The end product is also a discourse that seemingly lacks cohesion and coherence.
Self-contained as they are, poems make out-of-the-ordinary representations of familiar events and experiences. The design of poems is equally unorthodox. Indeed, they are expected to flout these maxims for their creations to acquire an 'artistic' character. Poets are not obliged to be true, adequately informative, relevant nor clear.
The poet's aesthetic message is explored by analyzing the 37 Samuel Taylor Coleridge's famous ballad, " The Rime of the Ancient Mariner ", being a widely read poem and bearing various stylistics features, offered itself as an ideal object for this study. The approach which serves as the basis of this study is not an invention of the researcher rather, it is a well-known twentieth century approach known as stylistics (Jeffries & McIntyre, 2010, p. Meaning thereby that in this study the elusiveness of poetry will be dealt with the precision of a social scientist, the linguist. Through the present study, an attempt has been made to show an easy access to the outlandish world of verse by means of the linguistic route which is laid with the familiar flagstones of grammar and vocabulary. And, if the product in its finished form cannot elicit a desired response from them then making them sensitive to the process of its making can be quite effective in this regard. Now, the researcher has got the inspiration for carrying out this study from an idea expounded in Widdowson (1975) that this mimicry can be replaced by genuine individual opinion if the students, or even those people who have non-academic concerns with literature, are brought to a standpoint from where they can have a closer view of the raw materials, the language resources, which are involved in the making of a literary product.

Consequently, they simply mimic the ideas, and sometimes even the words, of famous professional critics when asked to give their own critical judgment on the aesthetic merit or the thematic quality of a literary work in the shape of a home assignment, classroom presentation or an annual assessment test. Mostly, the students of literary studies cannot appreciate the beauty of the literary classics on their own. The choice of materials and their arrangement into unique patterns always bear an image of their creator, or the artist thus, a close view of them reveals the artist's identity and brings out the meaningful message that underlies the ornate running threads. If a specimen of literary art is seen as a fine tapestry of words made by the skilled seamstress-the poet, then the lexis and structure of a language are the raw materials-the fabric and the thread-by weaving which into specific patterns the finished product is achieved.
