The Pleasure of Poem

Poetry is  the kind of written literature to express emotions, with varying styles and types of metaphors, similes etc.  It is the way to express our feeling. Poetry is not about truth, but about pleasure. It offers the great pleasure. In my opinion, what means by pleasure in the poetry is that the happiness or satisfaction which we gets in the poetry. The poetry offers the great pleasure if we really feel the sense of poetry. The pleasures of the poetry can be felt by writing the poem or listening to the  poem.

                When we write the poem, we can feel the  pleasure found on our feeling, the rhythm, word choice, figures of speech, images. Those are the the parts to make the good poetry. In the process of writing a poem, we will let our feeling reveal freely, without restriction. It is very pleasing when our feeling can be expressed as we want. Then, the rhythm will please me by inviting us to make the line of poetry which is like dancing. The process of choosing the poetic word is also pleasing too. The way we struggle to choose the appropriate words is very challenging and offers big pleasure. It offers the pleasure in imagining or creating the words. It appeals in our sense of hearing, touching, smelling and tasting. Also, the way we compose the figures of speech in writing a poem is like the pleasing thing. A figure of speech is the use of a word or words diverging from its usual meaning. The examples are  idiom, metaphor, simile, hyperbole, personification. All of them makes the poem more exciting and certainly it will offer great pleasure.

                When we read the poem,we can feel the pleasure of the pattern of sounds and tone  in poetry. Tone is the quality of voice which can express our feeling. It will determine the beauty of the poem when it is spoken. Whereas, pattern of sound is some ways we produce our voice. The art of poetry will appear when we read the poetry beautifully and with our feeling.
