Poemの日本語は何ですか。
Google Translate says "Poem" means 詩. In hiragana, is it "うた"? I knew that one of the Japanese for "Song" means "歌" which is also pronounced "うた". So, does it mean that both "song" and "poem/poetry" has the same pronunciation "うた" but different Kanji?
ありがとうございます。OK everyone. I got it. Actually the transliteration of Google Translate was wrong about 詩. It showed me the pronunciation as ”うた” but it's actually "し".

Well I searched for this in other dictionaries and I found modern poetry.. so this means you are right..and its also "uta " but with other meaning. ;)

On-yomi of 「詩」 is 「し」 and kun-yomi is 「うた」. So, both 「し」 and 「うた」 are correct (*^^*)
