Is there a type of poetry called inspired by poetry?

Answer 1

Yes, it is when someone reads a poem and is inspired by it to write another poem, like it or along the same lines as it. It is typical for beginner poets, or any poet for that matter.

Poetry definitions are difficult, as is aesthetics generally. What is distinctive and important tends to evade the qualified language in which we attempt to cover all considerations. Perhaps we could say that poetry was a responsible attempt to understand the world in human terms through literary composition. The terms beg many questions, of course, but poetry today is commonly an amalgam of three distinct viewpoints. Traditionalist argue that a poem is an expression of a vision that is rendered in a form intelligible and pleasurable to others and so likely to arouse kindred emotions. For Modernists, a poem is an autonomous object that may or may not represent the real world but is created in language made distinctive by its complex web of references. Postmodernists look on on poems as collages of current idioms that are intriguing but self-contained - they employ, challenge and/or mock preconceptions, but refer to nothing beyond themselves.
