Poetry

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
— W. H. Auden

Poetry is a literary form that uses aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language—such as meter, sound symbolism, and metaphor—to evoke meanings and emotions beyond ordinary prose. Throughout history, poetry has appeared in various cultures, often reflecting themes like love, nature, and human experience. Major poetic structures include sonnets, haikus, and free verse. Renowned poets include Homer, Shakespeare, Rumi, and Emily Dickinson. Poetry is traditionally recited or written, sometimes accompanied by music. Its expressive versatility makes it a vital component of world literature. Learn more: Poetry - Wikipedia
