The tradition of Turkish Folk Poetry, one of the most important cultural codes brought from Turkistan to Anatolia. Before Islam, in the Turkistan landscape the ballads, also known as Küg, sang by Shaman and Kam accompanied by kopuz (a lute-like instrument) has been carried over to Anatolia and continued to be sang by poets in Anatolia. In our geography, with the influence of traditional sufism beliefs, Turkmen poets have been renamed âşık and developed the traditions further to create new genres. A part of these poets brought up in Janissary Corps. An important part have appeared in villages and tribes. Another part who have been carrying on ancestral traditions, with sufi belief have taken part around dervish convents. Following 17th century, these poets also have existed in cities. These poets who have been singing ballads accompanied with kopuz which belong to folk and sufi traditions, were observed to be frequented around Kars and Erzurum in the East, Sivas and Tokat in Central Anatolia. After the 17th century, the tradition of prosodic writing has been accrued to the urbanizing folk poetry. After the 18th Century, many folk poets started to use prosody along with syllabic meter. One of the master poets of this tradition is Ceyhunî Baba from Zile. In this study, the Divân of Ceyhunî, one of the master poets of the 19th century titled “Âşık Ceyhunî Baba Sakin-i Zile” will be introduced, and samples of koşma, destan, kalendâr/kalenderî dîvân, müseddes semâî, kalendâr, and satranç will be presented.
