Summary/Abstract: Different cases among people such as jealousy and hatred against opponents; bantering and sniping with friends in order to have a good time are perhaps as old as human history. Poets who have a special place among people due to the ability to write poems have revealed their thoughts and feelings mostly via poems. Thus, in Classical Turkish Literature different species such as ridicule, satire, jest, mülâtefe, wit, antithesis and tehzil have emerged. While poets use the ability to express thoughts and feelings as a weapon against people who aren’t poets, they aim it the also to the poets who are their competitiors. In this case the response they get back has been in the form of poetry naturally. In this article, about one hundred examples written by poets rowing with each other and using the language of the poem have been shared by classifying under twelve headings. Of both parties who are not poets or which are not in the form of poem have been excluded. Taking into account the size of the text the quips on the capacity of the poesy and the quality of the poem are left for another time to evaluate.
