| | Poetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Poetry (ancient Greek: ποιεω (poieo) = I create) is traditionally a written art form (although there is also an ancient and modern poetry which relies mainly upon oral or pictorial representations) in which human language is used for its aesthetic qualities in addition to, or instead of, its notional and semantic content. | | | Many of the scriptures currently held to be sacred by contemporary religious traditions with their roots in antiquity were composed as poetry rather than prose to aid memorization and help guarantee the accuracy of oral transmission in pre-literate societies. | | | The increased emphasis on the aesthetics of language and the deliberate use of features such as repetition, meter and rhyme, are what are commonly used to distinguish poetry from prose, but debates over such distinctions still persist, while the issue is confounded by such forms as prose poetry and poetic prose. |

| | Encyclopedia: Old English poetry |
| | The Dream of the Rood is one of the earliest Christian poems in the corpus of Old English poetry and an intriguing example of the genre of dream poetry. | | | Old English poetry is based upon one system of verse construction which was used for all poems. | | | Old English poetry, along with other early Germanic literatures, often seeks to recast the tales of Christianity into the older heroic ethos. |

| | Building Blocks of Old English Poetry |
| | There are even modern English verse translations of Old English poetry, but keep in mind that most of these do not follow the rules of Old English verse. | | | The Norton Anthology of English Literature I also has an impressive collection of later medieval works (Chaucer in the original Middle English) as well as Renaissance ones, and the introductions are especially good. | | | In Old English poetry, however, the third stressed syllable MUST alliterate with either the first or the second. |
