3. How to analyze poetry?
Aside from the basic demand that poetry says something, poetry is characterized by the following elements: 1) a musical effect created by rhythm and sound; 2) a precise and fresh imagery; 3) multiple levels of interpretations suggested by the connotations of the words and by allusions.
2. Definition of poetry
Poetry is a literary genre that communicates experience in the most condensed form. Poetry is a multidimensional language: an intellectual dimension, an emotional d, a sensuous d, and an imaginative d. These dimensions work together to pass experience to the reader. Poetry tries to say the most in the fewest possible words. Poetry begins in delight, and ends in wisdom. — Robert Frost He who draws noble delights from the sentiments of poetry is a true poet, though he has never written a line in all his life. — George Sand
