Dramatic poetry

Dramatic poetry is drama written in verse to be spoken or sung, and appears in varying, sometimes related forms in many cultures. Greek tragedy in verse dates to the 6th century B.C., and may have been an influence on the development of Sanskrit drama, just as Indian drama in turn appears to have influenced the development of the bianwen verse dramas in China, forerunners of Chinese Opera. East Asian verse dramas also include Japanese Noh. Examples of dramatic poetry in Persian literature include Nizami 's two famous dramatic works, Layla and Majnun and Khosrow and Shirin, Ferdowsi 's tragedies such as Rostam and Sohrab, Rumi 's Masnavi, Gorgani 's tragedy of Vis and Ramin, and Vahshi 's tragedy of Farhad. American poets of 20th century revive dramatic poetry, including Ezra Pound in " Sestina: Altaforte, " T.S. Eliot with " The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock ".
