提起诗歌,人们自然会想到声步和韵律。诗歌之所以成为诗歌是因为它有独特的形式。诗歌的文字经精心排列而形成音乐性,经上下左右的组合而获得特殊效果。然而,诗歌也是由文字构成的,它要表达作者的意思和情感。也就是说,每一首诗,除了其固有的特性以外,都含有作者的意图,此所谓“诗言志”也。所以,每一首诗都有一个“可改写的意义”(paraphrasable meaning)。这就是我们所说的诗歌主题。那么,有没有无主题的诗歌呢?有,英文叫作nonsense verse。爱德华·李 When you pick up poetry, people naturally think of pace and rhythm.

The words of the poem are carefully arranged to form the musicality, and the special effect is obtained through the combination of up, down, left and right. However, poetry is also composed of words, it is to express the author’s meaning and emotion. In other words, each poem, except its inherent characteristics, contains the author’s intention, the so-called So, every poem has a “paraphrasable meaning.” This is what we call the theme of poetry. So, is there any topicless poetry? Yes, English is called nonsense verse. Edward Lee
