The Definition of a Literary Work
A literary work can be defined as a branch of literature dealing with words as raw material to create a picture, an idea or a story in a meaningful pattern. Yet words, being the backbone of the pattern, are not really of great importance if they

of

style
which
is,

course,
different from that we use in colloquy.
The

types,
either
a
creative
writing or the study of what is written. Writing is a creative work that values man as a creator and raises his existence above the world of subsistence, but that work we call "study" is

As far as the design and the language are concerned, the literary work is written into two different ways depending on the use of language, so it's either in prose or in poetry.
First,
prose

writing.
Its

Poetry,
on
the
other
hand,
is
a
piece
of
"prose"
writing in an elevated style. Its characteristic is that it is written
in
verse
form
to
express
deep
feelings
or
noble
thought in beautiful language, composed with the desire to communicate an experience. Unlike prose, a poem is built in a rhythmic way so that it can penetrate far inside the conscious levels of thought and feelings, invigorating every word in order to use it to express a specific meaning rather than its usual or general one. The poet uses syllables, diverse kinds of feet and stanzas, as well as rhymes so that he reaches the level of those who incarnate the divine messages. In addition to that, poetry relies most on the power of words. And thanks to his well exploitation of powerful expressive words, the poet produces a beautiful tableau we eventually call a poem. The
poet
also
writes
stories,
parables,
and
many
other
literary genres because poetry is a huge recipient for all imaginative
writings.
Poetry,
being
in
a
sense
the
most
literary of all branches of literature, makes the greatest use of the raw material, notably words, simile, metaphor etc.
Thus be it in prose or in poetic style, the literary work provides us with enjoyments and intellectual delight. It gives opportunities to know much more about life. It tackles

all facets of human concerns, emotions, behaviours, dreams and so
on
and
so
forth.
All
in
all
literary
work
is
really
exciting to read but not always good to take for example. Choice is sometimes compulsory to avoid those writings about vices: killing, robbery to name only two. Well-read people on the other hand have a critical eye and they deal with literary works in terms of importance.
To put it short, a literary work is a relate part of human experiences, civilisations and evolution. And by reading or better analysing a masterpiece, one widens his scope and knowledge about people in terms of their thoughts, their way of looking at different issues, their experiences, and their beliefs in general!
