The poems and prose: Rhymes of childhood

Paperback (Leopold Classic Library Sept. 2, 2015)
About the Book

Poetry is a form of literature that applies aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language (phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre) to elicit emotion and meanings in addition to, or in place of, the ostensible sound / meaning. The sonnet is of the most common forms of poetry, which was popular from the Late Middle Ages. By the 13th century the sonnet was standardized as fourteen lines following a set rhyme and logical structure. Odes were first developed by poets writing in ancient Greek, like Pindar, or in Latin, like Horace. Odes appear in many of the cultures that were influenced by Ancient Greece and Rome. An elegy is a melancholy mournful poem, which may be a lament for the dead.
