COMMUNICATE BY USING POEMS

Many poems that we ordinarily think of as good poetry -- and some, besides, that we neglect -- have certain common features that will allow us to invent, for their sharper apprehension, the name of a single quality. I shall call that quality tension. In abstract language, a poetic work has distinct quality as the ultimate effect of the whole, and that whole is the “result” of a configuration of meaning which it is the duty of the critic to examine and evaluate. In setting forth this duty as my present procedure I am trying to amplify a critical approach that I have used on other occasions, without wholly giving up the earlier method, which I should describe as the isolation of the general ideas implicit in the poetic work.

Mass language is the medium of “communication,” and its users are less interested in bringing to formal order what is sometimes called the “affective state” than in arousing that state.

Once you have said that everything is One it is obvious that literature is the same as propaganda; once you have said that no truth can be known apart from the immediate dialectical process of history it is obvious that all contemporary artists must prepare the same fashionplate. It is clear too that the One is limited in space as well as time, and the no less Hegelian Fascists are right in saying that all art is patriotic.

What Mr. William Empson calls patriotic poetry sings not merely on behalf of the State; you will find it equally in a lady-like lyric and in much of the political poetry of our time

Concept
Conceptualize a world full of people that isolate and alienate you-a
place where you don’t count or make a difference. This is one of the
major concerns for me.Rosenberg appeals to our intellect
utilizing technical literary ingredients to spice up and flavour the
poem. My project is an analysis of using words and phrases to
communicate themes in poems and to see how the poem has been made
memorable. To me, the poem on its own is a metaphor portraying life
and its elements of uncertainty and others.

The Use Of Poetry
The use of poetry in the second language class is explored as a means of gentle, non-threatening communication. Techniques for using poetry to teach intonation, using adjectives, verbs, pronunciation, and syntax, as well as for offering the student another means of expressing feelings, are explored. Sample poems and lessons are discussed, and several additional exercises are appended. Most of the poetry used was written by the teacher and students. Contains eight references.

The use of poetry as an ancillary technique in couples groups is examined. In noting the use of the arts in family and group therapy, poetry is suggested as an additional method of facilitating group process and breaking down resistance with couples. While the use of poetry in therapy has been described elsewhere, it has received little attention with couples and family therapy. Some techniques described in this report include the use of reactions to a poem or song; the construction of collaborative and dyadic poems; and the development of images from dialogue. An example of a short-term couples group is presented. Therapists are cautioned about the limitations of the method, such as supporting intellectualizations. Utilized as a medium, poetry can be an aid to the therapist in helping clients express feelings and examine communication patterns.

Using poetry in nursing ,
To provide the reader with a basic understanding of the elements of poetry and to review poetry's contribution to nursing. The review will examine the poetry written by nurses, poetry's effect on the profession, and its use in education, patient care, and research.

Classic and current sources of poetry, which enhance the understanding of poetry and how poetry has changed over time are reviewed. The review of nursing literature was conducted in works published in the English language using the keywords: poetry, nursing, and aesthetics. The initial search included all nursing literature with the above keywords from 1960 to 2001. Articles from relevant journals and textbooks, which could contribute to the understanding of the use of poetry in the field of nursing, were included.

The use of poetry in the nursing profession provides us with the opportunity to gain new meaning and understanding about the profession and the clientele served. Poetry is a rich textual medium that can assist in illuminating nursing's core belief about the uniqueness of the nurse–patient relationship, and enhance the 'art' of nursing and 'ways of knowing'.

In this essay of mine, an attempt is made to describe how people actually speak and the language that is actually spoken. The subject of modern linguistics is presented in a new light. Good language is defined as a tension between the code and what needs to be said and a tension between the expressivity of the speaker and the comprehension of the listeners. Thus, language is not a means of communication between speaker and listeners; it is their communication. The book draws heavily on the author's years as a psychotherapist, distinguishing examples of vital speech and neurotic speech, and developing Kurt Goldstein's theory of aphasia. Good speech is both deeply conservative and continually agitational. The book returns to the tradition of philology by often using literature, and the analysis of styles, to reveal the nature of language.

Poetry:

Poem writing is a great venue to release pent up emotions, to make use of one’s creative imagination, to earn a living, and others.

For those who love to write about romance poetry, a good number of articles deal on tips and guides in embracing romance poetry. Some suggested sites are available for you to find your favorite poems that would be interesting to different age groups.

A Valuable Form of Communication As society’s communication technology developed, such as printing presses, access to written poetry expanded. Thus, distribution of the written verse reached others beyond the community of the poet. This gave opportunity for poetry to be exposed to a broader scope of people, widening the perimeters of emotional, intellectual and spiritual expressions.

Gradually, poetry sang further into the depths of society: the poetry of Wordsworth and Shelley outgrew the farm; the poetry of Yeats, Ruskin and Kipling sallied forth beyond country shores; the poetry of Whitman, Dickinson and Hopkins meandered beyond the village; the poetry of Sandburg, Williams and H.D. slinked into the main street of the city. The poetry of Dickey, Hughes and Wright seeped into the coal mines, hammered within lumber yards, and sweated in the cotton mills; the poetry of Plath, Lawrence and Ginsberg even filtered into the sinews of mad men and wild women. This is captured in verses written in Ginsberg’s poem “Howl”.

I saw the best minds of my generation
destroyed by madness,
starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix,
angel head hipsters
burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo
in the machinery of night,
who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat up, smoking
in the supernatural darkness of cold-water flats across
the tops of cities contemplating jazz
(Ginsberg 2380).

Poetry is the pulse of struggles, triumphs and defeats, which span the myriad of emotions common to all human beings. Poetry grasps at the very throat of the pursuit to meaning of life within the vapors of fog, smoke and verse.

Although only a few out of so many, many poets were mentioned, poem upon poem illustrates this powerful quality, as Emily Dickinson wrote, “If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that it is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry” (Dickinson 405). This observation remains a guideline for future poems created and shared.

A reader’s search to identify with another such as the poet, who expresses the same emotion, is fluid. Somewhere there exists a poem, which connects the reader’s heart to poet’s heart, reader’s soul to poet’s soul. Perhaps, a reader maintains the top of her head. Yet, she is so moved by the lines that even her own confusion fades. Poetry strives for emotional, intellectual and spiritual connection to the reader.

factors that contribute to the empathic communication between poet and reader are examined. It is suggested that the capacity for flexible language behavior of the participants in the poetic experience makes possible this empathic communication. The relationship between language and expression of affect is emphasized. Implications for affect theory are presented.

to find out whether there is not a more central achievement in poetry than that represented by either of the extreme examples that we have been considering. I proposed as descriptive of that achievement, the term tension. I am using the term not as a general metaphor, but as a special one, derived from lopping the prefixes off the logical terms extension and intension. What I am saying, of course, is that the meaning of poetry is its “tension,” the full organized body of all the extension and intension that we can find in it. The remotest figurative significance that we can derive does not invalidate the extensions of the literal statement. Or we may begin with the literal statement and by stages develop the complications of metaphor: at every stage we may pause to state the meaning so far apprehended, and at every stage the meaning will be coherent.

The easiest and most simplistic definition of poetry would be: artistic communication.

Poetry to me is an extremely personal thing. It allows me an outlet to express my inner-most feelings, thoughts and emotions.

In my opinion, the greatest appeal of poetry, much like
music or any other art form, is that is personal. Like beauty, appreciation of poetry is in the eye of the beholder. If you enjoy it, that is all that is important!
