Ode To The Poet's Craft Comments

7) Thank you dear poet, for sharing this wonderful poem.5* and MyFavouritePoemsList

6) Without using rhymes (Praasam) he created such rhythm in his poetry that when recited, it sounds like exquisite music.

5) As an ardent fan of Kaalidasa poetry, I tend to believe that this poem is written by Poet Muhammad Muzzammil in deference to his poetry. Except, May be, the second stanza.

4) Like Shakespeare, selection of the most suited meter comes to him by nature. For Meghasandesham he used "Mandaakraanta", the beautiful Sanskrit meter.

3) The Great Indian Poet and dramatist Kaalidasa used tropes like simile, metaphor etc. (these are called Arthalankara- tropes that accentuate meaning and ideas) profuse ly in his poetry, he steadfastly withstood the temptation to use rhymes (Praasam in Sanskrit) .

2) while the repetition of sounds (syllables) , that Is rhyme, forms part of the meter in the Western poetry, it is considered as a trope in the Sanskrit Poetry.

Beautifully written on the art of Poetry. I loved the detailed narrative on tropes. I often compare the definitions of meter in Western Poetry and Indian Poetry.

A beautifully crafted poem.Love the creative flow of this poem.

Nice ode on poetry.
