REVIEW ON RELATED LITERATURE

2.1 Poetry

Robert Forst, an American well known poet (in Ching, 1980:140) says that poetry is the art of saying one thing to meaning another. William Wordsworth (in Reubun, 2000:1) defines poetry as ‘the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings, recollected in tranquility’. So poetry is the most compressed form of literature. It is composed of carefully chosen words expressing great dept of meaning. Poetry uses specific devices such as connotation, sounds, and rythm to express the appropriate combination of meaning and emotion.

Poetry describes some story. It is having division and it will describe something. There are 6 divisions of poetry:

1. Epic is narrative poetry occasionally. Often, it is consist a civilization, related to some heroic figure or in action in which the pride of a nation.

2. Ballad. It is form was spoken narrative, usually unwritten, capable of improvisation in detail of incident and expression.

3. Narrative Poetry. The Epic and ballad are far from exhausting the varieties of narrative poetry. It is wide range can be illustrated by reference to such collection, where many kinds exists side by side

4. Dramatic poetry. It is poetry in which the poet speaks not in his own person but he merging in the character that he has created out his imagination

5. Elegy. The Elegy in English has no conventional form such as it had in classical literature. In greek and latin all emotional or reflective poems written in alternate dactylic hemameters and pentameters were called elegiac.

6. The ode. Its from a greek root, meaning ‘to sing’ implies a relation with the lyric, but the term still retains a sense of a poem written for special occasion, or an invocation, which aims at a high elevation of thought and feeling.

A poem should be read several times in order to hear it and feels its emotions. The more times we read the poem, the more we can analyze the understand subtle shades of meaning in a poem. These shades of meaning are often conveyed through specific poetic devices, or part of the poem.

There are part of poem:

a. Speaker is the created narrative voice (the person the readers is supposed to imagine is talking

b. Audience is the person or the people to whom the speaker can address another character character in the poem, the reader.

c. Subject is the general or specific topic of the poem (what the poem about)

d. Tone is the poet’s attitude toward the subject of the poem (this may be different the speaker’s attitude). We can identify the tone of the poem by nothing the author’s use of poetic devices such as diction, rhythm and syntax

e. Theme is the statement the poem/plot makes about its subject. (theme for poetry has slightly different meaning than theme for a work of fiction)

f. Diction is the poet’s choice of words, the poet chooses each word carefully so that both its meaning and sound contribute to the tone and feeling of the poem

g. Syntax is the organization of words, phrases and clauses. Finding the right syntax for a poem is like the finding right light before you take a photograph. If the order of the words is ‘wrong’, the emotional, psychological, and spiritual impact of the words will be lost.

h. Imaginary is the words of phrases used specifically to help the reader to imagine each of the sense: smell, touch, sight, hearing and taste. The type of imagery has a specific name:

o Olfactory is imagery stimulates the sense of smell

o Tactile is imagery stimulates the sense of touch

o Visual is imagery stimulates the sense of touch

o Auditory is imagery stimulates the sense of hearing

o Gustatory is imagery stimulates the sense of taste

o Kinesthesia is imagery stimulates the sense of natural body (ex: a pulse, breating)

o Synesthesia is imagery stimulates the sense of one sense to evoke another (ex: loud color, warm gesture)

i. Figurative of speech are the poetic devices in which two images or objects are compared to makes the poem more interesting ang meaningful.

There are figures of speech:

1. Simile is the comparison that uses the words like or as, or verb like seems or appears to draw two objects or images into relationship. Example: your eyes as the sky, you eat like a bird.

2. Methapor is the functions the same way simile does, except that the comarison is more implied and the words like or as are omitted. The verb to be is used. Example: your cheeks are red cherries

3. Personification is the type of metaphor that gives living qualities to inanimate object or abstract ideas; or human qualities (feeling, thought) to animals. It gives non-living things and animals the ability to think, feel emotions, or have human relationships.

Example: the Moon smiles. Fires rage

4. Synecdoche is form of metaphor where one part stands for the whole, or the whole is substituted for one part. In other words we speak of something by naming only a part of it. Example: Robby got wheels this summer. Wheels=car

5. Alusion is a refrence made to another literary work, historical event, work of art, or a famous person’s quote that adds more depth to the poet’s/authors meaning. In fact all poems retelling old stories are allusive. Example: a modern version of casey and the bad would allude to the old ballad.

6. Simbolism. When an author used an object or ideas to suggest more than its literal meaning. A person, place, or event stands for something other than it, usually something broader or deepeer than it is

7. Understatement (litotes, meioses). Saying something with an overly light tone, the speaker’s words convey less emotion than he actually feels. Examples: i’m really glad that you have to visit’ said the spider to the fly

8. Paradox is a statements that appears to be absurd, untrue, or contradictionary, but may actually be true

9. Oxymoron is a form of paradox where two contradictory terms are combined in one phrase. Example: darkly lit, fearful joy

j. Rhytm is the repetition of stress within a poem

2.2 Lyrical Poem

The poem are mostly that we might now call art song, or poems written to sing in plays and maques. A lyric poem is produce of human mind so that we should be aware of the human attitudes, responses, sentiments, ideas and judgments. The lyric poem seems to express emotion in a sudden surge of unpremeditated melody. Poem are not written by influences or movements or sources, but come from the living hearts of men
