There are also two genres or kinds of words, the literal and figurative. A literal
word means exactly as it says. It is factual and does not involve fashioning or
fabricating. Definition of word in the dictionary are generally literal. The dictionary
defines the apple as a round, yellow or green edible fruit. In figurative words, apple can
lose its fruity character. The saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”, refers not
to the fruit itself or of sending the doctors away, but to the belief that it promotes good
health. Figurative is like a word painted to make us see something that literal
language would not make us see. In this context, you can see the interplay between
the literal and the metaphorical.
The British-American poet W.H. Auden once said that one cannot be a poet if
one’s reason for writing poetry is “I have important things I want to say”. But if one’s
reason is “I like hanging around words and listening to what they say”, and he believed
that person could indeed be a poet. Poetry is notable for using a few words to convey a
lot.
