While exploring the poetic works introduced in the article 'The Beauty of Poetry', I was particularly impressed by the evocative nature of poetic language. Unlike the language used in prose, poetic language leans more towards suggestion than direct description. Therefore, poetic language embodies a high degree of evocativeness. The limited space in poetry requires each poet to laboriously refine meaning to create a compelling poem. Each word in poetry is the result of the artist's filtering process to reflect the multidimensional reality and the complex inner world of humanity. The vitality and allure of poetry lie in the restriction of the word count while still eliciting a myriad of emotions and thoughts.

Melody is the element that makes me feel intrigued and captivated when reading some of the works introduced in the article 'The Beauty of Poetry'. Melody is understood as the arrangement of the sound elements of language to give the text the semblance of music (intonation, rhythm). The melody in poetry comes from the arrangement of rhyme, rhythm, pause, tonal harmony, etc. This is the factor that leads to the difference between poetic language and language in prose, as well as the similarity between poetry and music. Melody in poetry not only arouses auditory impressions but also evokes emotions in the reader. The world of sound has fully and vividly expressed the fluctuations in the soul and emotions of the poet. Therefore, the philosopher Von-te affirmed: 'Poetry is the music of the soul'.
