What makes a poem … a poem? - Melissa Kovacs

View full lesson: ed.ted.com/lessons/what-makes-...
What exactly makes a poem … a poem? Poets themselves have struggled with this question, often using metaphors to approximate a definition. Is a poem a little machine? A firework? An echo? A dream? Melissa Kovacs shares three recognizable characteristics of most poetry.

    I've written hundreds of poems. I can't even count them. Always writing more. It's my great passion. I love reading others' poems too. My great fear is that I'll never be able to share them with an audience, stuck forever in my seclusion, obscure and hidden. Or worse, I will find a way to put it all out there only to be disregarded, rejected, or ridiculed.

    This is why I don't completely understand people who think music lyrics or short poems on instagram aren't poetry. To me, it feels like it's everywhere, and can be made by anyone in anyway about anything. There aren't really any rules, which, I think, is what makes poetry its own unique thing.

    @@mobassirahmedhemel4736 It's already changing to an extent now. If you give ChatGPT reasonably detailed instructions it can produce what some may call good poetry. The following poem was written by a machine: The sky, once bright and clear and blue, Is now a thing we scarcely knew. For every night, in every town, Electric light shines all around. The stars, once twinkling in the night, Are now a fading, distant sight. The moon, so full and round and fair, Is hidden by the electric glare. The sky is not the same as before, A thing we loved and longed for. It's hard to feel that sense of awe When we can't see the sky at all. Oh, how we long to see the stars, To watch the moon and feel its charms. But now it seems that all is lost, Our sky, a thing of the past. So let us mourn the passing years, And all the beauty that disappears. For though the sky may be concealed, It's still a thing we long to feel. Fairly unpolished, sure, but not half-bad. And the technology is only due to get better from here.

    The very form of poetry lends itself to being more than the literal words on a page. Why when you have so few, would you choose those words? And why would you say that they are a poem? Unless it is a statement about breaking perceptions of poetry, transcending poetry, and how everything is the interpretation of the reader, which only creates a cult of personality around the author themselves, and will therefore not allow a poem to exist free from the other poems by the author, and from the authors life

    “Cross It All Out” Writing poetry is cake You can bake in one take It’s just a mild chore To make metaphors And little difficulty To toss in some simile It’s easy as pie Like a stoner getting high To write like a Keats Or a Poe or a Yeats Then cross out two-thirds But just the wrong words That's all that it takes If you mind your line breaks And create clever consonance When considering your consonants Then there's the ending

    This is one of the poem on rain and a conversation with the earthly man…. And here is the poem- *Address to the Rain God* I sat gravely before the window, watching the dark that laid before me profoundly thinking for a moment or so, about the Showery world that I could see. And up the heaven, I looked henceforth Towards the paradise, till the eye's sought 'What makes him rain such?' 'Brutish he is' is what I thought. Above the world I looked far end And beneath came the God of Rain Thundering the skies and the heart of men stiffening the shower that had went insane. I stood there aquivering with fear for he stood in front of me and asked me for my remembrance knowing well that it is he who caused it. Politely I said with tongue no less, "This world is beautiful with creations unparallel" But the unstoppable rains have made such mess Why don't you stop that you shall! 'It is you the humans', replied he 'who pray for rain' The rain that quenches the Earth's thirst Deepening the swift streams that long last And then calling for it to return to the den. And Oh! the inner me felt deafeated But I stood there losing no faith But that was prime, this is subordinate "Has the thirst, vanished not yet!" The rain has caused havoc on crust The temporary world is biting the dust Fields overflowed by the tyrant rain 'Floods and rain', are they same? The king of splashes was pleased with me, At least what I thought from what I saw And replied with a strong voice With the winds added to his draw. Glad are you, jolly are all, Happy are you when the rains do fall. Irrigating the fields," the mother earth weeps For the joy, that water beneath seeps. The joy lasts shorter do remember, For nothing lasts Forever and sorrow after joy is a chain of cycle Each in it's time is completely great So he told and so he went Leaving an impression that long lasted Shaken was I and ended up in faint Oh the conversation was just what I dreamt. The story still doesn't end here and I ain't, For it teaches that nothing is permanent. Time heals everything, just wait for the day For joy and sorrow both are great. Joy comes after Sorrow, misery after happiness Just don't look behind the eternal fence. Life is not a bed of thorns, wise men say, For a man on alms is a king next day And here is the link kzread.info/dash/bejne/nYh2t62Ff8TZops.html

    Very much enjoyed your discussion. I, too, am a poet but specialize in Japanese forms: i. e. haiku, tanka, haibun, kyoka, senryu. I hope you don’t mind me sharing a tanka and my haiku tribute poem to Matsuo Bashō’s frog with commentary by the late AHA founder and poet Jane Reichhold who considered my poem among her top 10 haiku of all time. What an honor. Here’s the Bashō poem and commentary: Bashō’s frog four hundred years of ripples - -Al Fogel “At first the idea of picking only 10 of my favorite haiku seemed a rather daunting task. How could I review all the haiku I have read in my life and decide that there were only 10 that were outstanding? Then realized I was already getting a steady stream of excellent haiku day by day through the AHA forum. The puns and write-offs based on Basho's most famous haiku are so numerous I would have said that nothing new could be said with this method, but here Al Fogel proved me wrong. Perhaps part of my delight in this haiku lies in the fact that I agree with him. Here he is saying one thing about realism-ripples are on a pond after a frog jumps in, but because it refers back to Basho and his famous haiku, he is also saying something about the haiku and authors who have followed him. We, and our work, are just ripples while Basho holds the honor of inventing the idea of "the sound of a frog leaping is the sound of water". As haiku spreads around the world, making ripples in more and larger ponds, its ripples are wider-including us all. But his last word reminds us all that we are only ripples and our lives are that ephemeral. It will be the frogs that will remain”. And my tanka: returning home from a Jackson Pollock exhibition I smear my face with paint and turn into art -All love in isolation from Miami Beach, Florida. Al

    Of all the flowers in the land, The rose is queen, so fair and grand. Her petals soft as morning dew, Her colors bright in every hue. The rose is love in flower form, A symbol of emotions warm. Her fragrance sweet, her beauty rare, A treasure beyond all compare. With thorns so sharp and leaves so green, The rose is nature's perfect scene. A sight to see in every season, A symbol of life's endless reason. For in the rose we find a way, To celebrate both night and day. In joy and love and sorrow too, The rose is there, forever true. So let us praise this flower fair, And cherish her with love and care. For in the rose, we find a friend, A beauty that will never end. Written by ChatGPT

    Feeling, emotion, thought, idea and reflection get converted into poetry if one has the instincts to write to add to creatively, if one seeks to sketch and draw. Images, thoughts, ideas, memories, remembrances, scenes and sights give an impetus to write. A poem may be about the tombstone of Yeats with the own epitaph of his. A poem may be about Shakespearean heroines or Shakespearean criticism. A poem may be a tribute to Wordsworth, Milton, Shakespeare, Yeats. A poem may be about Lincoln, Gandhi, Martin Luther King. it may be about book-reading.

Poetry is based most of the time on feelings and they can be so deep that they can touch others, they use vivid images and they are capable to move society.

    I'm kinda glad there's no real definition of a poem. When I read poems from others, it just feels...transcendental in a way? Like it's meaningful somehow. And that makes me want to write my own. I thought I'd have to learn how many syllables must be in one sentence, like haikus, or some other rules. But apparently, poems that break rules are just different poems. That's comforting.

    The poetry I find here is that it has taken 4 years and 2 million views for this video to find me on a night where I struggle with meaning of a beating heart. I think poetry is a like like molecules. It’s everywhere, always. There is great poetry in trying to explain poetry.

    Listen, O stone, to the sound of eternity This is a language that only the silent can understand When the heartbeat of love fell in the hearts of the careless The souls were virgins who did not understand the speech of lovers That lover grew up And her sorrows grew And its strands flew in the gust of gray And melted in the withered fields of oblivion Where are the children's emotions hanging by threads of tenderness and kindness? Are those dreams lost in the basement of the sad night? Or lost the steps of love the way back to the conscience? Calm down, roaring wind! The branches did not commit a sin Don't be crazy Look how the leaves of the tree look at you in deep fear! Come, oh forgotten poets of love, come Return from your old escape, for your wandering is like a blind tormentor The hearts of virgins need touches of love from your soft words. ALI SUROOR DUBAI

    In Arabic , poetry is a way more fascinating subject because in almost all poems must rhyme with the structure composed of lines made of two parallel sentences , the second sentence in all lines must rhyme together and these restrictions ignited creativity in a way that almost all poems parallel sentences takes a symmetrical shape from a rhythmic perspective.

    I was inspired to write this poem Leonora I remember the way The sun lights up your eyes, As we laugh, cry, listen and sigh. Dream under the summer skies. I remember the days We would sing in the wind And dance under the rain. Behold, the rainbow and the rays. The gentle breeze breathes On your hair, And your fair face. Now, I lie in the meadow. Smiling, laughing, Crying and sighing While the flowers say hello. The days are long. In the wind, I am dancing, Singing your favorite song. But I am all alone. You are just another memory. Just another rose. Alas, the white rose is plucked And laid on a stone.

    I find this lesson very intersting as it does not only deals with poems but also art and literature in general... However I would have talked a bit about music as it is, in my opinion, a kind of poetry and peotry is very often linked with music. When I read poems it sometimes fells like I am singins as sounds are very important in poetry. For instance there is a wonderful video (which you can very easily find on youtube...) in which a man reads Allen Ginsberg's Howl, but in addtion, he added jazz music which makes it absolutely wonderful ! :) However a robot is now cappabled to creat music... But I guess that it is for another lesson :)

    Very good. And I'll say this to you: I started off reading this with a halfway done eye roll, but then the swift change in message caught me off guard, and I could feel that silent dispair. I was touched. Bravo. My only critique was the 1st verse. "A silly wave" it's what made me initially biased. But the progression won me over. What's the title? Give it a sign it off with your name. Don't let it get lost in this video. Post it online on medium or some poetry blog.
