Had a closer look at it via amazon and must say the cover of the book, the little colorful people, look so much like the munchkins in the Wizard of Oz.

Also, sorry because I made a tiny mistake yesterday. It's
"Follow the yellow brick road" (not way)

Then I looked for the german version and it turned out that the cover is completely yellow (nice surpise!)

And weirdly enough I first read into the english version from the Oxford World's Classic with another intro about the translation.

It says
"It is many centuries too late to change the title of this treatise of Aristotle's, but 'Poetics' gives a misleading impression of the content of the treatise. The Greek word _poiesis_ (literally 'making'), as used by Aristotle, has both a narrower and a wider scope than the English word 'poetry'. The _Poetics_ treats at length of Greek epic and tragedy, both of which were written in verse; but there were many forms of G[r]eek 🙂 poetry in which Aristotle shows no interest: didactic treatises like Hesiod's, for instance, or love-lyrics like Sappho's. He was indeed well aware of the distinction between verse and prose, though there was no obvious pair of G[r]eek 🤐 words to make the distinction. But he is insistent that it is not the metrical form that makes something a poem; it is content rather than form that matter in poetry.
The scientific writings of the philosopher Empedocles are not poetry, even though they are composed in hexameters; and if you put the histories of Herodotus into verse they would still be history not poetry. On the other hand, it is clear to us -if not perhaps to Aristotle- that many of the features that he regarded as essential to epic and tragedy might well find expression in pure prose. If a verse herodotus would still be history, might not a prose Homer still be what Aristotle calls poetry?
After all, most of what the _Poetics_ says about the _Iliad_ and the _Odyssey_ remains true of the numerous prose versions of those works in modern languages.
What English term, then, covers all and only the things that Aristotle calls _poiesis_? 'Imaginative writing' and 'creative writing' come close, but one expression is too clumsy and the other too academic for regular use. The closest modern equivalent to Aristotle's word is the German _DICHTUNG_, which covers prose fiction as well as verse. In this translation I have decided to retain the traditional translation 'poetry', having prefaced it with this health warning.
The semantic properties of Aristotle's word for poetry mean that his treatise is inadequate as a treatment of G[r]eek 🙃 verse. ..."
Btw I just realized that the word Greek pronounced with a soft 'g' at the end sounds like the german word "Krieg" (war) or "krieg(en)" (to get/receive).
And some geek people say: Code is Poetry... in the making.
