In our modern age of innovative technologies, the crazy pace of everyday life, it may seem that poetry does not exist, that it does not seem to be needed, and this will be partly true. Poetry has almost depreciated, weathered, swept away along with modern trends and this is sad, but not everything is as bad as it seems.

Yes, the era of romanticism is long over, that infinitely beautiful, reverent attitude to poetry is gone, when they were highly valued by the common people and critics, when people read and drank the lines, so harmoniously, so harmoniously running one after another ... Hugo, John Keats, Goethe, Edgar Poe, Pushkin, Lermontov and many others, whose work has always been and will remain an example for our contemporaries. But how many people need poetry now?

We are interested in cinema, we are interested in endless online games and the Internet is sucked in by the terrible power of on the shelves, with rustling pages and its own history, but do we really need poetry in its pure form, not seasoned with music, true and somewhere even cruel, desperate and beautiful?

No matter how it may seem at first glance, it is needed, and it is, moreover, it will always be, albeit almost imperceptible against the background of the modern world, but never ceasing to penetrate into every corner of it, catching its splendor more and more new readers and connoisseurs the world of poetry. And she will always be born in her updated variations, albeit a little modernized, diluted with a bit of that new that penetrates into our constantly developing world, but therefore no less beautiful, because each time has its own charm, its own unique trends, its own style.

If you look on the Internet, then in a well-known way you can find a lot of both low-quality attempts to be a poet, and really worthwhile poetry, and even entire sites of authors posting their creations. It's not a secret for anyone that many begin to try themselves in poetry from that very beautiful moment when they fall in love for the first time, and someone later really discovers this gift in themselves, someone tries to develop it, and someone understands, that nothing will work. Perhaps, among those amateurs who are writing now, there are poets whose work really deserves special attention and even worldwide publicity. One thing is clear - poetry will never cease to be, just as not a single sphere of human existence will cease to be, giving him something more than just being a primitive philistine, drowning in prosaicity. Poetry makes you feel like a part of the high, it, like music, allows you to express those depths and those unspoken feelings that sometimes require an exit, which pour out of us and often fall into the lines themselves.

In general, take a closer look, because poetry is actually everywhere: She silently dwells in the beautiful landscape of the evening beach, she is in the unfolding freshness and colors of an early summer morning, in the wind that drives gloomy waves, she is in the glare of snowflakes sparkling in the sun and in a child, chasing a kite, she is even in the incessant stream of cars, in the light of the headlights of which a wall of rain stubbornly crashes into the road, and of course she is in love.

The world will collapse without art, of which poetry is undoubtedly an integral part, and we must always remember this.

Dear friends! Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper and Koster9raquo magazine; invite you to take part in a kind and necessary project.

A.S. Pushkin on the role and purpose of the poet and poetry

Perhaps one of the most important questions facing artists, writers, poets is their understanding of the role of art and literature in the life of society. Do people need poetry? What is her role? Is it enough to have a poetic gift to become a poet? These questions deeply worried Pushkin. His reflections on this topic were fully and deeply embodied in his poems. Seeing the imperfection of the world, the poet thinks about whether it is possible to change it by means of the artistic word, to whom is given "the fate of ornateness a formidable gift."

Pushkin embodies his idea of ​​the ideal image of the poet in the poem "The Prophet". But the poet is not born a prophet, but becomes one. This path is full of excruciating trials and sufferings, which are preceded by the bitter reflections of the Pushkin hero about the evil that is firmly rooted in human society and with which he cannot come to terms. The poet's condition suggests that he is not indifferent to what is happening around him and at the same time is powerless to change anything. It is to such a person who is "tormented by spiritual thirst" that the messenger of God - the "six-winged seraphim" appears. Pushkin dwells in detail and in detail on how the hero is reborn into a prophet, at what cruel price he acquires the qualities necessary for a true poet. He must see and hear what is inaccessible to the sight and hearing of ordinary people. And these qualities endows him with the "six-winged seraphim", touching him with "light fingers, like a dream." But such careful gentle movements open the whole world to the hero, tearing off the veil of secrecy from him.

And I heeded the shudder of the sky,

And the high flight of angels,

And a reptile underwater passage,

And the vegetation of the valley vine.

You need to have a lot of courage to absorb all the suffering and all the diversity of the world. But if the first actions of the seraphim inflict only moral pain on the poet, now physical suffering is added to it.

And he clung to my lips

And tore out my sinful tongue,

And idle and crafty,

And the sting of a wise snake

My frozen lips

Inserted with a bloody right hand.

This means that the new quality acquired by the poet - wisdom - is given to him through suffering. And this is no coincidence. Indeed, in order to become wise, a person must go through the difficult path of searches, mistakes, disappointments, having experienced numerous blows of fate. Therefore, perhaps, length in time is equated in the poem with physical suffering.

Can a poet become a prophet, possessing, besides poetic talent, only knowledge and wisdom? No, for a quivering human heart is capable of being questioned, it can shrink with fear or pain and thereby prevent it from fulfilling a great and noble mission. Therefore, the seraphim performs the last and most cruel act by placing "coal, blazing with fire" into the poet's dissected chest. It is symbolic that only now the prophet hears the voice of the Almighty, giving him the purpose and meaning of life.

And God's voice called to me:

"Rise, prophet, and see and hear,

Be fulfilled by my will

And, bypassing the seas and lands,

Burn people's hearts with the verb. "

Thus, poetry, in the mind of Pushkin, does not exist for the delight of the elect; it is a powerful means of transforming society, for it brings people the ideals of goodness, justice and love.

The entire creative life of Pushkin was a vivid evidence of the fidelity of his thoughts. His bold free poetry protested against the oppression of the people, called for the struggle for their freedom. She supported the spirit of the exiled Decembrist friends, instilled in them courage and fortitude. The poet speaks of this in his poem "Arion", which recreates the tragic events of 1825 in allegorical form.

Leaning on the steering wheel, our helmsman is smart

The overweight canoe ruled in silence;

And I - full of careless faith -

Despite the death of the Decembrist swimmers, singer Arion remains faithful to his noble mission, preaching the ideals of freedom and justice. "I sing the old hymns," he declares in a poem.

In the later works of Pushkin, more and more often there are reflections about the frailty of human life, about its transience, a presentiment of imminent death. The time has come to take stock of one's creative activity, to objectively assess the significance of poetry. In the poem "Monument", written in 1836, Pushkin expresses confidence that the people of Russia will preserve the memory of him. The right to immortality is given to the poet by the "monument not made by hands" created by him, because he has always been the voice of his people, his prophet.

And for a long time I will be so kind to the people,

That I awakened good feelings with my lyre,

That in my cruel age I have glorified freedom

And he called for mercy to the fallen.

In these lines, Pushkin very succinctly and succinctly speaks about the meaning and purpose of his poetry, seeing his main merit in the fact that, like the poet-prophet, he awakened in people kindness, mercy, the desire for freedom and justice. Therefore, having come into contact with the humanistic Pushkin's poetry, we feel the need to become better, cleaner, we learn to see beauty and harmony around us. This means that poetry is really capable of transforming the world.

Essay on the topic "Poetry in a person's life"

What are words? Just what helps us understand each other. What is poetry? This is the element in which we can express our thoughts without fear of judgment or misunderstanding. When a muse visits a person or inspiration comes, he can no longer be held back - energy and lines beat from within, rip out the heart and ask for paper.

And so, an inspired person picks up any writing instrument and begins to create. In this case, the streams of necessary words fall on the sheets in even columns, emphasizing the endings of words with rhyme for consonance. But not only rhyme is in poetry, there is also life, human life that surrounds us or that we want to create.

Basically, poetry is verse. But often this term means everything that is beautiful that surrounds us, that inspires us to feats and gives us wisdom. It would be difficult to imagine the work of such great literary figures as Pushkin, for whom the poetic meter and rhymed lines served as an expression of his own emotions, the release of his wild energy of feelings and an unusual perception of reality. And Mayakovsky, for whom poetry became the "conductor" stick in the "orchestra" of the human spirit, inviting them to exploits and showing them reality. Also, Ukrainian poets honored rhymed lines, expressing their thoughts, showing people with hidden meaning the true faces of those whom they so blindly and sacredly believed. This is Shevchenko, and Kotlyarevsky, and many others who, "armed" with the word, brought peace and celebration to human souls and hearts, showed the cruelty of reality and the boundless fantasy of the human mind.

Thanks to poetry, people can both express and accept a lot that haunts their life and hurts their hearts. But not everyone is given control over the word, like some kind of tool of labor, only the truly worthy are able to kindle a fire of passion and power of spirit in the souls of people with rhymes and lines.

1. Introductory speech of the teacher:

Poetry is one of the most ancient arts in human history. Nobody knows when poetry was born. But people have a desire to express their feelings in a non-ordinary language. This is how the first verses are born.

21st century BC Ancient egyptem - the famous song of the harpist, translated by Akhmatova. A student reads against the background of a sounding harp What are these verses about? What worries the poet? Answer you - the young generation of the 21st century AD.

Follow the desires of your heart, While you exist, Smell your head with myrrh, Dress in the finest fabrics, Treat yourself with the most wonderful incense From the sacrifices of the gods. Increase your wealth ... Do your deeds on earth At the behest of your heart, Until that day of mourning comes to you. hears their screams and cries, Lamentations do not save anyone from the grave. So celebrate a beautiful day And do not exhaust yourself. See, no one took their property with them. See, none of those who left came back.

Poets were called prophets. In ancient times, there were poets who awakened the secret life of forests with the wondrous sounds of words; revived plant seeds and created blooming gardens; tamed ferocious beasts and softened the souls of wild nations. By the magic of words, poets brought down to earth higher beings who revealed to them the secret of the future. Poets tried to discover the secret of the future with the help of only their subject language, artistic images. This is how great names were born - Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, Goethe, Pushkin, Lermontov…. We remember the golden age of Russian poetry, the silver age, the poets of the sixties.

March 21 is celebratedWorld Pole Dayezia, establishedUNESCO in 1999. And it seemsthere is something to be happy aboutwhen bnot question: who needs it now? Is there still a demand for it when the average circulation of a poetry collection is 300 copies? And this is in the once-most reading country in the world!

Video fragment - channel culture, program "cultural revolution" topic: "Poetry is not needed today"

Poetry is not needed today!Lost the habit of seeing the meaning between the linesAnd no one is happy with the stanzaIts size up and down,Beautiful words are fading into the pastGreat poems are fading awayPoets of genius mindMagicians of the divine line,A relentless time for changeWITHruins the gift in Calliope's people,The screen comes for reading in return,And the books will soon be consumed by fire ...Oh how dangerous this transition isOt tthe whispers and rustling of pages ...ANDmaybetomorrowallpoetry will go awayA path of forgotten profiles and faces.

We will not debate today on the topic of whether poetry is needed or not. The purpose of the lesson is for you to think about the role of poetry in modern society and the reasons that affect the fact that modern man ceases to be interested in poetry. but there is another goal: I would like poetry to become the main mistress of this study for 45 minutes. And so that you, touching it, feel its beauty, be able to think about some questions, look into yourself.

During the classes

1. Students light candles and recite the verses they have chosen for this lesson (if they want, they can explain their choice)

2. discussion in a circle, share our impressions.

3. Students receive cards with statements from different people about the meaning of poetry, its role in the modern world and give their comments.

Output: Why are we meeting today?Are such lessons necessary? Are you interested in any poet?

Closing remarks from the teacher:

Poetry should not be imposed, but it should not be forgotten. For this is our tradition, our history, our pride.

It should be said about poetry “howneed”. Thus began a serious conversation about her, in which the reader and the poet were brought up for several centuries.

Poetry cannot be liked - it can be liked. She measures a person herself, reads him like a book, a poem cut in her own way. Endlessly indulgent, she gives everyone time and waits. She has time.

You have time too, dear oneseleventh graders!

Poetry of our days does not carry a certain loudness, now cinema rules the minds, live concerts, music videos and computer games. The only place where poetry is popularized, albeit with a slight change in concept, is the musical-poetic genre of hip-hop. Young performers in the lyrics talk about their difficult life or, conversely, about a happy glamorous one. But in these verses, in general, there is little high, beautiful, more and more chernohi, porn and debauchery.

Of course, today there are many resources on the Internet, which are libraries of both Russian classical poetry and modern poetry. Although it looks more and more like warehouses, there is a lot of "dust" on them - and the main, main (necessarily young) seeker, the hero of our time, will not concentrate on some "dubious" type of information, he will rather climb where fashionable, cool, cool, a lot of pictures, photos, videos and it smells like big money.

AlexanderTenenbaum

Poetry has an independent source of life. Poetry states the presence of Beauty or its absence - nothing more. Beauty has no purpose; it exists according to the law of internal expediency. In the presence of poetry, today they feel uncomfortable, uncomfortable, unnatural. Such a feeling covers small shkodniks in the presence of a well-mannered person. If objects and phenomena begin to be called by their own names, first of all, according to D. Orwell's formula, this will happen in modern poetry. If the genre ladder is turned upside down, it is not known whether the words are worth trusting at all.

Conversations about poetry, which did not begin with the words “not needed,” were born as a memory of a journey to an unknown land. It was disastrous there, it was north, but not words, and an unearthly reflection on the narrator's face was remembered by the listener, prompting him to look for the same impressions. Each one found his own. Many were left with nothing, but no one was deceived.

One should speak about poetry “as needed”. Thus began a serious conversation about her, in which the reader and the poet were brought up for several centuries.

Poetry cannot be liked - it can be liked. She measures a person herself, reads him like a book, a poem cut in her own way. Endlessly indulgent, she gives everyone time and waits. She has time.

Vitaly Pukhanov

The first half of the 19th century was the Golden Age of Russian poetry - there is no doubt about that. There is no doubt so much that the term "Golden Age" became the designation of that era, even in textbooks. Pushkin, Derzhavin and Lermontov are only small parts of the flourishing of poetic culture that prevailed in those ancient times. In the second half of the 19th century, there was a slight decline. Yes, there were talented and even brilliant poets, and they are in textbooks, but there were not so many almanacs, poetic communities, there was no new step in the development of the art of versification. The second half of the 19th century was the logical development of the Golden Age.

The first half of the 20th century became the Silver Age of Russian poetry - and this also became the term for the textbook. New genres, new styles and words - Tsvetaeva, Akhmatova, Gumilyov, Bryusov, even Mayakovsky's torn lines - this is the Silver Age, a new milestone in development, a step forward. And again, the second half of the 20th century became a logical development. Geniuses appear - Brodsky, Akhmadullina, but these are single geniuses, not united. This is a consequence of the Silver Age.

What are words? Just what helps us understand each other. What is poetry? This is the element in which we can express our thoughts without fear of judgment or misunderstanding. When a person is visited by a muse or inspiration comes, he can no longer be held back - energy and lines beat

From the inside, they rip out the heart and ask for paper.

And so, an inspired person picks up any writing instrument and begins to create. In this case, the streams of necessary words fall on the sheets in even columns, emphasizing the endings of words with rhyme for consonance. But not only rhyme is in poetry, there is also life, human life that surrounds us or that we want to create.

Basically, poetry is verse. But often this term means everything that is beautiful that surrounds us, that inspires us to feats and gives us wisdom. It would be difficult to imagine the work of such great literary figures as Pushkin, for

Which poetic meter and rhymed lines served as an expression of their own emotions, the release of their wild energy of feelings and an unusual perception of reality. And Mayakovsky, for whom poetry became the “conductor's” baton in the “orchestra” of the human spirit, inviting them to feats and showing them reality. Also, Ukrainian poets honored rhymed lines, expressing their thoughts, showing people with hidden meaning the true faces of those whom they so blindly and sacredly believed. This is Shevchenko, and Kotlyarevsky, and many others who, "armed" with the word, brought peace and celebration to human souls and hearts, showed the cruelty of reality and the boundless fantasy of the human mind.

Through poetry, people can express what disturbs their soul. What is the role of poetry in human life? Viktor Petrovich Astafiev, an outstanding Soviet and Russian writer, ponders this problem.

The power of poetry is immense. The author believes that she is capable of awakening a person, touching every particle of his soul. In support of these words, he describes a whirlwind of emotions from listening to Yesenin's poem: "... from every cell of the body a drop of blood rises to the heart, pricks it, fills it with tears and bitter delight ...". Viktor Petrovich says that poems bring people closer, thanks to them, even strangers can become relatives. To illustrate his opinion, the author talks about how poetry brought him closer to Yesenin, as if they had known each other for a long time. Each person can find in the works of poets something familiar, meaningful only for him.

V.P. Astafiev leads readers to the conclusion: poetry is an amazing thing, it raises us above the world of everyday life, everyday life and enriches us spiritually, helps to be kinder.

Poets are not afraid to write about something new, to fight for a better, brighter future .. In their works they write about the problems of society. I remember the book by A.S. Pushkin's "Liberty". He openly calls on oppressed people to fight for their freedom, criticizes current laws and government. His works inspired future Decembrists who were destined to change society. Poetry is a force that can influence the world and the worldview of people.

Many poets in their writings touch upon topics that some prefer to remain silent about. I remember the work of M.Yu. Lermontov "The Death of a Poet". Mikhail Yurievich admired the work of A.S. Pushkin, whose death made a huge impression on him. He was not afraid of the consequences and truthfully told about this event. Poetry helps to find out how the ancestors lived and what worried them.

A person may not have a favorite poet, but everyone has a poem that did not leave him indifferent.
