Poestory [poetry + Story] Poem by Md. Ziaul Haque

I have created a new genre of writing,

Which sounds quite amazing,

Known as ‘poestory',

A blend of ‘poetry' and ‘story'!


The first half will be,

The start of the story,

But in the language of poetry,

And the second half will be in prose really.


It is fine to craft a new style of writing,

After all a writer should innovate something!


- 'Poestory' is a new genre of writing in literature that I have created by blending two words i.e. poetry + story. In a word, it is a type of writing where a story has both the qualities of poetry and prose. It starts poetically and ends in a prosaic manner. In Bangla, it can be called 'গল্পিতা' [গল্প + কবিতা].

- It also means a poem that tells a story. In other words, it is a poem where a story is told in a poetic way.
