Literary Terms Poem by Xelam Kan™

Literary Terms



A cliche in the form of Meiosis
but avoid any hyperbole and lampoon.
Ah! these literary terms made me
totally blank to verse any line
or trim any of rhyme, so better to draw
some images in figurative language
or speech in metaphors.
To me
life is not a conceit nor comedy
but a juxtaposition of myth and truth;
and actually a paradox
that planned spontaneously.
a Pun! no way...
but a sarcasm, to chastise
the poets' Art (including of john) .
and sorry to forget
all the sweet meters and couplets.
so, here I
intentionally employed a trope and
a verbal irony but no Deus ex Machina.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

a fun write, indeed! but the line says all: Ah! these literary terms made me totally blank -to verse any line or trim any of rhyme...the art of poetry runs in veins rather than coming out of brains, ...the conscious effort is not meaningless completely as Altaf Hussain Haali focuses both on the naturally revealed poetry (aamad) and consciously made poetry (aaward) equally...poets know these terms or not but they keep on using the concepts as a natural flow coming out of minds!
