====Poet==== {{Main|Poet}} {{Quote box |width = 22em |border = 1px |align = right |fontsize = 90% |salign = center |quote = <poem> '''I Will Write'''<br /> He had done for her all that a man could, And some might say, more than a man should, Then was ever a flame so recklessly blown out Or a last goodbye so negligent as this? βI will write to you,' she muttered briefly, Tilting her cheek for a polite kiss; Then walked away, nor ever turned about. ... Long letters written and mailed in her own head β There are no mails in a city of the dead.<br /> [[Robert Graves]]<ref name=Graves>{{cite book|last=Graves|first=Robert|title=Poems Selected by Himself|year=1957|publisher=Penguin Books|page=204|author-link=Robert Graves}}</ref> </poem> }} Poets make maximum use of the language to achieve an emotional and sensory effect as well as a cognitive one. To create these effects, they use [[rhyme]] and rhythm and they also apply the properties of words with a range of other techniques such as [[alliteration]] and [[assonance]]. A common topic is love and its vicissitudes. [[Shakespeare]]'s best-known love story ''[[Romeo and Juliet]]'', for example, written in a variety of poetic forms, has been performed in innumerable theaters and made into at least eight cinematic versions.<ref>1936, 1954, 1955, 1966, 1968, 1978, 2013, 2014. [https://www.imdb.com/find?q=Romeo+and+Juliet&s=all IMDb listing.]</ref> [[John Donne]] is another poet renowned for his love poetry.
