BILLY COLLINS
Born in 1941, in New York and dubbed “the most popular poet in
America” by Bruce Weber in the New York Times, Billy Collins is famous
for conversational, witty poems that welcome readers with humor but
often slip into quirky, tender or profound observation on the everyday,
reading and writing, and poetry itself. Collins’s level of fame is almost
unprecedented in the world of contemporary poetry: his readings regularly
sell out, and he received a six-figure advance when he moved publishers
in the late 1990s. He served two terms as the US Poet Laureate, from
2001-2003, was New York State Poet Laureate from 2004-2006, and is a
regular guest on National Public Radio programs. In 2002, as U.S. Poet
Laureate, Collins was asked to write a poem commemorating the first
anniversary of the fall of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center on
September 11. The reading was in front of a joint session of Congress held
outside of Washington D.C.

Literary Elements
Refer to the overall or universal quality or description of any written or
oral text
Literary Elements of Poem
STANZAS: Stanzas are a series of lines grouped together and separated by an empty line
from other stanzas. They are the equivalent of a paragraph in an essay. One way to identify a
stanza is to count the number of lines. Thus:
couplet (2 lines)
tercet (3 lines)
quatrain (4 lines)
cinquain (5 lines)
sestet (6 lines) (sometimes it's called a sexain)
septet (7 lines)
octave (8 lines)
RHYME: Rhyme is the repetition of similar sounds. In poetry, the most common kind of
rhyme is the end rhyme, which occurs at the end of two or more lines. It is usually identified
with lower case letters, and a new letter is used to identify each new end sound. Take a look
at the rhyme scheme for the following poem
RHYTHM: Creates the pleasant gliding effect when we read a poem. It helps readers to
travel along the lines of the poem with a certain enjoyable tempo created by the components
of rhythm.
or,
METER: the systematic regularity in rhythm; this systematic rhythm (or sound pattern) is
usually identified by examining the type of "foot" and the number of feet.
WORD SOUNDS: Another type of sound play is the emphasis on individual sounds and
words:
Alliteration: the repetition of initial sounds on the same line or stanza - Big bad
Bob bounced bravely.
Parallel Stucture: a form of repetition where the order of verbs and nouns is
repeated; it may involve exact words, but it more importantly repeats sentence
structure - "I came, I saw, I conquered".
FIGURATIVE/CONNOTATIVE DEVICES
Simile is the rhetorical term used to designate the most elementary form of
resemblances: most similes are introduced by "like" or "as." These comparisons
are usually between dissimilar situations or objects that have something in
common, such as "My love is like a red, red rose."
Metaphor leaves out "like" or "as" and implies a direct comparison between
objects or situations. "All flesh is grass."
IMAGERY is the name given to the elements in a poem that spark off the senses. Despite
"image" being a synonym for "picture", images need not be only visual; any of the five
senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell ) can respond to what a poet writes
Literary Genres
A. EPIC POEM is a long, narrative poem that is usually about heroic deeds and
events that are significant to the culture of the poet. Many ancient writers used
epic poetry to tell tales of intense adventures and heroic feats.
B. NARRATIVE POETRY is a form of poetry that tells a story, often making use
of the voices of a narrator and characters as well; the entire story is usually
written in metered verse. Narrative poems do not have to follow rhythmic
patterns.
C. ROMANTIC POEM is a poetry that emphasized intuition over reason and the
pastoral over the urban, often eschewing consciously poetic language in an effort
to use more colloquial language
D. 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. This would include closet
drama, dramatic monologues, and rhyme verse.
E. LYRIC POEM it has have a musical rhythm, and their topics often explore
romantic feelings or other strong emotions.
LITERARY TRADITIONS

GROUP ACTIVITIES
Group 2: Speech Choir. The speech choir is a form of oral interpretation done as
a group. Similar to choral singing, a speech choir requires the harmonious and
rhythmical recitation of poetic verses. In a dramatic speech choir, the group
creates movements and wears costumes that reflect the theme of the poem.
Using the poem, Litany the group should prepare for a dramatic choral
interpretation. Practice the oral interpretation of the piece and work on meaningful
movement.
E. Generalization / Application
1. The teacher will ask the students to use literary elements to show how much they
have understood the lesson.
2. The teacher will encourage the class that if they perform better, they would need
not to take the final examination for the subject.
F. Evaluation

reflect on what they have learned, realized and discovered in the whole duration of
the class.
