Possibility of religious poetry Journal Article

Machine summary:

Poet and writer of children's and adolescents' literature Master of Art Research, Sooreh University In the beginning, poetry lacked meaning and only possessed music and words. The Possibility of Religious Poetry In the realm of religious literature for children, the matter is different. Protecting the environment, the importance of water, and loving parents can also be religion, but these, too, are not poetry after translation because the external beauty, which is the musicality of the words, is lost; the internal beauty is also based on culture, and its imagination and synesthesia are not transferable, leaving only its message, which is no longer poetry, even if it is narrative. So, in my belief, first of all, something called religious poetry with the definition of superficial religion might not exist anywhere, and the things we hear like «اصول دین پنج بود، دانستنش گنج بود» are rhythmic words that lose their rhythm when translated, and many of these do not have poetic beauty, leaving nothing behind that would be considered poetry, so we should not pursue this matter at all. This problem exists even for the translation of love poems, despite the fact that love is the common language of humanity. If we accept poems that carry religious thought and, in fact, a human and divine burden as religion, they are those sayings that place humans in connection with God and do not make doing good and living well dependent on the benefits of this world, and the translation of these is possible.
