Poetry is the most misunderstood form of writing. It is also arguably the purest form of writing.

It is art.

Like art it is very difficult to define because it is an expression of what the poet thinks and feels and may take any form the poet chooses for this expression.

Poetry is a creative use of words which, like all art, is intended to stir an emotion in the audience.

Poetry generally has some structure that separates it from prose.

The basic unit of poetry is the line.

Most poems have a structure in which each line contains a set amount of syllables; this is called meter.

Lines are also often grouped into stanzas - similar to a paragraph.

(2) Couplet: a two line stanza

(3) Triplet: a three line stanza

(4) Quatrain: a four line stanza

(5) Cinquain: a five line stanza

Often the lines in a stanza will have a specific rhyme scheme.

Meter is the measured arrangement of words in poetry, the rhythmic pattern of a stanza, determined by the kind and number of lines.

Meter is an organized way to arrange stressed/accented syllables and unstressed/unaccented syllables.

But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?

Rhyme is when the endings of the words sound the same.

Dust of Snow by Robert Frost

The way a crow Shook down on me The dust of snow From a hemlock tree Has given my heart A change of mood And save some part Of a day I had rued.

Rhyme scheme is the pattern of rhyming words at the end of each line.

They are not hard to identify, but you must look carefully at which words rhyme and which do not.

Some might consider the study of poetry old fashioned, yet even in our hurried lives we are surrounded by it:

1) Children's rhymes/lullabies Twinkle twinkle little star How I wonder what you are

2) Verses from rap/pop songs Starships are meant to fly… Hands up and touch the sky…

3) Commercial jingles Get your skis shined up, Grab a stick of Juicy Fruit – The taste is gonna move you! Move you up! Move you out! The taste is gonna move you When you pop it in your mouth!

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER – ANALYZING A POEM

1. Read it once to yourself. Notice your first impressions or reaction to what the author is saying.

2. Read it again and try to figure out the literal meaning – forget the literary elements. What is

the straightforward meaning. Try to summarize what is being said in one or two

sentences that your friends could understand. 3. Read it again. Find words that could have

double, deeper, or hidden meanings, and verify the meaning of words you do not know.

4. Figure out what the author is trying to say – the purpose of the poem.

Similes and metaphors Alliteration and assonance Imagery Exaggeration Idiom Onomatopoeia Personification Repetition
