प्रश्न
Discuss with your partner the following definition of a poem.
A poem is made of words arranged in a beautiful order. These words, when reading aloud with feeling, have a music and meaning of their own.
उत्तर
A poem is supposedly an artistic piece which contains a speech as well as a song and is usually rhythmical and metaphorical. These beautiful arrangements of words beautify and add to the essence of the poem. Poems are supposedly read aloud to feel the intense passion and emotion with which they have been composed. The rhyming words in a poem put various ideas and imaginations of the poet in sync. According to the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, a poem can be defined as a piece of writing in which the words are chosen for their sound and the images they suggest, not just for their obvious meanings. The words are arranged in separate lines, usually with a repeated rhythm, and often the lines rhyme at the end.
