POEM : AN ART WITHOUT DRAWING

 

Poem is a form of writing that uses not only words, but also form patterns of sound, imagery and figurative language to convey the message. In general, poem deals with particular things in concrete language, since our emotion most readily response to these things . From the poem's particular situation ,the reader may then generalise; the generalities arise by implication from the particular . In other words , a poem is  most often concrete and particular; the "message" , if there is any , is general and abstract; it is implied by the image. Images , in turn , suggest meanings beyond the mere identity  of the specific object. Poem 'plays ' with meaning when it identifies resemblances or makes comparisons between things .
