"I sang the verse": the author's methods of expressing the semantics of writing in the poetry of the Silver age

An analysis of poems by poets of the Silver Age containing verbs with the semantics of writ-ing is presented. The features of the use are shown, firstly, units associated semantically with creative poetic activity, but verbalizing the different attitude of authors to their work, and, secondly, verbs endowed by the author with the meaning "create, compose," which they do not have at the dictionary level. Two positions of the author are noted - as a subject of poetic creativity and as an observer, eliminating from the process of creating a verse. The creative process is presented using a variety of "non-creative" verbs.
