In this sense, the usage of humour in Metin Eloğlu’s poems who is thought as a follower of Garip poetry, is as effective as it is in Garip Representatives’poetry structure. The aim of the study is to find the answer of the question how the humour is handled in the poet s poems. The genres of humour which take a special part in his poems will be studied in details.

Irony which can be thought as the humour factor has been excepted because of it s intensity as a separate article topic.
