Discover How To Use Symbols In Poetry

By Dora Reed


Poetic symbolism has previously been used in various pieces and by different poets as it is a great style of passing a message across while still ensuring that the piece remains interesting. Basically, symbols in poetry are like metaphors where certain events or experiences are compared to objects or things that the audience can relate to in order to drive the message home but still use their knowledge to understand the hidden message.

As seen over the past years, poetry is a growing art that is progressively gaining significant amount of popularity and appreciation at least just like most artistic creations. Moreover, there has been evolution whereby the style is changing and poets are now fusing poems with music and calling the spoken word which is evidently appreciated as seen by their response from audiences.

One of the basic elements of poems is the use of rhyming word; moreover the words not just rhyme but should also make sense of the theme they follow. In other words, as much as the rhymes might be flowing, having verses that stick to a certain theme is critical. Just like in other artistic works, poets are known to have distinctive style in regards to their presentation, writing and sometimes both. However, it has been apparent that the style adopted by poets of today is better as it seems to attract more audiences than previous versions.

Poets are more of communicators and entertainers. Basically, they apply their talent and skills of using words to describe feelings, events, situations and different experiences letting others relive them. Connecting with the audience is usually crucial during performances and therefore one should be able to use their body language and facial expression to display emotions in order to pass the message across.

The purpose of these pieces is usually to not only entertain but also inspire aiding the betterment of the lives of people who come across them. Most pieces are usually written from personal experience or just experiences of other; this therefore is a reflection of life which basically is meant to empower and wisen those come across them.

Moreover, poem writing can also be a means of expression whereby one reveals their inner emotions and share them to others who may possibly also be experiencing the same. Therefore, some may seem joyful, others sad while others melancholic which are all preferred by different audiences who are of different tastes and preferences.

Words can be powerful and hold great wisdom that is eye opening to the way of life; this is empowering and impactful to people inspired by these poems. Most writers tend to adopt a writing style that uses metaphors and a way of comparing things while making sense to other things. This style is meant to somewhat hide the message, leaving to the audience to crack these metaphors.

Nowadays, poets of this era have been seen to be supported by huge followers unlike in the past and in this case youngsters being their greatest fans. Conversely, the internet has been indispensable in aiding the sharing of poems from different poets to their fans whereby different fan bases have structured a community that love this art and as a result inspiring more people to pursue it.
