Filíocht is the Irish word for "poetry." It is a form of literary art that uses rhythmic and often metaphorical language to express emotions, ideas, and stories. Poets use various techniques, such as imagery and sound patterns, to create a deeper connection with their readers. In Ireland, filíocht has a rich tradition, with famous poets like W.B. Yeats and Seamus Heaney contributing significantly to the genre. Poetry can be written in different styles, including sonnets, free verse, and haikus, allowing for a wide range of expression and creativity.
