Is poetry a representation of narrative or is narrative a representation

>>8689291
You don't know what representation means

>>8689291

I think the essence of narrative is essentially "telling story"

I think the essence of poetry is essentially "expression"

Narrative can be (is?) poetry

Poetry can be narrative

How am I using it incorrectly? The question is which mimics the other and thus is less real than the other. Its Platonic you dweeb.

poetry is a complex simple representation of the narrative of a representative poetry see the narrative within poetry manifests itself through poetry's narration I mean the significance here signify the signifier through a significant narration

Poetry mimics speech, narrative mimics thought.

narrative =/= prose

thanks in advance

>>8689721
Nobody was talking about prose.

Poetry often needs to be vocalized to be activated, and indeed relies on the sound of the words for their emotive power and effectiveness. Therefore it mimics song and speech. I wouldn't be surprised if poetic traditions derived from earlier, illiterate oral traditions.
I had to assign narrative to something in order to refute OP's assumption that one mimics the other, so thought I thought.

"yes they were"

Thanks anon. I think I agree with you about poetry. I asked for details because the part about narrative reminded me of what Tristan Tzara wrote, that thought is made in the mouth.
Also because coupling narrative with thought make for funny variations.

>>8689291
nobody gives a fuck about poetry

Can a poem be written that is not narrative?

Or does a single word necessitate the telling of story? The calling of attention to the awareness of the awareness of reality/history?

Poetics is symbolic construction which is generative of meaning(s), poetry is what we call poetics applied linguistically (orally, literary).

Narrative doesn't necessarily relate to "poetry" in any way, unless one narrativizes the process of meaning making. This is often called "theory" which is, as it turns out, is a form of poetics. All narratives are poetics, not all narratives are poetry.

>>8689291
Neither, depending on the poem.

Neither.

Get this freshman-tier wankery out of here.

Poetry is in its own fucking world; don't mess with poetry.
