The description of the theory used relates to the meaning of poetry, folk poetry, types of poetry, the structure of poetry, the language tools of poetry and the values contained in poetry put forward by experts. The study data is provided through the "listening method," which is supported by recording techniques, specifically by recording data on the structure of the poem's text, its linguistic devices, and the values it expresses. Books containing texts of literary genres of poetry, the internet, books of collections of folk poetry in the Sasak community, and informants were used as data sources. From the data collected, it was found that the poetry of the Sasak people took the form of pantuns, syair, proverbs and mantras. The structure of a poem's text and its linguistic features differ depending on its type. The findings revealed that the creation of Sasak poetry is dominated by three styles: pantun poetry, syair poetry, and mantra poetry. These three varieties have two patterns of development, dynamic and static development. Dynamic array development is obtained by stanza patterns and lines 3-1-2-1, 3-2-1-3, etc. Then, the pattern of static development of the stanza structure and patterned lines 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, and so forth. The research findings are classified into two categories: the dominating pattern of poetry in the Sasak Language/Bahasa Sasak (BS) and the evolution of stanzas and lines in each literary work of poetry. Furthermore, the messages of meaning to be conveyed in most of the BS poems include moral, ethical, politeness, religious, and social educational values
