Poem "Prayer" by O. Nikolaeva (translation into Ukrainian)
Poems, Songs & Prose
#Poems
By genre – philosophical lyrics with elements of patriotism.
The leading motif of the work – the question of forming a society whose representatives are capable of critical thinking and exploring the surrounding space, relying on their clear "I", as well as the relevance of their civic position in the modern world.
The composition of the poem – clear, expressive, not overloaded.
The system of images is built on the basis of the lyrical "I" of the hero – the poet.
The author's intention is emphasized by various tropes: hyperbole (doubt not in reality), epithets (the atrocities of the fierce, harmonious words), metaphor (words breathe) and syntactic figures: inversions (in times of fierce lawlessness, I devotedly fill, who sees, and who hears them), gradation (The burden will fall, will unfold, and doubt not in reality. Not a dream, not an illusion: we are brave, and we are alive). The expressive sound, musical accompaniment of the composition creates the phonetics of the poem. In the 3rd stanza, where the sound (v) is repeated seven times, the process of "merging" the lyrical hero-poet with "his" people is intensified, which unites, delights, and motivates to build healthy social connections (alliteration).
Features of versification:
The type of rhyme is cross: abab (fierce/sorrow/devotedly/grail).
The poetic meter: three-foot iambic. Type of stanza: quatrains.
Summary: the question of forming a society whose representatives are emotionally mature and have a confident civic position is always relevant. In my opinion, today it is very important to establish social contacts with people who have common internal attitudes, beliefs, and interests. The existence of such relationships creates excellent conditions for an interesting, joyful, and happy life.
