Arya
John Keats was an English poet born in 1795 who had an active poetic career from ages 22 to 26. In this short period, he produced substantial original poetry that secured his place among English poets. His poems were noted for their melancholy tone, imagination, and sensual themes. Keats died of tuberculosis in 1821. "On the Grasshopper and the Cricket" is a symbolic sonnet where the grasshopper represents summer and the cricket represents winter. The poem asserts that the music of nature is never dead, as the grasshopper sings while hopping between hedges in summer and the cricket sings loudly in winter to provide company during loneliness. Though the singers are different, their tunes express love
Asian
China has the largest population of any country and a long history of literature dating back over 3,000 years.

The Merits of Shakespeare's The Tempest as a Poem - إمكانية إعتبار مسرحية ’ال...
The Tempest is one of the greatest comic plays of the English writer William Shakespeare. The significance of this play, I feel, is not only being a drama but also poetic. This study attempts to disclose the poetic elements of the play as proof to be called a long poem. The paper is an attempt to show the formations of poetry in the play and to ascertain the dominance of verse such as blank verse in Shakespeare’s time, which was introduced in place of the rhyme, and poetic variations such as accent variation, inversion, deletion of syllables, and additional syllables.
The researcher applies the critical and analytical approach as a literary technique of the study. The paper starts with an introduction about Shakespeare and the composing of The Tempest; then, it sheds light briefly on some verse instances. Afterward, the point is shifted to illustrate the core of the study Discussion on Making Verse in which the researcher sheds light on some essential poetic elements such as blank verse, normal variations, and sporadic variations as instances proofing his arguments.

Under the Greenwood Tree by Monir Hossen
William Shakespeare is one of the greatest dramatists of all time. This document discusses his famous pastoral comedy "As You Like It", specifically analyzing a song from the play called "Under the Greenwood Tree". The song celebrates the simple pleasures of living in nature under a tree, listening to birdsong. It invites people to escape the difficulties of ambition and city life, and instead find peace and satisfaction in nature.

- 4. A haiku poem consists of three lines, with the first and last line having 5 moras, and the middle line having 7. A mora is a sound unit, much like a syllable, but is not identical to it. In English, haiku adaptations use syllables as moras. Basics of haiku form

- 8. The silence of haiku, its wordlessness, its mysteriousness, also has its roots in Buddhist culture, especially in Zen. Most poetry written by haiku masters has a quality of actuality, of the moment seized on and rendered purely. Cultural roots
- 9. The spirit of haiku required that the language be kept plain. It also demanded accurate and original images, drawn mostly from common life. A haiku traditionally contains a kigo, a defined word or phrase that symbolizes or implies the season of the poem. Cultural roots
- 10. Choshu Down the river the sound of a net thrown— a hazy moon. The moon in the water; broken and broken again, still it is there. The moon in the water turned a somersault and floated away. Taigi Ryota
