Best Answer

In the days before modern radio and TV, people gained entertainment through itinerant bards - poets who sang their poems. Then as the religious singing and dancing in the forest glades became transformed into stage plays in theatres, poetic dialogue was added and recited and danced and sung. Poetry was at the centre of religion and entertainment.
