Theory on Poems
1. A poem sets itself apart from other forms of creative texts. It is still a piece
of writing but with a huge presentation, It is a little lad with a loud voice
entering adult discussions on equal rights. It is a scandal in accounting: that a
minimum of words is capable of spreading a maximum in meaning, and even
to claim the various potentialities to be invested into further reading and re-
readings.
2. A poem is an epistemological labyrinth: a rambling with plenty of
meanings. A blurred idea of exit-final meanings that exist as the preliminary
attempts to grasp the absorption of the previous meaning.
3.A poem intriguingly tempts one with the task of reading it. No scanning or
surfacing is permissible here while with the rest of the text is accepted.: It
must be read properly, i.e. a quintessence of hermeneutics where the reading
and understanding coincide.
4.A poem is both completeness and its scarcity of words. It is as emotionless
as a taut bowstring hurriedly waiting to aim,
5.A poem as a textual masterpiece demands its careful reading to begin with
the beginning, i.c. a title. The title that is like the top of an iceberg with a
hidden mass underwater making the sense of the meaning bigger i.c. more
significant.
6. The definition of a poem is partly hidden behind the title, signposting the
poem's peculiarities and features. The apt name is the embracing of all
features, The nicknames are not false names but highlights of the features that
are not defined before. Similarly, with a poem, the name can be guessed even
in the fragment taken from the native form. The issues of name, size, style,
and the rhythm of the poem might be set as a foreground.
7. Reading a poem is to first detach it from the name (title). Because of
isolation and annoying informality coherent to the fragments of a poem, they
lack identity, belonging, and tradition, therefore they cannot be taken
holistically as a whole, Only a complete poem embodies wholeness.~~

groundless.
9.4 poem labelled as a blank verse and the absence of rhythm is nothing but
piece of prose aligned in the format of the columns. The absence of rhythm,
makes it vulnerable and alien in the family of the poem. This is because the
rhythm is a glue which pastes the lines in pairs under the reign of the common
theme, The presence of the blank verse is a hint which poses the question:
what is the principle difference between prose and poetry?
10.The length of a poem or, simply, the number of lines according to the
known standards culturally varies.
1if the rhythm is a poem’s flesh then the content is the bone of the poem.
One reading is not cnough, the slicing of the content that is rooted deeply as
its natural resources are not shown on the surface. As the reader moves
through the reading word by word, the content opens its enigmas. The
methodological outlines are to identify the name, the structure, and the
content.
12.What is the purpose of writing a poem that does not necessarily coincide
with the grand theme that the poet unfolds line by line: the eritique of reality,
the imitation of reality, and the modulation of reality by substituting it with a
purely imagined one, The common core is unchangeable, it fetters with
reality, even in the high flights of fantasy, the poet reacts to ongoing real
situations that endeavors to change it with a pen.
13, Not all poems are presented (or are survived) in full. A fragment of a
poem is like a plant torn forcibly from its native land. It still bears the smell
and the details of the land can be reconstructed.
14. A poem is a piece of creative work by an author that undoubtedly
possesses a meaning.
15. A poem is first met during childhood going on to haunt people throughout
their whole life, Namely, above other types of writing, poems were the first
to be heard by babies.
10
16. Our first lullabies, both rhymed and not rhymed, are composed under
religious, custom and folklore influences. Small children are encouraged to
learn poems by heart. Reading poetry is a deliberate captivity.
17. A poem is the cradlesong of humanity
18.A poem's easiness is hinted here in terms of grasping and easy digestion.
The easier the rhythm the easier it is to learn by heart, the more difficult
(caused by the rare trope or style) the more difficult grasping of meaning.
19. And as a piece of art, a poem is subjected to an evaluation under the angle
of an aesthetic criteria. In fragmentary and full shapes, it bears the stigmata of
meaning wrapped in an undeniably aesthetic form.
20. A poem is the first and perhaps the last candidate for the title of a bearer
of uniqueness for a meeting place of rhythm and thyme where the last
presupposes and validates the existence of the former.
21.If a poem as a whole is unique then its offspring such as a piece of a poem,
composed of lines in unrepeatable combinations still carries out the lucid light
of uniqueness but in the small proportions.
22. The severe academic requirements of avoiding plagiarism is to be satisfied
with the poem. A poem will never agree to borrow someone else’s words and
set expressions.
23. The threat of plagiarism in poetry is absent since the poct produces the
masterpiece that does not resemble the rest (from this tradition).
24. Each line that is paired under the domain of the rule of rhythm and rhyme
drops to the idea of drifting with no roots and connections.
25.Each word in the line that occupies its proper place enjoys the company of
the welcoming neighbours, each word pulls a plume of interpretations and
meanings behind it.
26. The line and the order of the words are unchangeable and are merged into
a single ingot and monolith by the author as the street and buildings could stay
for years until some destructions do not take place, as in February’s snowing,
April’s raining, and July's heat are potentially viewed.

33, ‘The hermencutics-based task (to arrive at the right understanding); is

realized by only extremely skilful readers.
34. Hermeneutics expectations float above the level of satisfaction with
personal interpretations.

reader to be rescued from hampering conditions.

38. One remaining verse (from the rest of the poem) is still an aphorism
without rhythms for its laconic exhaustion of extra words.
39. Even carefully reading a verse is a decoding of the meaning where all
probes to catch it are numerous ways to rotate around the core point not
necessarily reached at once. For careful reading, firstly it must be understood
that a poem is a construction, a building, where each line is a floor with a
similar number of apartments. The symmetry is the inner skeleton of the
entire construction, otherwise it falls. The spontaneous, supernumerary, extra
word is not welcome with no compromises for the spare variants waiting to
fulfil the vacant place.
40. If each word in theline must occupy its proper place, words must be
suitable in the ad hoc situation and to embody the rightness in the fitting
proposed background: as singers in the choir are chosen for the voice fitting,
as dancers in the group dance are selected by the similar body paraments, as
the glass pieces of mosaic- for the shape and colour,
41. The layers of meanings in a subterranean way are figured out by different
readers, The plurality and the dissimilarity of the readings are not merely the
obstacles in the triads of the possible interpretations: the same challenges
addressed to the meaning: the depths of undiscovered meanings and
unrecognized senses as unanswerable questions to haunt the mind for ages.
42. A poem is a skilful hint-maker. In the first layer (but in major cases in
subsequent deep layers as well) the reading is smooth on the surface and deals
with allusions prompting the route to the final meaning. The route to the
meaning that is behind the words (inside the words, underneath the words) is
sketched on the map by the signals. Reading poems is like diving: the denser
the search, the more hints (treasures) that are met.
43. The route to deciphering the code meaning of a poem is in line
sometimes with understanding humour (of any kind and of any national
coverage). Humour as a message, including the unusual and untypical
interpretation (comedic and fun-like in most cases), of known and banal
events is measured by its skilful presentation of the masking of content.
44, Similarly, the content, the core, and the route to the final meaning of the
poem is covered. The laughter is the deciphering of its hidden meaning
13,Mere reer eee eer
although not all poems after decoding leave the readers with positive joyful
emotions. It does not necessarily mean that poems make everybody laugh, the
link between poems and humour is presumed to be intersected merely (in the
context of this work at least). — Namely not providing a prepared product.
45. Metaphors, comparisons, and deixis, penetrate the content of the poem,
The latter component bears a function of pointing out, showing directly, or
hinting at the route to the meaning.
46. Careful reading is a tét a tet conversation where the reader is left with the
picce of a poem with no help from the side of the intermediaries. Careful one-
to-one reading is a smoothness of non- disturbance.
47. The reliance on the first-hand reader’s impressions is not enough. The
multiplying of probes assures the approach of the right interpretation of the
meaning and learning by heart the critical remarks. The semantic meaning is
hidden behind each line. Likewise, in the long or short poctic pieces the
arrival at the final meaning is a simple calculation of the collected meanings
from each line. Under this auspice, this does not lead to a formula: the more
lines the deeper the sense.
48. A poem is a house welcoming the metaphors as expected guests. The
metaphors are the best candidates to the most puzzling but also the most
challenging connections of words. What is a metaphor if it does not play with
words and meanings? It is a celebrated dualism, in complexion and
simplification in a promise of distant beautification and a harvesting of the
nearest half-ripe fruits.
49. A poem in its marrowbone does not allow the arrival of unwanted word-
candidates.
50. As in the case of translation, the poems do not bear any compromise for
unfit form and content.
51. If the alliance is composed in a given way, if the people are sitting on
places they happen to occupy on public transport or sitting in front of people
they do not know and never intend to come across in the urban cafeteria, the
words must not be asked to occupy or fit into places whether comfortable or
not.
4
52. In the rhymed verses the words must be content with the places they
have, the non-comfortability can be noticed in the absence of rhyme.
53. Poetic rhyme is an inner mechanism of bestowing the words with the
proper place (word order) within a line.
54. In the rules of etiquette an examined poem is ready to get a protocol, a
label, a tag, a sticker, a sign of being reviewed (not necessarily approved) with
the authorized or ad-hoc licenced opinions in a subjective tone and in well-
weighted words.
55. A poem isa place where the quality (not quantity) plays a leading role, the
weirdness of extra words covers an avalanche and paves the way for a
triumphant marching of meanings, for it to be expressed in some words.
56. A poem is preferably written (and read) in isolated conditions, as far as it
is possible to escape from poem-enemies: the vanity, noisy streets, and empty
conversation,
57. If the writing of a poem comes from inspiration, the reading of a poem
relies on proper conditions. If the writing is an unexpected act of creativity
for the author, the reading needs the before-set decorations: the quietness of
the library or silence of a noiseless midnight. No noise of neighbouring human
activity.
58. A poem passes through stages of development: it is born out of a splash of
ideas. It is read in through thought-provoking words, It combines uniquely a
burst of energy and creativity motivated by the delivery of a specific message.
It is silent in letting go with a slow process of understanding its enigmatic
messages.
59. Agnosticism is not favoured in the reading of a poem; the search for the
meaning is never endangered with the first failures, As every problem has its
high philosophical connotations and solutions, a pocm’s meaning is to be
found even in a subjective trajectory of the search. There is no poem without a
meaning. A poem isa manifesto of meaning, a must-read piece of art abundant
with exclusive words (for not every word is welcomed under strict rules of
composing each line).
15,re,
60. If every problem can be translated into a philosophical language rested on
the concepts authored and enrooted in a tradition, then a poem with its key
words - are unconditionally authored and bound with tradition.
61. A poem is the squeeze of a person’s life changing one into a cemented
block of messages that penetrate the caravan of ages with lucidity and the
swiftness of a dashing arrow.
62. A poem is a celebration of subjectivism, screaming the core behind actions
and events, mixing, and rallying them together into a stillness of wide
embrace. Thus, the poem is hatched from the shell, and immediately surfacing
‘on the objects bestowing them with values, characterizations and even
nicknames.
63. A poem is a long-waited freedom of influences. Each word in a line is an
outcome of origin and dignity, but not adopted. It is a swallowed virus, gone
from the polluted air of the imposed standards and styles.
64. In a poem there is no restriction of academic regulations, repeating, or
fancy literature, There is no uncontrolled human imagination galloping like
‘Arabian horses. (An academic and amateurish reading can perform a similar
understanding still expressed with different words and phrases).
65. The rhythmed message of a poem is not from this carth. For catching its
light vaporization, the reading and learning by heart come as a solution and,
thus, “read’” as an imperative.
66. A poem is crystalized, a modulated perfection spiced up with exclusive
words directly addressed to serve as a finishing piece born to be used solely in
the poetic dressing (otherwise in daily jargon it would be plagiarism if not
cited properly). The words are saturated with lyrics, unescapably, the poem is
a lyrical digression.
67. The best wallpaper for reading a poem is sincere willingness. A poem is
for a poem-lover, the careful reading -which each poem deserves- happens not
out of midday boredom.
68. A poem compels every word to speak up on an equal level of significance
still not indulging and not deceiving oneself with all sides of a vanity of
focusing on tiny details. Every word in this poetic mission as a legitimate part
16
of a poem contains the deposits of the unused energy and potential of an
adamant meaning.
69. A poem is a potentially testing field to admit the thesis that the scope of
the right understanding echoes in every subjective reading of every poem. In
fact, this reflects the hermeneutic purpose spinning around as a loyal sputnik
of a process of reading any poem. In turn this reminds reader that the banality
and significance of this aim of understanding has never been vanished from a
human being's agenda as the easiest and the most complicated task humanity
ever has faced.
70. However, by the process of elimination, neither the construction nor the
deconstruction is a tool in reaching the hermeneutic aim of a reading a poem is
but a raised a curtain which shadows the meaning.
71, The isolation from the annoying agents of influence (including the facts of
biography and search for similarities or dissimilarities with contemporaries)
gives its long awaited harvest in pursuing this hermeneutic aim,
72. Like every human being, a poem has a unique date of birth, a destiny, and
life trajectories to walk along. It has friends and foes, it has admirers and
intruders, it has a death date or complete immortality.
73. A poem rests upon the rules of a scarcity of words to cover the vastness of
meaning. Therefore, the measurement and balance distinguish a poem from
other pieces of work much like little bites of bread that take away hunger, or
sips of water that extinguish the flames of thirst. Sometimes some lines of a
poem are cognitively enough to inspire one person’s life to be turned to the
refreshing self-perfection and betterment.
74. A poem in its shortness can express content when thousands of pages are
not sufficient. Some lines from selected poems overload the several books of
rare stores in libraries.
75. A poem is a message to a rare anonymous reader who, after re-reading it
many times, comes to know that it has been addressed to them. (A poem does
not neglect laconism: one meaning can be expressed with one sentence or
copied, flavoured with different spices, hues, and undertones).
776. A poem is an unexpected formation of a person’s own thoughts. The
author can be stuck with the own written lines and the source of a stimulus
can still be unclear: or divine inspiration, or a good mood or a well-trained
inborn gift tamed to act in a mechanic way.
77. As many readers as many interpretations and no one knows that one’s hit
the target with a dart, i.e. how to caught a right meaning of a poem. Neither
author knows own interpretation of the thoughts igneous from depths of mind
put in the rhymed words.
78.The final outcome is equally unknown (and hidden behind the curtains of
the unseen). To repeat again-even the author does not know what will be born
out of these creative efforts or the turns and nuances of the born
interpretation.
79. If any writing text is not free from exceptions, where are they in a poem?
The play of words, the calembours, one of the favourite intellectual games of
poem-writers, at least in English the word ‘poem’ is co-played with the word
“pome’’. Each line of the poem brings the freshest, the sweetest, the ripest
fruits and vigour that is already imprinted on the seeds.
80. It is not a time-consuming task to count the number of used key words in
a poem. The calculation strengthens the argumentation in favour of a choice of
a theme as a mainstream one.
81. Reading and simultaneously commenting on the poem is like picking up
scattered pearls on each step of a spiral staircase, where the meaning is a
gathered pearl necklace.
82. As ina human’s life, the poem in its reading and comprehension bears the
ups and downs, not in the means of style but in terms of lucidity or the
overclouding of the path to its inner meaning.
83. As usual- but it is not a rule- the narration in a poem gains its speed -like a
marathon runner -reaching their peak. Only to then take a deep breath
downstream later to ascend again and so on. The finish is the summit of the
peak,
18.
84. Subjectivity, that is in the blood, manifests itself in the reading of the
poem through individual glasses of a kaleidoscope. The genuine message stays
unaltered and static, but the angles of understanding are in constant change.
85. The reader of one poem alters their first-hand impression in subsequent
readings. The preferences are to be edited: the favourite poem or lines of
youth made the uncontrolled thrilling admiration are potentially to be covered
with oblivion in the matured period. The reading of a poem is not exclusively
an admiration of an aesthetic styling of the words in a proper order, but the
persistent diving for the pearls of a meaning hidden in the depths.
86. The attentive reader must be careful in directing their first impressions in
the hunting of meaning: There is no more powerful deception than self-
deception. The catching of a rare bird can be unexpectedly easy. After that,
the attained meaning of the poem must be tested and then the process of re-
reading begins once more,
87. Victory is bestowed on the battlefield; reading can be rewarded with the
unfolding of meaning only and under the condition of staying within a text
(not the additional sources of commentaries or biographical literature).
88. A poem never bears vanity. Do not rush to the end. Do not leave the
poem unread until the last word. A to Z is the motto for a careful reading.
89. Everyone can read poetry yet not everyone can understand its deeper
meaning. Everyone can succeed in being a careful reader, but not everyone
elevates to the level of a careful critic.
90. A poem does not trust non-careful critics those who never reflect deeply
upon lines, Those who never match words in a metaphorical sense welcomed
by all poems like couples under the hymn of marriage in one law of rhythm.
Thus, an ideal careful poetry critic must be a past or not a fully-fledged poet at
heart.
91. A poem warns its careful reader with the following message: “Be cautious
when listening to other comments for you are opening your ears and heart for
subjectivity.”
92. The meaning of a poem is prudently hidden behind or under each word. It
must be gathered like seashells scattered on the shore. The quest for it can be
19simplified by the finding of the culminate point(s) in the poem, where the
meaning is seen in depth.
93, Each part of poetic masterpicce is both the same and different to others.
94. Reading a poem isa search for matching: poem seeks its readers, Not one
poem is equal to all its guests.
95. Not everyone is prone to counting and reading algorithms. However, a
poem is an unriddled code with the passwords acting as the first prerequisite
for understanding. Truly, poems are for those who understand.
96. A poem is the solving of hermeneutics, i.e. understanding. It is not
included in the excurses of the retelling of borrowed thoughts. The right
response gives a feeling of catching the shades of the right meaning but in a
second it can slip away. The genuine interpretation is free from a shameless
retelling of retelling.
97. The right reading stimulates the proper responses which results in a
unison of the uncovered meaning and solving the hermeneutic purpose of the
right understanding, It celebrates the right sound like the sounds of a guitar
with well-tuned strings. The well-tuned, well-balanced music climaxed in the
right reading of the poem is to keep the right tune of mind.
98.For a careful reader of a poem being fascinated with poetry and its
consequences in the forms of commentaries is like the quest for a lost
paradise,
99. There is a principal difference between the readers knowing their own
reflections and competence in critical accounts. Despite this, one who has
selected their favourite piece of a poem pays the devotion with no expiry date
100. Poetry is an unheard ambition. In a world of constant change, poetry is a
way to find something stable, unchanged, and immutable. A poem is like a
stone untouched by a strong wind, being potentially close to everyone but
neglected in the vanity of daily life. A poem teaches a careful reader to rise
above this vanity of daily life. The words invigorate like a prayer, inspiring
like kind words of a person's dearest ones, embracing with the right
instructions like a wise teacher.
