LYRIC POEM Lyric Poetry consists of a poem,

such as a sonnet or an ode, that expresses the thoughts and feelings of the poet. The term lyric is now commonly referred to as the words to a song. Lyric poetry does not tell a story which portrays characters and actions. The lyric poet addresses the reader directly, portraying his or her own feeling, state of mind, and perceptions.

EXAMPLE OF LYRIC POETRY

Dying (aka I heard a fly buzz when I died )

byEmily Dickinson

I heard a fly buzz when I died;The stillness round my form

Was like the stillness in the airBetween the heaves of storm.

The eyes beside had wrung them dry,And breaths were gathering sureFor that last onset, when the king

Be witnessed in his power.

I willed my keepsakes, signed awayWhat portion of me I

Could make assignable,-and thenThere interposed a fly,

With blue, uncertain, stumbling buzz,Between the light and me;

And then the windows failed, and thenI could not see to see.

EXAMPLE OF LYRIC POETRY Dream Deferred by Langston Hughes What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry upLike a raisin in the sun?

Or fester like a sore--And then run?

Does it stink like rotten meat?Or crust and sugar over--like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sagslike a heavy load.
