POETRY

is language written with rhythm, figurative language,

imagery, sound devices, and emotionally charged

language.

The function of poetry is to convey emotion or ideas to

the riders’ or listeners’ mind or ears. It may also use

devices, such as assonance and repetition to achieve

musical effect.

A poet is a person who writes poems.

A poem is a piece of writing that partakes of the nature

of both speech and songs, that is nearly always

rhythmical, usually metaphorical, and often exhibits

such formal elements as meter, rhyme and stanzaic

structure.

Kinds of Poem:

a. Concrete Poem

One with a shape that suggests its object,

arranges the letters, punctuation, and line to

create an image or picture.

[English Module, Unit 1] Page 8

b. Narrative Poem

A story told in verse, has elements of short

stories including characters, conflict and plot.

c. Riddle Poem

Is a riddle that is written in poem form.

d. Lyric

Highly musical verse that expresses the

observation and feelings of a single speaker.

Elements of Poem 1. Rhythm

The flow of sound produced by a language.

Shows the long and short of sound or movement

Communicates the emotion of the poet

Reveals the emotion of happiness, sadness, greatness, or other feelings.

2. Sounds Poets often use the sounds of words to create effects in their poems. We call the word rhymes. For example rhyme scheme: abcabc, ababab, bbaabbaa.

[English Module, Unit 1] Page 9

3. Imagery Refers to the sensations that the language creates in the mind. Example: One must have a mind of winter

4. Forms Poets give form to their verse in various ways. Much poetry, especially written in the 1900’s, has no rhyme scheme. Such poetry is often called free verse.

Quatrain 4 lines

Quintet 5 lines

Sextet 6 lines

Figurative Language Is one of the important elements in making a poem. Most people feel the need for richer and more colorful statement in order to present their ideas with greater force. The ways of making language figurative are called figures of speech.

Personification is a figure of speech that gives human forms, powers, or feelings to animals, object or ideas. It makes things appear like a person.

[English Module, Unit 1] Page 10

A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is taken out of its usual setting and placed with another word to suggest a likeness. Metaphor doesn’t use the word “like/as” as in similes. Example: My love is a red, red rose.

Simile is a figure of speech in which two quite different things are compared because they appear to be similar in at least one characteristic. Example: Cat’s eyes are like marbles.

It doesn’t mean that you believe that cat’s eyes and marbles are really alike. But the glassy shine of the cat’s eyes reminds you of the glassy shine of a marble and comparison helps to make a picture in words

VOCABULARY Literary Words

In many writing exercises, whether they be writing a job

application, creating a speech, orbusiness writing, you

will probably have been told to use everyday words and

keep your language simple. That is often

very sound advice, and helps keep communication

simple and effective.

[English Module, Unit 1] Page 11

In some contexts, though, you may wish to use a less

common, more elevated word. This list of words below

would largely be used in writing that was intentionally

seeking a literary tone. That might be a poem, or (if you

are writing fiction) in the dialogue of a literary character

- or even apretentious one.

On the other hand, you may simply want new words for

language games, or hope to impress friends and family!

Whatever the reason, the list below will offer literary

equivalents for everyday words

(behold for see; lightsome for nimble; dulcify for sweete

n), terms relating to Greek mythology

(Rhadamanthine, Stygian), and words with unexpected

meanings (crapulent, for example).
