Bhavageet
Bhavageet (literally 'emotion poetry') is a form of
expressionist poetry and light music. Most of the poetry sung in this genre pertains
to subjects like love, nature, philosophy etc., and the genre itself is not
much different from Ghazals, though ghazals are bound to a peculiar metre. This
genre is quite popular in many parts of India, notably in Karnataka and
Maharashtra.

Kannada poets whose works have been set to music include Kuvempu, D. R. Bendre,

Ahmed, and N S LakshminarayanaBhatta.
