Many rhetoric and means of expression allow poets/authors to cover up what they want to tell; the irony is one of them. It is possible to prove, based on examples, that irony, which is used extensively in English and German literature, is also referred to by different names and used in different forms in Turkish literature. The humorous style and cynical attitude that Ibnülemin Mahmut Kemal İnal sometimes adopts in his evaluations of poetry and poets prove the existence of irony in the texts written by him. For example, the poems that Ibnülemin wrote for Orhan Veli and Süheyl Ünver are ironic texts. In addition to drawing attention to Ibnülemin's relationship with wit, humor, and irony, this article, which deals with the poem written for Süheyl Ünver based on irony, aims to show how the components of irony are used in poetry, taking into account the reason for writing the text.
