Yliakumised Literary Forms.

[Kieve]

Socius, when I stated that writings should be defined by race, I did not mean it in a 'racial' sense, but rather in a cultural one. I would imagine that... oh, say a Klyros, growing up in a Xacha village, would have a much different style than if he or she had grown up in a Kran village. I don't mean to eliminate personal development, but rather to point out that each race has its own cultural background, and as a general statement, that would influence their writing even when on the same topic.

Personally, I'd like to see some form of written communication that breaks new ground - something intricate, complex, and fun to learn.

Ahhhh My fault then

intricate, complex, and fun to learn.

Complex but not Too complex

I was hoping some of our poet and fan writers would weigh in more heavily.

[Socius Rockus]

Well the thing with poetry is that it's much more about feelings, emotions, thoughts and beauty then literature. I mean generally speaking.
Of course you can have different styles ect. as Kieve suggested, but because poetry is more personal it can differ much more then literature form poet to poet.
What I would suggest is:
Poetry:
-Gods (religion)
-Cultural
-Personal

Gods (religion)

Poems written in some sort of classical form, with the attempt to educate, inform, praise or ode about a (or more) gods.
Example: A Religious poem from a Laanx worshiper would be about self-bettering, a Talad based religious poem could be about helping others ect.
This sort of poems would most likely be written by priest or very devoted followers and may not be the best poems you'll ever read (In an art sense)

Cultural

Different forms of poem for different cultures. These poems are about general 'issues' like Love, Hope, Doom, Beauty, Pride, Honor ect. These are meant to be fancy as they say something about your culture thoughts of things like the above. There may be various forms within a culture though often they are quiet related. Also It's not uncommon for a poem of this (ehhmm.. )  class (?) to not follow the form exactly, the form may be streached and bend in a modest way to make the poem 'fit'.
Example: A (I can't find the correct naming ATM, sorry) major of a city may ask for such a poem to be written about her/his glorious city.

Personal

Mostly based on feelings, emotions, thoughts and other things concerning the poet. she/he may choose the from themselves, they can use various like the ones for god poems or the ones for cultural poems but they may also choose to make a hybrid or neglect any from.
Expression on the individual poet should be the center, therefor it's unlikely these poems are being published by authorities or temples. The poet are going to have to publish and sell them their selves.
