirements imposed on it by its author, were a work of fantasy fiction? This paragraph implies that one could distinquish between prose and narrative poetry by the use of a verse structure. So is the King James Bible narrative free-verse poetry or prose? And what would distinguish the "narrative free-verse prose-poetry" in the hypothetical work I spoke of above from a stylized prose? Would "narrative free-verse prose-poetry" effectively be prose? Or would this simply be a case nested firmly in the blurry line between the two? --Corvun 22:41, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Ambiguous sentence

Can "As" be changed to "Because" in this sentence?

"As it is created using language, poetry tends to use formal linguistic units like phrases, sentences and paragraphs." Maurreen 05:41, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I think so. -- Sundar 05:46, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)

Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems self-evident. Can the sentence be struck? Maurreen 06:15, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I wouldn't really say it's self-evident. Concrete poetry, from what I've seen, doesn't use much in the way of phrases, sentences, or paragraphs. The majority of poetry I've seen, aside from prose poetry, uses mainly verses and stanzas rather than sentences and paragraphs. Don't get me wrong, I'm well aware that there are extensive exceptions to this, but I'm pretty sure at least a little more than half the poetry out there uses linquistic structures that differ (albeit not very greatly) from the sentences and paragraphs associated with prose. We should also take into account that there's even some poetry out there that looks something like:
The purple crocodile shirts fink monkey,
Nine chicken honk honk pudding pop,
Glug cups gilded fraught Mickey Mouse,
Die twenty bock bock bock bock bock.
It seems to me that just as modern "art" (if you can even call it that) has abandoned realism in favor of dots and splashes of paint, claiming some ludicrous sort of "symbolism", a lot of modern poetry is relieving itself of the confines of anything resembling the actual use of language in favor of gibberish. The hypothetical example I typed just now would probably be judged by critics to be some sort of amazing allegory for the anxieties of Generation X's struggle with the negative vegan stereotypes portrayed in media and the loss of cultural innocense, or some other such nonsense.
But I've completely gotten off my point, which is that poetry doesn't always follow the rules of language. Not since prose encroached on and supplanted poetry as the standard form of narrative in subjects like history, religion, and fiction, necessitating the expansion of poetry into new territory.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about any of this. --Corvun 07:05, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
I think you are right, but maybe for the wrong reasons. Many avant garde poetic movements, say the Language poets, have specifically targeted the sentence as representing a kind of tyrany. For others, like Charles Olson, the line was the basic unit of poetry, not the sentence. Even in more conventional poetry, the stanza or couplet served this role. Any of these units may or may not equate to prose sentences or paragraphs. Also, many potes use punctuation to indicate pauses rather than grammatical units. And as for e.e. cummings! Filiocht 08:35, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)

OK, it seems like it needs some improvement, one way or another. Continued below. Maurreen 17:39, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Poetry and form

I'm thinking the following should be changed:

"As it is created using language, poetry tends to use formal linguistic units like phrases, sentences and paragraphs. In addition, it uses units of organisation that are purely poetic. The main units that are used are the line, the couplet, the strophe, the stanza, and the verse paragraph."

Here's a draft:

"Compared with prose, poetry depends less on the linguistic units of sentences and paragraphs, and more on units of organisation that are purely poetic. The typical structural elements are the line, couplet, strophe, stanza, and verse paragraph." Maurreen 17:39, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Poems, lyrics and songs

What's the difference between a poem, a lyric and a song OR what's the difference between a poet, lyricist and songwriter ? I understand that lyrics and songs are meant to be sung. Can a poem be written with the same purpose ? Jay 19:46, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Here's the answer from Wikipedia:Reference desk/Language. Jay 10:47, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

  • A song is words plus music. The lyrics are the words. Sometimes lyrics are poems. Sometimes not. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 21:29, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Isn't it technically true that the correct word is "lyric"? A "lyric" is all the words of a song, correct? Zoe 22:06, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
      • All the words of a song can be correctly referred to either as "the lyric" or as "the lyrics" - at least, so Merriam-Webster's 11th says. I think the plural form is slightly more common. - Nunh-huh 22:17, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
        • Oh, sure, it's most common, I didn't realize that both were correct. Zoe 22:50, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
          • It may be one of those niceties that's disappeared through misuse and therefore become acceptable. I'm saving my powder for "hopefully".... :) - Nunh-huh 22:55, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
            • How about "I could care less"? Zoe 04:57, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Would music here include the tune ? If a song is sung to a tune but with no accompanying music, would it still be a song ? How does this compare to a poem that is recited ? Aren't most poem recitations done in a singsong way ? Jay 17:36, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
    • A tune is music; singing is applying music (a tune) to something. Whether the music is with voice or instruments doesn't matter, it's still music. So, if it's sung, it's automatically musical. As for poetry recitations-- I dare say that it's sad but true that many recitations are done in a nearly singsong way, but a well-read poem usually sounds like natural language. Poets and lyricists do very similar things, although a lyricist might be more likely to write words to fit an existing tune or with the intention of having a tune put to them. I always think of a songwriter as one who writes both words and music, but Encarta defines lyricist as "1. songwriter: a writer of words for songs, especially popular songs, 2. lyric poet: a writer of lyric poems". Elf | Talk 21:46, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

One way of thinking about it is Does this text stand up as a work of literature/art/whatever without the music? To take two outstanding examples, IMHO Like a Rolling Stone needs the music, but setting the Lyrical Ballads to music would only provide a distraction from the text. The former is, by this reasoning, a song, while the latter is a collection of lyric poems. Filiocht | Talk 11:07, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Moving some POV text to talk

Love poems proliferate now, in weblogs and personal pages, as a new way of expression and liberty of hearts, "I have won many female relations with this valid resource", has said a contemporaneus writer called Federic P. Sabeloteur.

Not sure that this is neutral POV or adds a great deal to a general overview of poetry. Smerdis of Tlön 16:38, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

It seems to have served to give Federic P. Sabeloteur his only Google hits. Good spot, Ihcoyc. Filiocht | The kettle's on 07:24, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Merge from List of verse forms

List of verse forms now lists something not clearly defined and rather neglected, overlapping with lists in the Poetry article. What the heck is "verse form"? It redirects to Poetry, which does not define it. mikka (t) 23:48, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

I removed the request and merged them. Iago Dali 00:44, 21 October 2005 (UTC)


External Links need trimming?

I just noticed the following link added:

  1. Scriberazone Ezine of contemporary poetry from around the world - submissions welcome.

Along with some other links, this made me think we need to trim the external links -- wikipedia is not a web directory. I'm not sure what the basis for cutting should be... it looks like many/most of the links could be cut as self-promotion/web-directory-ification of a wikipedia article. Do others disagree or should we start cutting? Tom

I agree, and wd have done so before- but people get touchy. I just removed all those with blatant calls for submissions, and commercial sites, as well as minor ethnic poem sites. The rest of the sites I Googled, and are either major orgs, or highly referenced sites on Google, with classic poems, and or essays on verse- i.e.- educational value. Also put in alpha order. Iago Dali 19:26, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Sandberg quote?

What is that quote trying to say? If we want a cute definition of poetry, there are much better quotes to be had. I'm going to remove it unless someone objects.
