ENGLISH LITERATURE (CBSE/UGC NET)

Detailed explanation-1: -Poetry, often described as the most condensed form of literature, involves the use of imageries, sounds and forms to create beauty, express emotions and illuminate thoughts. Poetry has to do with the use of language in a deeply creative and imaginative manner, and not necessarily the singular use of verse.

Detailed explanation-2: -One of the best sources of inspiration for poetry is other poems. Grab a few poetry books or check out poems for children from Poets.org or Poetry Foundation. Then, take your favorite phrase or line from the poem and use that as the beginning or inspiration for your own poem.

Detailed explanation-3: -A common type of nature poetry is the haiku. This type of poem is very short, and it usually focuses on some sort of natural element, such as animals, plants, the seasons, and so on.

Detailed explanation-4: -Wendell Berry provides a simple useful definition of nature poetry as poetry that “considers nature as subject matter and inspiration.” Our concepts of nature are relative, historically determined. The nature poem is affected by ideology, by literary conventions as well as social and cultural ideas.
