It is widely believed that poetry is the finest form of literary art. An avid reader of poems will always argue that this is at least the best form among other literary forms. But what is poetry? It is very strange that no one has so far been able to give a definition of poetry acceptable to all. Poetry has in fact a very great diversity and dimension of traits. One definition is not enough to cover them all. They are constantly expanding. New things with new dimensions are always introduced there. However, the purpose of this article is not to define poetry or to talk about all the characteristics of poetry. Rather, it is about exploring the role of music in poetry. How does music affect poetry?

Let’s start with the question, how does poetry relate to music? To be precise, the music flowing within the meaning words arranged in a poem is the asset that turns the collection of words used to express something into a poem. This musical flow is created by the sounds of words used together. If we read a poem carefully, paying attention to everything that happens to us while reading, we can feel that there is a melody that links the words with a musical rhythm. It can be best perceived when we read a rhyme. Even a free verse that is devoid of a rhyming ending has a certain musical flow that is made up of word sounds. It sometimes reaches its peak when the poet is aware of the musical aspects of the words used. Some believe that the spontaneous expression of emotions and intellect makes the flow of music better than when it is composed consciously. Either way, one thing is obvious: without the musical flow, a poem is just a collection of words meant to express something.

Poetry has historically adopted this characteristic. It is known to all that modern poetry is a higher form of the ancient lyrics which were actually sung with the lyre. These words were in fact used to present higher philosophical things in a simple and pleasant way. Since that time, music has always been an inseparable part of poetry. The best poetry in all of literature has musical elements.

Poets use certain tools to weave musical threads into poetry. Row counters are a popular device. Those who prefer free verse use words with subtle discretion to produce a continuous rhythmic flow. And so, a poem is animated by the musical fluid. Young poets who have just started to compose poems should learn more and acquire this skill on their own. They should also pay attention to the inner music of all living things, to the harmony of living things, to the sounds produced all around so that they can invent their own music to merge into poetry.
