How poetry relates to our lives (Part 2)

Poetry is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language—such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre—to 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.

The excellence and the beauty of any poetry may be appraised on the basis of its distinctive qualities by which it gives us the pleasure of reading and enjoyment while it is a god source of delighting us.This is the uniqueness of the art of poetry that it not only lets the reader enjoy but also inspires him to know the realities of life. It is one of the best qualities of a poet to put aesthetic qualities, poetical images and the ideas in the poems and to make the reader familiar with the information relating to the various aspects of lives of the individuals.

Hardly might there be a subject or a topic that may have been left untouched by the art of poetry. In fact, most of them have been so artistically and beautifully written and presented that one cannot help appreciating while recognizing the value of poetry.
