Interpretation of Sound in the Poem of “ Setitik Nur ” Hamid Jabbar

Sound is not only a decoration that can evoke beauty and poetry, but also plays a role in forming an atmosphere that sharpens meaning. Sounds at the same time generate effective suggestions and provoke suggestiveness. Sound is closely related to elements such as songs, rhythms, melodies and so on. Its role, in addition to being a decoration and as a sweetener, also has the task of sharpening and confirming meaning and shaping the tone and atmosphere into an effective and suggestive tone and atmosphere. This paper aims to explain the interpretation of the sound in the poem “Setitik Nur” by Hamid Jabbar contained in “Segerobak Sajak” in the SUPER HILANG anthology of the poetry collection. The sound elements that make up the lyrics of the poems are efony, kakafoni, alliteration, and assonance. The sound elements combine with each other to form the atmosphere in the poem. The combination of sound elements describes the atmosphere in the form of a happy and cheerful atmosphere, but then becomes gloomy, chaotic, unpleasant, and sad. The atmosphere describes the events that took place as the poem says and the mood I was in when he talked about his intellectual odyssey to seek answers to questions about the nature of the self.
