When we carefully look into the definitions given by poets and critics of the past, we understand that all attempts to define poetry inclined towards becoming an attempt to define poetic language. But in the explanations of the poets and critics of our time, the consciousness and concern about language is at its highest. Yet, all views are only partial. Poetry refuses to be contained within the grammar provided by structuralism or deconstruction. It thrives and survives, despite the definitions provided by time. Basuwayya's poem points to this:
Write you, your poem
- Nagore Rumi
