"Quatrain on Heavenly Mountain" by Emperor Gaozong (Song Dynasty)]]Poetry
(from the Greek "", poiesis, a "making" or "creating") is a form of art in
which language is used for its aesthetic and evocative qualities in
addition to, or in lieu of, its ostensible meaning. Poetry may be written
independently, as discrete poems, or may occur in conjunction with other
arts, as in poetic drama, hymns or lyrics.
Poetry, and discussions of it, have a long history. Early attempts to
define poetry, such as Aristotle's Poetics, focused on the uses of speech
in rhetoric, drama, song and comedy.Heath, Malcolm (ed). Aristotle's
Poetics. London, England: Penguin Books, (1997), ISBN 0140446362. Later
attempts concentrated on features such as repetition and rhyme, and
emphasised the aesthetics which distinguish poetry from prose.See, for
example, Immanauel Kant (J.H. Bernhard, Trans). Critique of Judgment. Dover
