Frankly, I don't think all poetry is worth reading. It's like anything in life. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Who am I to tell others what they find beautiful?

Touche! God bless you, ma'am. Some poetry are just too ridiculous for the eyes to behold.

LarrySun: And Divepen, I may be writing about only three punctuation marks tomorrow.

why three? Noooo

Divepen:
Shey will soon be here, she is having Network problem..

I still have questions to ask ooo

LarrySun: And Divepen, I may be writing about only three punctuation marks tomorrow.

Nobleval: I meant 'can I comment here or join the conversation'?

You and others are free

LarrySun: Touche! God bless you, ma'am. Some poetry are just too ridiculous for the eyes to behold.

So says LarrySun!

You had better be fast, because she might soon post it oo

Poetry is all about patterns, rhymes/rhythm and language... If they are not present, then is regarded as a song...

@ tex pls answer my question?

SammyHoe:

Yes, phrases and sentences could be branded. For example as little as we were then, we branded the word OLYMPIC into a complete sentence thus:
Olu
Leave
Your
Mother,
Police
Is
Coming

Also, in one of my stories on Nairaland, Henry wanted to correct an inferiority complex habit in Keisa Tyler's life(KEISA TYLER is a sickler in that story). Henry branded her name as:

Kick
Every
Inferiority
Shame
Away,

Then
Your
Lifespan
Expands
Rapturously

With that statement, Keisa Tyler lived a long life

From what you have given us so far, single words are only being branded into sentences. I understand that. My question is, can a sentence be branded into longer sentences?

Like:

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy goats

Can each letter of that sentence be branded?

OMA4U: Texanomaly, you said the type of Poetry everyone has at least come across is song. I beg to disagree, I'd prefer you to say music. All songs are not music, therefore all songs are not poetry.
Is there anything poetic in most Nigerian songs?

Actually all music is not a song. Dyslexic much? Not all music has lyrics. Which is what makes it a song. Sorry.

LarrySun: Touche! God bless you, ma'am. Some poetry are just too ridiculous for the eyes to behold.

of course, poetry is life and everything. Nonsense is part of life and sometimes poetry can be non'sense.

Thanks Texanomaly.

Agreed...music is not a song .Poems frequently rely for their effect on imagery, word association, and the musical qualities of the language used. The interactive layering of all these effects to generate meaning is what marks poetry.

INJUSTICE!!! You want Tex to face the crucifixion alone?

In the genre of poetry we have what we called ' Traditional poem" its a praise songs or chants recited in honour of some heroic persons, animals or events and always accompanied with musical intonation. Poetry is rhythm and their is music in poetry and poetry in music
