William Bakes's "The Sick Rose" is an example of symbolism, in a poem. The sickness, symbolically, is some form of sexually-transmitted disease. Like many poems, however, this is is ambiguous: the symbolism can be debated.

The most common symbol of poetry is the "pen" or "quill," representing the act of creation and artistry in writing. Other symbols include the "rose" for love and beauty, the "nightingale" for creativity and inspiration, and the "broken chain" for freedom and liberation of expression.

∙ 13y agoA symbol in a poem is a word or phrase that stands for an important idea, such a youth, age. life, death, or hope. A symbol is often difficult to recognize by itself. You need to look at the content of the poem to figure it out. A person, an object, an event, or anything else in a poem may be a symbol, and it may stand for one or several ideas.

∙ 9y agoPoetry is condensed thought and so, it cannot be as elaborate as prose. But, at the same time, it has to convey as much thoughts, observations and ideas as prose does. Poetry makes this possible by using the technique of symbols where a single symbol, which is a phonetic representation of a lot of ideas or sentences, can convey as much as a paragraph in prose may convey, equally effectively, perhaps more. It is not that prose is devoid of symbols, but poetry has to depend on symbols more, due to the condition of its brevity. If you happen to see the word 'Phoenix' in poetry, know that it means 'a magnificent bird, man, organization, village or whatever it is which is rising from its ashes alive.' That is what a symbol does in poetry.
