| Â | Poetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Poetry was employed as a means of recording oral history, storytelling (epic poetry), genealogy, and law. | | | Poetry often uses condensed form to convey an emotion or idea to the reader or listener, as well as using devices such as assonance, alliteration and repetition to achieve musical or incantatory effects. | | | Poetry (from Ancient Greek: ποιÎω/ποιῶ (poiéo/poió) = I create) is traditionally a written art form (although there is also an ancient and modern poetry which relies mainly upon oral or pictorial representations) in which human language is used for its aesthetic qualities in addition to, or instead of, its notional and semantic content. |

| Â | The Song of Hiawatha, an "Indian Kalevala" |
| | In Canto XXII of the Indian poem, Hiawatha resigns himself to the new order introduced by the Catholic priest who has come to teach the nation about the Virgin Mary and Son, the Savior. | | | Mellin, while teaching Finnish to Longfellow, had also introduced to him Kalevala, "the epic that was to become a model for his greatest work." (13) Later on, Longfellow became better acquainted with Kalevala in translations; indeed, he studied the German version with special care. | | | It is also interesting to note that in the Finnish verse, only two words can form a full, orthodox line, whereas the English verse demands, in these cases, the minimum of four words. |

| | The wealth of the lyrical experience in "Indian" poetry is evident in the Upanishads and the traditional medieval Bengali poetry for instance (mangal kavyas, baromasis), as Dasgupta asserts. | | | It has resulted in adaptation of the Japanese seven-five metre in poetry, which means a loss of the complex varying syllabic prosody in the Korean lyric. | | | He uses the poetry of Yosano Akiko- one of the most modern Japanese poets (1878-1942), who in turn has adapted the oldest poetic form in Japanese literature to write extreme erotic poetry. |
