10 sentence of epigram
Answers
An epigram is a short and witty statement, usually written in verse, that conveys a single thought or observation. Epigrams typically end with a punchline or a satirical twist.
Some additional key details about epigrams:
- Epigrams tend to rhyme because it makes them more memorable, but as with all rules (especially when it comes to poetry) there are exceptions.
- Although the term "epigram" is used most often to describe a short poem, it can also be used to describe a part of a poem, or even a sentence from a longer piece of prose.
- Epigrams often contain an opposition or a contradiction that generate their witty "twist," as in the poet Ogden Nash's most famous epigram: "Candy / Is dandy, / But liquor / Is quicker."
- In ancient Greece, epigrams were short poems placed at the tombs of fallen friends. Only later, in ancient Rome, did humor and wit become defining features of the epigram.
