What are the characteristics of the language of poetry?

The language of poetry not only meets the language requirements of general literary works, but also pays attention to simplicity, harmony and musicality, which is often very different from spoken language in grammatical structure and tone arrangement. Poetry should reflect social life in a highly concentrated and general way, so it is particularly strict in the use of language, and even requires that every word has a strong expressive force, express the most intensive thoughts and feelings with the most appropriate words, and express the richest content with the most economical words. This requires the poet to extract enough words from the "mineral deposits of thousands of tons of languages" to express the content of the poem and write it word by word with a thousand pounds of pen and ink. With the ups and downs of feelings and the release of imagination, poetry often naturally forms a distinct rhythm and harmonious rhythm, which is catchy and sonorous to read, easy to stimulate readers' emotions, arouse readers' imagination, and easy to remember and sing.

Needless to say, classical metrical poems must first have a rhythm and a similar rhyme, which is easy for everyone to remember, read smoothly and sing. Due to the limitation of prosody and prosody, poetry sometimes lacks a predicate and sometimes a subject, and the change of word order is complicated, which does not damage the meaning of poetry. Readers can also form an image in their minds through their own imagination, or supplement omitted or connected changes.
