“Every heart sings a song, incomplete until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.” – Plato
History of Poet’s Day
The history and origin of Poet’s Day are anonymous. The title itself makes it evident that this day is celebrated as a form of tribute or honor to the world’s most creative personalities who write poems. A poet is a person who will write poetry, and they may describe themselves as Poets, or others will describe them as such. A poet may solely be a writer of poetry or may perform their art to an audience. The poem by a poet is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language. It includes sound symbolism, phonaesthetics, and meter that elicit the meanings in addition to, or in place of, the prosaic ostensible meaning. The poem by a poet is a form of communication that either expresses his ideas in the literal sense bringing out the meanings deeper rather than giving the mere definition of the words. Poets have lived since antiquity in all languages, and their poem creativity varies considerably according to the different cultures and time periods they lived.
Poets of prehistoric times were usually well-learned and highly educated people, whereas others were, to a large extent of, self-educated people. Poetry in the ancient period is defined as Aristotle’s Poetics, which focused on the practices of speech in rhetoric, drama, song, and comedy. During each civilization and language, poets have used different styles that have changed through the course of literary history, thus resulting in a history of poets as diverse as the literature they have written. Since the mid-20th century, poetry has been more generally regarded sometimes as a fundamentally creative act of employing language. Poets often adapt forms, styles, and techniques in today’s increasingly globalized world from different cultures and languages. The one most notable person who best relates to the poet’s day is William Shakespeare who was an English poet. He is often named as England’s national poet and has a title called “Bard of Avon.” Shakespeare’s body of work is now the foundation for the study of poetry in colleges everywhere in the world, and his work is considered to be the supreme pinnacle of art by many people.
