The actual definition for a poem has been argued and re-phrased by many through out the years. Put simply however, a poem is writing in verse rather than prose.

Poetry is different than other forms of writing because it uses meter, vivid images, and often rhyme.

Page 4: When you think of the word “poetry,” what images, words, and emotions come to mind? How would you define the word “poetry?”

One of the elements that make poetry poetry is:

Figurative Language: language based on some sort of comparison that is not literally true, but simply a figure of speech.

Figure of Speech: one thing being compared to something entirely different.

Page 5: When you think of the word “poetry,” what images, words, and emotions come to mind? How would you define the word “poetry?”

Ex: The Budget Committee hammered at the Treasury secretary for three hours.

The committee did not literally hit the secretary with a hammer.

1. Metaphors and similes   - Make non-literal comparisons

2. Personification - Giving human qualities to ideas and things.

Page 7: When you think of the word “poetry,” what images, words, and emotions come to mind? How would you define the word “poetry?”

Metaphors: compare two similar but unlike things.They can be simply figurative:

War is hell!They can be extended and elaborate:

War is hell brought up by the evil fires of man kind.

They can be simple:Terry is as beautiful as a blossom.They can be extended and elaborate:Terry is as beautiful as a spring

Diction Imagery Details Language Syntax

The idea is to first use diction in order to discover the tone of the poem. From there, you use imagery, details, language and syntax in order to support the tone.

Page 11: When you think of the word “poetry,” what images, words, and emotions come to mind? How would you define the word “poetry?”

Tone: the author’s attitude toward the subject, toward himself, or toward the audience.

Diction: The style of speaking or writing as dependent upon choice of words.

Ex: Adjectives, nouns, verbs, adverbs, negative words, positive words, synonyms, contrast.

Hint: Look at the words that jump out at you - Evaluate only those words to find tone

Imagery: creates a vivid picture and appeals to the senses

Other literary elements that help create imagery:

MetaphorHyperboleUnderstatementPersonificationPunSymbol

AnalogyOxymoron

Page 14: When you think of the word “poetry,” what images, words, and emotions come to mind? How would you define the word “poetry?”

Details: specifics the author includes about facts – his opinion

What details does the author choose to include? What do they imply? What does the author choose to exclude? What are the connotations of their choice of details?

PLEASE NOTE: Details are facts. They differ from images in that they don’t have a strong sensory appeal.

Syntax: The study of grammatical rules and sentence structure, as well as the manipulation of the rules to create meaning.

Consider the following patterns and structures for identifying syntax:

Arrangement of ideas in sentences              Arrangement of ideas in paragraph – Pattern?

I told them a thousand times if I told them once:Stop fooling around, I said, with straw and sticks;They won’t hold up; you’re taking an awful chance.Brick is the stuff to build with, solid bricks.You want to be impractical, go ahead.But just remember, I told them; wait and see.You’re making a big mistake. Awright, I said,But when the wolf comes, don’t come running to me.

The funny thing is, they didn’t. There they sat,One in his crummy yellow shack, and oneUnder his roof of twigs, and the wolf ateThem, hair and hide. Well, what is done is done.But I’d been willing to help them, all along,If only they’d once admitted they were wrong. - Sara Henderson Hay
