MacLeish's Ars Poetica, cited in the article, is described as being "ironic." However, I read it as a straightforward imagist poetic credo from a practitioner of modernist verse.
The definition section on this article is much improved from when it was a miscellaneous grab bag of quotes from various poets. I think it might actually be closer to a NPOV definition than the Britannica's. Evan Donovan 04:28, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
what is * CUE: A Journal of Prose Poetry, it seems to be adding no useful resources to this page?
Hi, I'm the publisher of MUGround poetry magazine, which has been in operation since the late 90s. I recently added a link and it was removed. Any reason? Anything I can do to get the link to stick? Thanks, kpaul
Thanks for the quick response, and I see what you're saying. The sites I saw were more 'traditional' though and didn't represent some of the great, small poetry communities on the web. Maybe another section for 'independent/online poetry journals or communities'? Also, if I collected what I think to be the best three or four of these sources in addition to mine, would that help some? There's a whole other world of poetry out there that isn't represented here... Thanks again.
An idea for a collective poetry writing wiki.
At the moment in the sandbox poetry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sandbox/Poetry – it says – ‘do not edit other people’s poems’. This seems out of the spirit of Wikipedia. Surely there are on the Web, or can be created on Wikipedia an area for merely mere to display their poems. However, in keeping with the wiki-mentally a collective-poem writing exercise seems the way to go.
How would this work?
As with other pages, you put your content on the page, and other people can add, edit, copy, reorganize etc. History can be kept – poems can split in two like a forked path – and join together like tributaries to a great river.
There could be a place to put ‘ideas’ probably in prose for poems. You could start a poem and ask others to complete it. It could be subdivided into narrative, didactic, humourous, epic, ‘hip-hop’ etc. poetry. And themes: death, Renaissance, Internet, nature, revolution!
What precedents?
If I understand it well, ancient poetry was made in a similar collaborative effort. There was not one version of a poem, but the poems were turned by different tongues and progressively modified – whilst retaining the same central story. This I believe is how much early Homeric poetry was created, the difference being we will be using our keyboards.
What other projects?
It could be envisaged that this format if successful could be used for other story-telling formats in prose.

The quotes from Frost and Sandberg, without explanation, are not particularly helpful. They seem more suitable for wikiquote. I'll put this page on my list to work on. Evan Donovan 21:06, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
More forms of poetry are needed. More moderns forms relative to kids and students are especially lacking.
The various poetry forms should also be re-arranged by alpabetical order. Perhaps after all of the various forms are added, someone should take the time to move them around so they make better sense? -- Watchguy 17:05, 17 August 2007

I regularly remove external links on this page that point to sites that display copyright protected poetry under the guise of being "user created". I also regularly remove external links on this page that point to an individual poets home page. Am I interpreting the External links style guide correctly in doing so? (i.e. point 5 under "Occasionally acceptable links" and presumably 3 and 9 under "Links to normally avoid"). -- Bhabing 15:22, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
Added to the list of external links on this page that I am removing (unless someone out there corrects my interpretation) are blogs and message boards (violating #10 on External links); links that are aimed at a single sub-types of poetry as they should go on pages dedicated to those genres, nationalities, or ethnic-groups; sites featuring poetry as just one genre among many; and finally, I am viewing liks with blatantly misleading titles (general when the site is specific) as attempting to sell the site, and therefore also against the guidelines. -- Bhabing 18:28, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Hello! I am a writer for the Smithsonian's Center for Education, which publishes Smithsonian in Your Classroom, a magazine for teachers. Our most recent issue is titled "The Music in Poetry." The lesson plans introduce students to the rhythms of poetry--to the idea that poetry has a rhythm--by focusing on two poetic forms that originated as forms of song: the ballad stanza, found throughout British and American literature, and the blues stanzas of Langston Hughes. An online version of the issue is available for free download at this address:
http://www.smithsonianeducation.org/educators/lesson_plans/music_in_poetry/index.html
Accessible from this page is a free audio site that Smithsonian Folkway Recordings set up to accompany the issue. Students can listen to musical ballads and blues and compare them to the poem.
If you think that visitors would find this valuable, I wish to invite you to include a link to our site. We would be most grateful.
Thank you so much for your attention.
Do you think that Poetry Talk would be worthy of putting in the external links section?
I'd like to see Ergo Poetry in the list. Unlike some of the others listed, there are no ads on the site! Thanks.
I starting restructuring this article to reflect summary style, so that some of the other very good poetry related pages are brought together here. I think "form" and "history" each need a lot of work, and am working on some ideas in my own sandbox. Feel free to contribute ideas there as well as here; I'll incorporate some of that material with the material that's already here as its ready for prime time (or as I need to fill in a newly created heading like "stanza"). Sam 13:23, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
I see someone in the archived talk page raised the same issue, but there was no reply. The Sandburg quote in the intro doesn't really seem to be up to the standard of the rest of the article. Is there a particular reason for including it? It just seems a bit silly ... at least in isolation. Stumps 15:18, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
I removed the term "written" from the lead sentence. I thought it too restrictive in either sense. Poetry is not always in writing, and exists in cultures without writing: oral poetry exists. Nor is it necessarily composed in advance; it is possible to improvise poetry. Smerdis of Tlön 19:16, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
JA: Level 1 headers are not supposed to be used interior to articles. Right now there's a 1 without a 2 in the rhyme scheme section, so the outline depth can be decreased there. Jon Awbrey 21:54, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
I've done some work on the Nature of Poetry, but it remains the weakest section in my opinion. Can anyone add some discussion of non-Western aesthetic traditions here? Are there other pages, like the Aristotle's poetics pages or the Ars Poetica page, that should be referenced in this section?
I'm thinking that once the Nature of Poetry section sees some improvement, it would be good to submit this article for featured article status - are there a couple of people who will commit to helping follow up on the suggestions that result from the FA process? I'll help. Sam 13:51, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
I note this article has seen yet another influx of linkspam, with the current spammer not only adding his own but deleting others (such as the link to Poetry magazine). It strikes me that it's about time to clean house on the external links and limit them to the truly useful. I do find Poetry magazine useful, and think the Paris Review would also be useful. Bartleby, the Library of Congress, Project Guttenberg, and most of the major journals strike me as useful. While the "Bob's Byways" link has a pretty good collection of definitions, I think they are all in Wikipedia at this point and it's time for that to go. Are there others people want to keep or get rid of? I've leave the discussion alive here for a while, and then start cutting unless there is consensus otherwise. Sam 14:09, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

I edited out a description of a minor form developed by one poet from the summary of forms - the inserted material made up the entire article on the form. I think we should also eliminate Acrostic - the description is not terribly interesting, and there is already mention of acrostics in the visual presentation discussion.

A lot of good work has gone into tightening up the language and clarifying and focusing the language. I've restored one paragraph I thought was important, with some changes to clarify it, and changed the form of the lead back to the default, which I think looks better. Also, a section on fables was added to the discussion of forms recently, and I don't think it belongs there (fables are not forms of themselves, but are a genre cast in various forms), but do think we should preserve the thoughts somewhere. Any ideas as to where it would fit right? Sam 14:44, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
The idea of a subsection on Genres for the fables discussion is great - I don't want to interrupt the editing, so I'll just kick in a few ideas here and come back sometime to work on them. I think it would be best if this were like the "forms" discussion, examples of different genres rather than an attempt to exhaustively list them. We need a general discussion of what a "genre" is. Some of the one's I think of worth potentially worth expounding on include Epic poetry, Hymns/ Psalms, and Verse drama; our selection should bring out examples that are important in every major literary culture. It may be worth a quick review of the different pages devoted to poetry of various cultures to see what gets emphasized. We may also want to look back at the rest of the article and think about how to weave in some thoughts about genre in the broader discussion. As always, we'll need to come up with some cites - I'll come up with a few of those. Nice work. Sam 18:52, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

This article seems to be more a study of avoidance of the canonical works of the world than a discussion of poetry as most people might recognize it. Who the heck is Ambroise-Paul-Toussaint-Jules Valéry to most of us? Why Robinson Jeffers? I happen to be a fan, but he is hardly a MAJOR poet. Archibald Macleish was at best a third rate poet, though his "line" has become famous. Lewis Carroll is not known for his poetry nearly so much as for Alice in Wonderland. Why in particular is a Chinese poem featured prominently in an English language article; the poem doesn't predate anything in the Western World and the question remains is it important in the Eastern World? Why is it important to show a Russian poem on a wall in Holland to demonstrate stanzas other than to pursue some kind of campaign of multiculturalism? I daresay it does not advance the reader's knowledge of what a stanza is. It's nice, but a bit wide of the mark. In other words, the effort here seems to be to to favor the obscure over the well known. But hey!, how can anything be well known if no one talks about it?

The very first 'corrections' I made a year or so ago to any Wiki article were, I admit, writing the words in English, as opposed to American. OK, I accepted the subsequent admonishment... and have not sinned again... but, it is impossible to read, without cringing, an article about poetry with references to meter, i.e. something that records the volume of electricity I use, and which does not mention 'metre', that which is essential to poetry.

This is not strictly accurate. Du Fu's poetry is rhymed and metrical. Beowulf likewise follows a (fairly rigorous) meter, so I replaced these examples with Biblical poetry. Szfski ( talk) 19:50, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
Okay, this has been bugging me for a while. The derivation of poetry is not the greek poesis. I can't tell you what exactly it is, but I think the latin for it is poetas, which would be closer. Or maybe it comes through French poesie? Either way the current etymology is innaccurate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.176.120.144 ( talk) 19:48, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
Why aren't there more effective categories specifically on possible subdivisions of poetry? I tried to find 20th century poets and was redirected to here. Again, I tried "American poets" and was similarly redirected here. Why wouldn't there be a category for "20th century poets" or "american poets"?

As I am familair to that area of the subject,I know who is who?.There are hundreds of biographical articles of poets,it does not mean you add their names everywhere,you want.Wikipedia has a standard and for it requires classical entries,not just an entry.In the article Poetry section Ghazal,should be the image of any classical or prominent poet,not just a poet.And other thing removed subject of image is a comic poet,and section Ghazal requires images of classical and prominent poets of puur ghazal,as like Ghalib, Mir and etc.
Please take a look at Ghazal,then may you understand,why I removed the image.Please do not revert any edit without explaining properly.I have ask, about your Rv reverting,to User:LadyofShalott,her assistance in this regard,after this I will react accordingly.Cheers.

This article needs improvement on its referencing and comprehensive. Throughout the entire article, there are multiple Citation Needed templates and unreferenced sections on the page. As well, there are sections in the article that need expanding, like the ones found in the Form section. There should also be some fixing of dab links. GamerPro64 22:26, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
This article apparently says nothing about the public recitation of poetry! It only mentions and links to performance poetry, and i now added the link to poetry reading. But both of those articles do not provide the missing information either. Performance poetry is a specific kind of poetry, whereas all poetry can be recited publicly. And the article on poetry reading only mentions public recitals by poets, not by others! But poetry doesn't even talk about and didn't even link to that!!
So the article also says nothing about how poetry is again increasingly being recited orally in public after a long period of being mostly read silently or being read or recited to oneself or others in private.
There must be organizations of poetry readers in English speaking countries such as this Finnish organization, which points out that the art of poetry recitation has its roots in ancient Greece, where professional itinerant poetry reciters, called rhapsodists accompanied their performances with the guitar (should read: kithara). And now i discovered that there is even WP article on that topic although this article also doesn't mention that and didn't even have a link! -- Espoo ( talk) 11:47, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
This first sentence of the article defines poetry as "a form of literary art which uses the aesthetic qualities of language to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, the prosaic ostensible meaning." However, this seems to me both absurd and inaccurate in its usual English usage, since most prosaic writers (of, for example, novels) would consider their works crafted to evoke aesthetic qualities just as much as poetry and yet decidedly not poetry. The absurd part of this definition is that of course a form of "literary art" would have "aesthetic qualities"....All art does by definition. It seems to me that the much more accurate definition of poetry in modern English centers around its structural rather than aesthetic qualities. In particular, poetry is defined by its use (or deliberate disuse) of structural features, such as rhythm, meter, and (perhaps, the most defining) verse, i.e. its structuring of groups of words into lines. The Book of Literary Terms by Lewis Turco (1999) states: "Prose, that is, unmetered language, and verse, that is, metered" (9). So often, I see the dichotomy of "prose vs. verse" and "prose vs. poetry." Why are poetry and verse so often both regarded as the opposite of prose? I suspect it is because verse is a fundamental feature of poetry. Although beauty or art are often are associated with poetry, they do not define it. That, it seems to me, is done by a particular poetical structure (and often, in modern times, a hybridizing of that structure with prosaic elements or a conscious breakdown of, or moving away from, that structure. But in any case, a conscious attention paid to the structure by the poem's creator). Other thoughts? Wolfdog ( talk) 02:16, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Per usual, Wikipaeida buries the "lead" in the sixth sentence where EVEN THEN it "caveats" (1) the obvious: that "poetry has sometimes been more generally regarded as a fundamental creative act employing language"...when the plain, obvious FACT is that
(1) "caveats" is an obscene syntactical creation of Gen. Alexander Haig, who was in charge of the American government in the Watergate transition/handover of power from Richard Nixon to Gerald Ford.
Later Secretary of State under Ronald Reagan and Commanding General of NATO, Haig was the effective "president" or, if you will, behind-the-scenes Machiavelli for two presidents, one on the wax and one on the wane, for perhaps as many as two years.
Haig was a protege of Henry Kissinger -- who arranged the execution of democratically elected Chilean president Salvador Allende on 9/11 1971 in a military coup d'etat of the democratically elected government by Chilean fascist Gen. Augusto Pinochet who used actual escaped World War II Nazis to assist in "disappearing" Chilean dissidents, Hitler-style.
Haig is the kind of person who would agree that poetry is only all about rhyme and meter, nothing more, and besides it is useless because it doesn't train anyone to work at a real job in the American gulag and besides, poets and English teachers and professors are all subversive commiepinkos who need to be surveilled by the NSA because they are dangerous terrorists.

Hello. There is not a template for types of poems/styles of poems, which would contain such things as Alliterative verse, Bob and wheel, and the many other components of poetry.

Hi there @ Nihil novi:, I added an image representing shijing poetry to this page a few days ago. The image was quickly removed. My intention was to improve the cultural representation in the images on this page. Poetry from China, India and other places is mentioned (fairly briefly) on this page but most of the images are of white male poets. Overall, In my opinion this page is too focused on western poetry and poetry traditions from other parts of the world are dealt with too superficially. I would suggest that work is needed on the text in order to engage with other poetry traditions more substantially. However, a fairly easy way to improve the cultural representation of the page, at least in the short term, would be to add some photos that illustrate the cultural representation already mentioned in the article. On this basis I would argue that my image of shijing poetry should be reinstated on the page. I also perceive a gender bias on this page - in images and text. Two women are mentioned in the text - Marianne Moore and Sappho. Images of these women, at the very least, should be added to the page. However, I reckon more examples of women poets for the various sections of the article should also be added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gingerlemondrink ( talk • contribs) 19:48, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

While I edited quite a few articles (minor edits and additions) and even had my first article approved (YAY!), I am most definitely a beginner. Learning. I looked for a category called Poetry Translation, but I did not find any. Before I mess with creating categories (I am still trying to understand how it works, so this will not happen in any hurry) - I am just asking for some guidance. Is there such a category? Am I missing it? I am not sure if this fits under either Poetry or Translation. In the broad literary research field (academia), Poetry Translation is a genuine discipline, independent of both Poetry, and other forms of Translation such as Prose Translation, Technical Translation etc.
