15784. THEORIES OF POETRY. This essay explores the nature and meaning of poetry and of human aesthetic expression in general. Following an overview of existing theories of poetry (looking at the ideas of Wordsworth and Coleridge), the foundation for the analysis is an examination of Justus Buchler's theoretical perspective and critical writings of Martha Nussbaum and then an application of these ideas to Matthew Lipman's Suki. Written 2002. 21 pages, 31 footnotes, 8 bibliographic sources.

Shakespeare is the most notable practitioner of blank verse as a dramatic form, and his plays are, in fact, written predominantly, though not entirely, in blank verse. Even in the twentieth century T. S. Eliot and Maxwell Anderson used blank verse as a vehicle for staged drama, though by that time their efforts were self-consciously anachronistic. \n\n\nBlank verse has also been a favored form for reflective and narrative poems. The stately, majestic cadences of John Milton’s religious epic “Paradise Lost” demonstrate the extraordinary incantatory power of that pattern maintained over long stretches of poetry. Take, for example, the single long sentence that constitutes the first sixteen lines of the “Invocation” to Book I of “Paradise Lost”: \n\n\nOf man’s first disobedience, and the fruit \n\nOf that forbidden tree whose mortal taste \n\nBrought death into the world, and all our woe, \n\nWith loss of Eden, till one greater Man \n\nRestore us and regain the blissful seat, \n\nSing, Heavenly Muse, that, on the secret top \n\nOf Oreb, or of Sinai, didst inspire \n\nThat shepherd who first taught the chosen seed \n\nIn the beginning how the Heavens and Earth \n\nRose out of Chaos: or, if Sion hill \n\nDelight thee more, and Siloa’s brook that flowed \n\nFast by the oracle of God, I thence \n\nInvoke thy aid to my adventurous song, \n\nThat with no middle flight intends to soar \n\nAbove th’ Aonian mount, while it pursues \n\nThings unattempted yet in prose or rhyme. \n\n\nMilton himself likened blank verse to the unrhymed verse of “Homer in Greek, and of Virgil in Latin” and called it “English heroic verse without rhyme.” He considered rhyme “no necessary adjunct or true ornament of poem or good verse, in longer works especially, but the invention of a barbarous age, to set off wretched matter and lame meter. . . .” Milton defended his choice of blank verse for his epic as no defect, “though it may seem so perhaps to vulgar readers,” but rather an “[esteemed] example set, the first in English, of an ancient liberty recovered to heroic poem from the troublesome modern bondage of rhyming” (John Milton, “The Verse,” preface to “Paradise Lost).

He is talking about the truest form of love, the union between two souls, spiritual union.  Check out the website I've attached.  It will take you through the poem line by line, explaining it.\n\nGood luck with it.  I've always found John Donne's poetry a bit heavy for me.

It depends. Some poems do, others don't, and in some it's debatable.\n\nPoetry is a highly fluid art form and as such can be expressed in numerous ways.\n\nSome modern types of poetry are extremely similar to prose and as such will have narrative structure.\n\nEpic poetry is a great example of poetry which has narration of an event inherent within it's structure.

For most poems, any format works. Lets hear it for poetic liscense!\nFor easy readability, put quotes around words being said. You can also put one speaker in one font and the other in another, or by making one speaker right aligned and one left aligned if you have a word processor.

Poetry that doesn't necessarily rhyme is called prose poetry.  \n\nDo a search on Pablo Neruda and you'll see some very fine examples.\n\nEnjoy

Remember, poems are word images that express feelings. Ask yourself a question about the images in the poem, or the feelings it gives you. Then restate your question as a statement.\n\nExample:\nWhy did Frost select the birch tree to talk about?\n\nNow review the poem, look for answers, and make a statement about the question. There's a thesis right there.

I write poems do to how enigmatic my emotions, and my mind is, it's so complex, and I write poems to express my feelings( when I write poems.)\n\n\nThe force of the tranquil ocean\nCalms all but one\nThese elements create a potion\nGelid harsh coldness surrounds us\nEarth relentlessly hardens\nThe only escape is on my bus....\n\n\n\nThat poem expresses many things, and has many double meanings, see if you can find them, I even made some rhymes.
