Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with terminological and general literary and genealogical doubts related to the genre of narrative verse or „poema“. The paper follows the process of constituting this meta-linguistic practice with the aim of pointing out its inconsistency, as well as the processes of its adoption, first through the Russian, but also through the English literary and scientific tradition, and then to highlight the semantic reduction of this term in our culture. Although it should aspire to at least partial exactness, the generally accepted genre status of the poem thus appears first of all as a “stumbling block” of literary analysis, both of those works that we traditionally call romantic poems, and those that belong to other stylistic formations.
