wst-header-notes-content wst-unknown-notes-content"> <p>Poetry is traditionally a written <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/art" class="extiw" title="w:art">art</a> form (although there is also an ancient and modern poetry which relies mainly upon oral or pictorial representations) in which human <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/language" class="extiw" title="w:language">language</a> is used for its <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/aesthetics" class="extiw" title="w:aesthetics">aesthetic</a> qualities in addition to, or instead of, its <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/meaning" class="extiw" title="w:meaning">notional</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/semantics" class="extiw" title="w:semantics">semantic</a> content. The increased emphasis on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/aesthetics" class="extiw" title="w:aesthetics">aesthetics</a> of language and the deliberate use of features such as repetition, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/meter_(poetry)" class="extiw" title="w:meter (poetry)">meter</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/rhyme" class="extiw" title="w:rhyme">rhyme</a>, are what are commonly used to distinguish poetry from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/prose" class="extiw" title="w:prose">prose</a>. </p><p>Poetry may use condensed form to convey an emotion or idea to the reader or listener, or it may use devices such as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/assonance" class="extiw" title="w:assonance">assonance</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/alliteration" class="extiw" title="w:alliteration">alliteration</a> and repetition to achieve <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/music" class="extiw" title="w:music">musical</a> or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/incantation" class="extiw" title="w:incantation">incantatory</a> effects. Furthermore, poems often make heavy use of imagery, word association, and musical qualities. Because of its reliance on "accidental" features of language and connotational meaning, poetry is notoriously difficult to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation" class="extiw" title="w:Translation">translate</a>. Similarly, poetry's use of nuance and symbolism can make it difficult to interpret a poem or can leave a poem open to multiple interpretations. Thus, there can rarely be a single definitive interpretation of a given poem. In fact perhaps a better definition is Carl Sandburg's: "Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits." </p> </div></div></div> <div style="float:right; width:100%"> <style
