my experience abut poetry which i wanted to share with my people 0n steemian

Poetry refers in totality to the deployment 0f certain devices such as figures of speech, feeling [emotion], rhyme and rhythm, stanzaic divisions, metre, subject matter in a body of word in order to express on idea or one’s impression in a way that what it says attracts attention to itself because no one may have said it in that matter before. Often times, the ideas are juggled, words change their usual habitats and meaning is largely derived in a suggestive way.

                  I highlighted four kind 0f poetry in my own understanding 

1 song or song-lyrics
These are poem which have been set to music. William blake (1757)wrote ‘’song of innocence and song of experience.

2 narrative poem
It is a poem that tells a tale. Example are john milton‘s paradise lost(1667)e.t.c

3 pastoral poem
It is a poem which describes the simple life of rural people, especially of shepherds, around whom are beauty, love, music and values which remain forever green in the mind. This is opposed to city life with its hustle and bustle, as well as artificial lifestyle in which ancient values are no longer respected. A pastoral poem may also be called an eclogue; a bucolic or an idyll. An example is w.b yeats ‘ lake isle of inn is free(1892).

4 sonnet
A sonnet is a fourteen-line poem whose rhythmic pattern is lambic pentameter. That is each line of fourteen lines bears five alternating bests of an unstressed syllable followed immediately by a stressed one. William Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnet , among which ‘is shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?(1906)in more recent time.
