 Day2
 Each and everyone of us experiences to love and to be loved, do you agree? You can express
these feelings in many forms: by saying “I love you”, by showing care to the person you love, by
composing or singing a song, by writing or uttering poems and a lot more.

One of the traditional ways of expressing love is through poem writing. However, before
you’ll be able to come up with a good poem, it is important to know what a poem is and the
different types of poetry that might help you in creating your own literary piece.

Try to read the following concept!

What is poetry?

 Comes from the Greek word poiesis which means “to make” or “to create”.
 It consists largely of oral or literary works in which language is used in a manner that is
felt by its user and audience to differ from ordinary prose.
 It is the art of rhythmical composition, written or spoken, for exciting pleasure by
beautiful, imaginative, or elevated thoughts.
 It is a literary work in metrical form; verse.

Poetry is divided into 3 types

1. NARRATIVE POETRY – is a type of poetry that tells a story.

Under narrative poetry we have:

a. Epic Poetry - is a lengthy narrative about heroic deeds and events significant to a culture or
nation. “The epic of Gilgamesh” is an example of epic poetry

b. Monologue - comes from the Greek words monos, which means “alone”, and logos, which
means “speech”. It is a literary device that is the speech or verbal presentation given by a
single character in order to express his or her collection of thoughts and ideas aloud. Often
such a character speaks directly to audience, or to another character. Monologues are found
in dramatic medium like films and plays, and also in non-dramatic medium like poetry.
“Vengeance is not Ours! It’s God” is an example of a monologue piece.

c. Metrical Romance – is a long, imaginative narrative involving knights and royalty, brave
men and beautiful ladies; it treats romantically such themes as love, religion and chivalry.
Example of metrical romance piece is “Paradise Lost” by John Milton.

d. Ballad - is a narrative poem that originally was set to music. Ballads were first created in
medieval France, and the word ballad comes from the French term chanson balladée, which
means “dancing song.” Ballads then became popular in Great Britain, and remained so until
the nineteenth century. The meaning has changed somewhat in the present day to refer to
any slow love song. Example of ballad is “Julia” by The Beatles.

e. Tale - a narrative that relates the details of some real or imaginary event, incident, or case.
The tale of Alunsina and Tungkung Langit is an example of tale.

narrative poetry examples.

2. LYRIC POETRY – expresses the thoughts and feelings of the poet. The term “lyric” is now
generally referred to as the words to a song.
Under lyric poetry we have:
a. Elegy - is derived from the Greek word elegus, which means a song of bereavement sung
along with a flute. It is a form of literature that can be defined as a poem or song in the
form of elegiac couplets, written in honor of someone deceased. It typically laments or
 mourns the death of the individual. One of the examples of elegy is “Elegy Written in a
Country Churchyard” by Thomas Gray,

b. Ode - an ode is a form of poetry such as sonnet or elegy. Ode is a literary technique that
is lyrical in nature, but not very lengthy. “Ode to the West Wind” by Percy Bysshe
Shelly.

c. Sonnet - The word sonnet is derived from the Italian word “sonetto,” which means a
“little song” or small lyric. In poetry, a sonnet has 14 lines, and is written in
iambic pentameter. Each line has 10 syllables. It has a specific rhyme scheme, and
a volta, or a specific turn. Example of sonnet is the Sonnets of William Shakespeare.

3.DRAMATIC POETRY - is any drama that is written in verse that is meant to be recited. It
usually tells a story or refers to a situation.

Under dramatic poetry we have:

a. Tragedy – is a drama that has a tragic ending just like the death of the leading character/s.
Example is “Romeo and Juliet”.

b. Comedy – is a drama which seeks to amuse or entertain. The purpose is to make the
audience laugh. Example is “Comedy of Errors”.

c. Dramatic Monologue – is a one-sided conversations. The thoughts and emotions of the

Duchess”.

E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #2

Mood is the feeling created by the poet for the reader. Tone is the feeling displayed by
the author toward the subject of the poem. Mood and tone often depend on one another to get
across what the author is trying to portray.

Example:

Some words that can describe the mood of a poem might be: romantic, realistic, optimistic,
pessimistic, gloomy, mournful, sorrowful, etc.

Some words that can describe the tone of a poem might be: serious, humorous, amused, angry,
playful, cheerful, sad, gloomy, etc.

An author’s purpose is his reason for or intent in writing. An author’s purpose may be to
amuse the reader, to persuade the reader, to inform the reader, or to satirize a condition.

The author’s technique is a technique in which an individual author uses in his writing.
It varies from author to author and depends upon one’s syntax, word choice, and tone. It is
achieved through word choice (diction), sentence construction and word order (syntax), and by
what the viewpoint character focuses on.

EXAMPLE:

Expository writing style - is a subject-oriented style. The focus of the writer in this type of
writing style is to tell the readers about a specific subject or topic and in the end the author leaves
out his own opinion about that topic.

Loneliness
Katherine Mansfield

Now it is Loneliness who comes at night

Instead of Sleep, to sit beside my bed.
Like a tired child I lie and wait her tread,
I watch her softly blowing out the light.
Motionless sitting, neither left or right
She turns, and weary, weary droops her head.
She, too, is old; she, too, has fought the fight.
So, with the laurel she is garlanded.

Through the sad dark the slowly ebbing tide

Breaks on a barren shore, unsatisfied.
A strange wind flows... then silence. I am fain
To turn to Loneliness, to take her hand,
Cling to her, waiting, till the barren land
Fills with the dreadful monotone of rain.

Identify the type of poetry used in the following lines/phrase.

Type of Poetry
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
1.
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
When I am born, you are here
In your eye, I see a tear
2.
Time flies and already I'm two
"Look, Daddy, I can tie my shoe!"
Shall I compare thee to a summers day
Thou art more lovely and more temperate
3. Rough winds do shake
The darling buds of May
And summers lease hath all too short a date
A dog wandered into our garden one day,
A friendly old mutt, didn't look like a stray.
4. We never discovered whence he had come,
But we brushed him and fed him and the kids called
him Rum.
Go, lovely Rose-
Tell her that wastes her time and me,
5. That now she knows,
When I resemble her to thee,
How sweet and fair she seems to be.
Dream it was in which I found myself.
And you that hail me now, then hailed me king,
In a brave palace that was all my own,
Within, and all without it, mine; until,
Drunk with excess of majesty and pride,
6.
Me thought I towered so big and swelled so wide
That of myself I burst the glittering bubble
Which my ambition had about me blown
And all again was darkness. Such a dream
As this, in which I may be walking now
 All the world’s a stage
And all the men and women are merely players;
They have their exits and entrances,
7.
And one man in his time plays many parts
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms;
Turn back the heart you've turned away
Give back your kissing breath
Leave not my love as you have left
The broken hearts of yesterday
8.
But wait, be still, don't lose this way
Affection now, for what you guess
May be something more, could be less
Accept my love, live for today.
Sing, Goddess, Achilles' rage,
Black and murderous, that cost the Greeks
Incalculable pain, pitched countless souls
9.
Of heroes into Hades' dark,
And left their bodies to rot as feasts
For dogs and birds, as Zeus' will was done.
JACK: How can you sit there, calmly eating muffins
when we are in this horrible trouble, I can’t make out.
You seem to me to be perfectly heartless.
ALGERNON: Well, I can’t eat muffins in an agitated
10. manner. The butter would probably get on my cuffs.
One should always eat muffins quite calmly. It is the
only way to eat them.
JACK: I say it’s perfectly heartless you’re eating
muffins at all under the circumstances.

J. Additional Activities for Application or Remediation
