Ars Poetica
A poem should be palpable and mute1

A poem should be wordless
As a flight of birds.

A poem should be motionless in time
As the moon climbs,
As the moon climbs,
Leaving, as the moon releases
Twig by twig the night-entangled trees,
Twig by twig the night-entangled trees,
Leaving, as the moon behind the winter leaves,
Memory by memory the mind—
Memory by memory the mind—
A poem should be equal to:
Not true.
For all the history of grief

The leaning grasses and the two lights above the sea—
The leaning grasses and the two lights above the sea—
A poem should not mean
But be.
But be.
*motionless:
If a poem has universality and
timelessness, it can move from one moment to the next, or from one age to
another, while its relevance remains fixed ("motionless"). Thus, like
the moon traveling across the sky, a good poem seems to stand still at any
given moment—as if it were meant for that moment.

u To be or not
to be
"To
be or not to be..." is the opening phrase of a soliloquy in the "Nunnery Scene" of William Shakespeare's play Hamlet.
In the
speech, a despondent or feigning Prince Hamlet contemplates death and suicide. He bemoans the pains and unfairness of life but
acknowledges the alternative might be still worse. The speech functions within
the play to explain Hamlet's hesitation to directly and immediately avenge his father's murder (discovered in Act I) on his uncle, stepfather,
and new king Claudius.

u Iambic pentameter –is a
commonly used type of metrical
line in traditional verse and verse
drama.The term describes the rhythm that the words establish in
that line, which is measured in small groups of syllables called "feet". The word
"iambic" describes the type of foot that is used (in English, an
unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable). The word
"pentameter" indicates that a line has five of these
"feet".
When a pair of syllables is arranged as a short
followed by a long, or an unstressed followed by a stressed, pattern, that foot
is said to be "iambic".
An iambic pentameter is a line made up of
five such pairs of short/long, or unstressed/stressed, syllables.

Foot- the basic unit of poetic meter,
consisting of any of various fixed patterns of one to three stressed and
unstressed syllables. A foot may contain more than one word or just one
syllable of a multisyllabic word.
·
Iambic-
referring to a metrical form
in which each foot consists of an unstressed syllable
followed by a stressed one; this type of foot is
an iamb. The most common poetic meter in English is iambic
pentameter—a metrical form in which most lines consist of five
iambs.
·
Sestet- six lines of
verse linked by a pattern of rhyme, as in the last six lines of the Italian, or
Petrarchan, sonnet.
Sest- 6

Sonnet-
a fixed verse form
consisting of fourteen lines usually in iambic pentameter. An Italian
sonnet consists of eight rhyme linked lines (an octave) plus six rhyme
linked lines (a sestet), often with either an abbaabba cdecde or abbacddc defdef rhyme
scheme. This type of sonnet is also called the Petrarchan sonnet in
honor of the Italian poet Petrarch (1304– 74). An English or Shakespearean
sonnet instead consists of three quatrains (four- line units) and a
couplet and often rhymes abab cdcd efef gg.
1. Its origins lie in the Middle Ages, in Italian and
French poetry.
2. The two most popular varieties in English are called
the Shakespearean (three quatrains and a final couplet) and Petrarchan (one
octave and one sestet) sonnets.
3. Though most sonnets exhibit a strict rhyme scheme
and iambic pentameter, the only absolute rule is that sonnets have fourteen
lines.
·
Simile- a figure of speech involving a direct, explicit comparison of one thing to
another, usually using the words like or as to
draw the connection, as in "My love is like a red, red rose."
An analogy is an extended simile.
·
Personification- a figure of speech that involves treating something nonhuman, such as an
abstraction, as if it were a person by endowing it with humanlike qualities, as
in "Death entered the room."
·
Allegory- a literary work, whether in verse or prose, in which characters, action,
and even aspects of setting signify (or serve as symbols for) a second,
correlated order of concepts, persons, and actions. One of the most famous
English-language allegories is John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress.
·
Allusion- a brief,
often implicit and indirect reference within a literary text to something
outside the text, whether another text (e.g., the Bible, a myth, another
literary work, a painting, or a piece of music) or any imaginary or historical person,
place, or thing.
·
Diction- choice of words. Diction is often described as either informal or colloquial if
it resembles everyday speech, or as formal if it is instead
lofty, impersonal, and dignified. Tone is determined largely through diction.

I, too, dislike it: there are
things that are important beyond all this fiddle.
Reading it, however, with a perfect contempt for it, one discovers that there is in
it after all, a place for the genuine.

Shall I /compare/ thee to/ a sum/mer’s day? a
Thou art more lovely and more temperate. b
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, a
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date. b
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, c
And often is his gold complexion dimmed; d
And every fair from fair sometime declines, c
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimmed. d
But thy eternal summer shall not fade, e
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st, f
Nor shall Death brag thou wand’rest in his shade, e
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st. f
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, g
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. g
Thou art more lovely and more temperate. b
