Abstract This article seeks to analyse the poetic narratives in Zona da Mata of Pernambuco as a speech element, whereby I intend to reflect on the ways in which emotion is revealed in daily practices and sociability. In this sense, I will deal with emotion as an essentially social phenomenon,  considering the discourse the place of its analysis. The text is based on ethnographic material produced in "ambientes" of cantoria-de-parede, through my relationship with poets and residents of this region.  Considering ethnographic stiuations crossed by elements of speeches, for example, poems, glosses and improvised songs, which are taken here as privileged analytical elements because of its importance and centrality in the social dynamics, I intend to go forward the reflection on the local perception of time and simultaneously demonstrate how this notion is closely connected to the poetic experimentation that is peculiar to the region. To do this, I will try to relate the concept of versura, and the gap that is its main characteristic, with the concept of time as opposed oscillation, also marked by a hiatus. The intersection point of this correlation that will guide the analysis of the native time is precisely the multitude of meanings that emerge in that gap.

Keywords : poems; emotion; Pernambuco; sociability; ethnography.
