	Poetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Poetry often uses condensed forms and conventions to reinforce or expand the meaning of the underlying words or to invoke emotional or sensual experiences in the reader, as well as using devices such as assonance, alliteration and rhythm to achieve musical or incantatory effects.
		Poetic diction describes the manner in which language is used and refers not only to the sound but also to the underlying meaning and its interaction with sound and form.
		In more developed, closed or "received" forms, rhyming scheme, meter and other elements of a poem are based on sets of rules, ranging from the relatively loose rules that govern the construction of an elegy to the highly formalized structure of the ghazal or villanelle.

	Aristotle (384-322 BCE): General Introduction [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Forms are not causes of movement and alteration in the physical objects of sensation.
		The prominent virtue of this list is high-mindedness, which, as being a kind of ideal self-respect, is regarded as the crown of all the other virtues, depending on them for its existence, and itself in turn tending to intensify their force.
		The list seems to be more a deduction from the formula than a statement of the facts on which the formula itself depends, and Aristotle accordingly finds language frequently inadequate to express the states of excess or defect which his theory involves (for example in dealing with the virtue of ambition).

		Over seventy poetic forms are covered, and each section includes: an explanation of the form, discussion of any variations on the form, at least one literary example, and reference to other prominent examples and/or poets who use the form.

		it is simultaneously a good introduction to poetic forms (and poetry in general), a quick reference for the more advanced student, and a source of inspiration for practicing poets.

	Poetic Forms: A Poetry Workshop
		In this workshop we’re going to explore issues of "form" in poetry by working in, against, and through a number of traditional poetic structures: quatrains, sonnets, blank verse, villanelles, sestinas, and a few others.
		But what the demands of the form also create are opportunities for the writer to revise that line (and no line ought to be so precious that it can’t be re-thought).
		That there is the clear pattern of sound arising out of most forms is a kind of added bonus, especially for the writer who’s used to working in the generally muted sound of free verse.

	Forms (Sol Magazine)
		The chant is one of the earliest forms of poetry, dating to prehistoric time, when cavefolk made incantations to protect themselves from storms, fires, wild creatures, and to help in the hunt, to find good mates, to keep the children safe and well, and to teach about those who went before.
		The basic form is four stanzas of four lines each, in which each line of the first stanza is consecutively repeated as the first line of each of the other stanzas, and allows for a variation where an extra final line may be included.
		EXPANDED FORM: As long as there are a minimum of four lines and four stanzas, and the lines of the first stanza are used as the opening lines of the successive stanzas, the poem may be considered a Lilibonelle.

	A Handbook of Rhetorical Devices
		Litotes, a particular form of understatement, is generated by denying the opposite or contrary of the word which otherwise would be used.
		Even a blind man can see, as the saying is, that poetic language gives a certain grandeur to prose, except that some writers imitate the poets quite openly, or rather they do not so much imitate them as transpose their words into their own work, as Herodotus does.
		Metonymy is another form of metaphor, very similar to synecdoche (and, in fact, some rhetoricians do not distinguish between the two), in which the thing chosen for the metaphorical image is closely associated with (but not an actual part of) the subject with which it is to be compared.

	EXPERIMENTS

		Use any of these experiments that involve as source text as a way of reading through already existing poems; that is, as interactive tools for "creative reading." As an extention, study poems via the modes of "Deformative Criticism" (the term is from Jerome McGann and Lisa Samuel).

	internet culture
		This metaphor of colonization should be understood carefully, however, as she is not suggesting that Professor Sherry Turkle, sociologist and MIT professor, should be left behind in favor of a new life as the cybernaut ST on LambdaMOO.
		That suggestion comes from an extreme form of inherence utopianism about the Internet, or it is the equally extreme suggestion of inherence dystopian theorists, like Mark Slouka in War of the Worlds[17], who diagnose the Internet experience as equivalent to wholescale departure from everyday reality.
		Leaving one subscription list and joining another, for example, is trivial, and the newcomer's added presence brings with it no burdens, especially if he is ``lurking,'' or at most the nuisance that the others on the list must delete the newcomer's unwanted contributions to the discussion.
