Life is beautiful in its diversity. A person independently chooses a motion vector, an activity that he wishes to engage in. Everyone is free to fulfill their dreams, travel to desired places, create something new in science or art. But there is a special vocation, realizing which, there is a chance to remain for centuries. In order to write memorable verses that touch the soul, and not just rhyme words, you need talent and a desire to create. Russia has always been rich in such people, although it is difficult to name their fortunes happy.
The time will come, hear the lines
The lines of Marina Tsvetaeva, in which she compares verses with precious wines, are suitable for the work of almost every Russian poet. Talented verses, sustained in time, become even more beautiful, while graphomanian works turn into banal vinegar.
The poems of Russian poets have a special attitude to life, most likely because the historical events that took place in Russia from the 18th to the 20th century were distinguished by a cardinal change in life, worldview, and political structure. This could not but affect poetry, because poetry, like the thinnest string, picks up any social fluctuations. Someone, for example Mayakovsky, as if with directness characteristic of him, was as if created to describe a simple, harsh and understandable system that came in 1917.
Many poets were ignorant of political themes - they were closer to descriptions of Russian nature, the experiences of lovers or peasant life. During the war years, naturally, poetry touching souls about loyalty, maternal love, patriotic feelings predominated. Surviving links and repression, people wrote about it with indescribable pain. One of these poets and prose writers is known throughout the world - Varlam Shalamov.
Love to rhyme
Of course, social change is not the main theme that poets described in their works. As deeply sensitive people, they constantly turned to the theme of nature, love, human relations. Many love poems are not only included in the school curriculum as a classic example of a worthy expression of feelings, but also translated into many languages āāof the world. Beautiful love lyrics are written by Alexander Pushkin, Blok, Anna Akhmatova, Annensky, Marina Tsvetaeva. The works of Bella Akhmadulina, Tsvetaeva, Boris Pasternak, Athanasius Fet became the texts of beautiful songs that sounded in many Soviet films: āUnder the caress of a plush blanketā, āAt the dawn you donāt wake herā, āI like that you are not sick with meā, etc. Yeseninās poems are generally record holders for their voicing in songwriting.
Simonovās piercing poem āWait for meā, written during the war years, leaves no one indifferent in our days. This proves that poetry does not know time and age - it is eternal.
"A golden cloud slept ..."
A lot of unforgettable lines have also been written about nature. For example, poems by Fet, Yesenin, Bunin, Nekrasov, Mikhail Lermontov with an inimitable description of the forest, Russian endless fields, the full moon and fresh winter spaces are recommended for reading to schoolchildren. Thanks to these poetic treasures, children learn to perceive the world more subtly, pay attention to its natural beauties. That is why poetry evenings are held in schools dedicated to a certain subject or work of a particular poet. Such events are necessary for the formation of the right attitude to the creative heritage of Russian poets, the ability to coherently express their own thoughts.
Hoppy strings of a folk poet
A truly Russian poet, whose work is literally riddled with folk motifs, folklore inserts, could not be overlooked by contemporaries and forgotten by descendants. The peculiarity of his works is that in every line there is a love of his native land, nature, people.
First of all, this is due to the simple, rustic atmosphere in which the future creator grew up. Yeseninās poetic evening can be safely taken as a general example as a guide for such events.
- The first step in the organization should be the preparation of the surroundings. In accordance with the room in which the literary and poetic evening will be held, it is necessary to organize space. For example, to separate the stage from the auditorium, decorate the walls with portraits and photos with fragments from the life of the poet under study. It is also a good idea to put literary collections of poems on tables for spectators, so that everyone has the opportunity to get acquainted with the work of the classic.
- Mandatory is the preparation of video and photo materials on the topic, as well as musical design. In the case of Sergey Yeseninās work, there will be no problem, since many of his poems are put to music: āA letter from motherā, āI do not regret, I do not call ...ā, āGulyakā.
- If poetry evenings are planned with the arrival of guests, then you need to take care of invitation cards in advance . And also about posters.
- Poetic evenings can be held non-trivially. For example, in complete darkness, illuminating only part of the scene in the form of a circle, or use only table lamps. You can read poems about nature, the universe and stars on the planetarium. Itās also nice to build on the stage a kind of village with a hut, a rickety wattle fence and a village bench.
- The meeting with the poet's work begins with a pleasant melody so that guests can tune in a calm positive mood.
- As an introduction, it is worth mentioning that poetry helps people to more fully express their feelings, conveying them to the outside world. There are poems that comfort in moments of thought and grief. There are those that make you soar on the wings, because they conveyed a state of love. Some works invite you to immerse yourself in the world of nature, its sounds, smells, paintings. Studying the poems of Russian poets, it is impossible not to touch upon the immortal Yesenin lines, since they, like in a lake, reflect the Russian soul, birch groves, fresh lightning, and sincere love. Therefore, even if the evening of poetry is not dedicated specifically to Sergei Yesenin, but to several poets, it is impossible not to recall his lines in the context of the discussion of poetry.
- The main part, passing through the entire poetic evening, the script of which must be carefully considered, is important in the overall picture of the event. After all, it is in it that the poetic works of poets are included, the work of which is planned to be considered. It is imperative to alternate reading poetry with biographical details, interesting facts from the authorās life. You can organize an evening in the form of a theatrical performance, where you can include such characters as readers, the poet himself, a contemporary, and a presenter.
- If the event is dedicated to several Russian creators, then itās nice to recall the works included in famous films, the verses from which your favorite songs are created. This greatly diversifies the evening of poetry, making it more interesting.
- The final event should come no later than an hour after the start, otherwise it will not be easy to keep the attention of the audience.
Evenings of poetry for young connoisseurs
Poetic evenings for younger schoolchildren are recommended for holding in order to instill in them a sense of beauty, to bring to children's minds the idea that poetic connected thoughts and worthy deeds begin with beautiful words. As a rule, it is better for young art lovers to begin to get acquainted with poetry from poems about nature, seasons, plants.
To do this, you can pick up several works from the poetry of Fet, Pushkin, Bunin. The main thing is that these are understandable lines.
Why are you, poet, on earth?
The importance of poetry is hard to overestimate. She does not die even when she is not allowed to develop, is prohibited, oppressed when the poet does not find a place in his own Fatherland. When the creators leave, she still lives and penetrates the hearts of those who read poetic lines. The works of Russian poets are a true comfort for the soul.
