- RelatedポエトリーNeutralA neutral loanword for poetry; rare in ordinary use, seen mostly in the names of arts events such as poetry readings.
- Related律文りつぶんWrittenWritten and rare, with an archaic, specialized flavor: legal provisions, or verse composed to a meter. Too old-fashioned for everyday use in place of 「詩句」.
Use 「詩句」 for the individual lines of a poem, as in 「詩句を引用する」. For verse as a form with rhythm or meter, set against prose, use 「韻文」; for a whole poem, 「詩」. 「ポエトリー」 is a rare loanword and 「律文」 an archaic term.
