Man’s love for imitation and melody is instinctive
resulting in poesy, Aristotle said!
Poet, thus, an imitator is,
instinctively imitating three…
“Things as they were or are
Things as they are said or thought to be, or
Things as they are ought to be!”
Thus, imitating, past or present
is considered as an ideal event!
Deeper implication, the poet has
for not only he imitates
but, recreates and is a creator, too!
Poetry then is just not
mere reproduction of facts and truths
that apply to all places and times…
But, is more philosophical and
a nobler creation than history itself!
Poet’s aesthetic pleasure then
is pleasure for both poet and reader alike!
A combination of philosophy and morality, all intact!
Immediate emotional appeal, poetry has to the soul
purifying and ennobling our feelings and sensibilities
elevating and humanizing the reader gradually, as it reads on!
