Poetry poetry,
Starting from folk life
And literature,
Capitalizing on
Emotion, sentiment and feeling,
Dealing with war,
Loss and casualty,
Joy and sadness,
Turning to classicism
Through pedantry and scholasticism,
Rhyme and rhetoric,
Prosody and scansion
To comment, taunt and jibe
To laughter, smile, wit and humour
To irony and doublespeak,
The volt-face
To faith and doubt,
Discovery and adventure
To optimism and pessimism
To modernism and its beyond.
