Poetry is the kind of thing poets write. — Robert Frost
Man, if you gotta ask, you’ll never know. — Louis Armstrong
A POET IS LIMITED in the materials he can use in creating his works: all he has are words to express
his ideas and feelings. These words need to be precisely right on several levels at once:
• they must sound right to the listener even as they delight his ear
• they must have a meaning which might have been unanticipated, but seems to be
the perfectly right one
• they must be arranged in a relationship and placed on the page in ways that are
at once easy to follow and assist the reader in understanding
• they must probe the depths of human thought, emotion, and empathy, while
appearing simple, self-contained, and unpretentious
Fortunately, the English language contains a wide range of words from which to choose for almost
every thought, and there are also numerous plans or methods of arrangement of these words, called
poetic devices, which can assist the writer in developing cogent expressions pleasing to his readers.
Even though most poetry today is read silently, it must still carry with it the feeling of being spoken
aloud, and the reader should practice “hearing” it in order to catch all of the artfulness with which
the poet has created his work.
