WHICH LANGUAGE DO YOU USE IN LITERATURE AND WHICH LANGUAGE DO YOU LIKE FOR POETRY?

The language which I use most in literature is English because even in our secondary school days there used to call it literature in English, and I also like English for poetry also because it makes it simpler to understand

WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE POET IN YOUR LANGUAGE, WRITE ABOUT HIM/HER?

So the name of the legendary poet after my heart is Alfred, Lord Tennyson by and the title of his poetry which I love so much is "Crossing the Bar".

Alfred lord Tennyson known as 1st Baron Tennyson was born on 6 august 1809 and died in 6 October 1892, he was an English poet during the reign of queen Victoria in 1829, and some of his accomplishment is that he was awarded a chancellor's gold 🥇 medal at Cambridge for one of his first poetry "Timbuktu".

WRITE ABOUT HIS POPULAR POETRY, BOOKS, LINES, etc.

Even though Alfred lord Tennyson had written a lot of amazing popular poetry but the one which is after my heart is crossing 🚸 the bar.

---

Crossing the bar was a poem written by Alfred, Lord Tennyson in 1889 and it was considered to be an elegy which he uses metaphor to compare death with crossing the sandbar.

---

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;

For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.

Having reading the poetry you have seen how interesting it is, the poet trys to use euphemism to talk about a serious situation but in a mile way, and the line which I like most in his poetry is "I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar" that's words that has big meaning
