A Journey into the World of Emotions

Poetry, a delicate art of language, has existed and developed for thousands of years. From dreamy lyrical poems to powerful, heroic verses, poetry always has a strange appeal, touching the hearts and souls of readers. It is the voice of humanity, reflecting the ups and downs of life, love, sadness, joy, hope, and aspirations.

Diverse Genres of Poetry

Classical Poetry (e.g., Đường Luật):

With strict rules regarding the number of lines, characters, and rhymes, classical poetry demands skill and talent from the writer. However, this very strictness creates a dignified and majestic beauty for the work.

Free Verse:

And many other genres:

In addition, there are many other poetic genres such as song thất lục bát, haiku (Japan), sonnet (Europe and America), etc., each genre has its own characteristics, contributing to enriching the world’s poetic treasure.
