A. DEFINITION OF POETRY
Considered to be the oldest form of literature, poetry started as spoken by our forefathers but
over time, poetry evolved into being written and performed. Moreover, poetry is a form of literature
that uses aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language to evoke meanings. It is also a style of writing
that uses a formal organization and is often divided up into lines or stanzas.
B. ELEMENTS OF POETRY
1. Stanza- group of lines in a poem often separated by space.

2. Verse- is the line of a poem arranged in a metrical pattern.

3. Rhyme- correspondence of sound between words or the endings of words, especially when
these are used at the ends of lines of poetry.
a. End rhyme occurs when the last words in two lines of poetry rhyme.
b. Internal rhyme is correspondence of sound between words.
c. Slant rhyme (or approximate rhyme) is the term used to refer to the suggestion of a
rhyme that is not exact, as found in the words laugh and taught.
4. Rhyming Scheme- larger pattern of rhyme in a poem. Rhyme schemes are commonly
indicated by a letter pattern where a different represents a new rhyme, as in abab cdcd efef
gg.
a. Alternating rhyme, crossed rhyme, or interlocking rhyme: ABAB
b. Intermittent rhyme: Every other line rhymes
c. Envelope rhyme or inserted rhyme: ABBA
d. Irregular rhyme: No fixed pattern to the rhyming
5. Mood - is the feeling created by the poet for the reader. Some words that can describe the
mood of a poem might be: romantic, realistic, optimistic, pessimistic, gloomy, mournful,
sorrowful, etc.
6. Tone - is the feeling displayed by the author toward the subject of the poem. Some words that
can describe the tone of a poem might be: serious, humorous, amused, angry, playful, cheerful,
sad, gloomy, etc.
This poem’s mood could be described as
Deadly Winter
gloomy because the poem is about death.
Barren branches pierce the sky,
Chattering in the shivering breeze.
The tone might be described as serious.
The clouds hold captive
The words used in the poem give clues as to
Rays of the gloomy sunshine.
how the author feels about winter. Words
Blades of grass brown and tattered
like: barren, chattering, shivering, gloomy,
From frost’s sharp fingernails.
tattered, sharp fingernails, squeezes the last
Winter squeezes the last breath
breath...all show that the author does not
Out of all that once thrived
look at winter in a good way.
7. Theme- is its underlying message, or 'big idea.' In other words, what critical belief about life is
the author trying to convey in the writing of a novel, play, short story or poem? This belief, or
idea, transcends cultural barriers. It is usually universal in nature. When a theme is universal,
it touches on the human experience, regardless of race or language. It is what the story means.
Often, a piece of writing will have more than one theme.

Is there a written rule book,

that tells you how to be—
all the right things to talk about—
that everyone has but me?
Slowly I am withering—
a flowered deprived of sun;
longing to belong to—
somewhere or someone.

“Poetry is what in a poem makes you laugh, cry, prickle, be silent, makes your toe nails
twinkle, makes you want to do this or that or nothing, makes you know that you are alone in the
unknown world, that your bliss and suffering is forever shared and forever all your own.”
-Dylan Thomas
A. KINDS OF POETRY
1. Lyric Poetry- is a comparatively short, non-narrative poem in which a single speaker
presents a state of mind or an emotional state. Lyric poetry retains some of the elements
of song which is said to be its origin: For Greek writers the lyric was a song accompanied
by the lyre.
a. Elegy- is a formal lament for the death of a particular person (for example Tennyson’s
In Memoriam A.H.H.). More broadly defined, the term elegy is also used for solemn
meditations, often on questions of death, such as Gray's Elegy Written in a Country
Churchyard.
b. Ode- is a type of lyrical stanza. It is an elaborately structured poem praising or glorifying
an event or individual, describing nature intellectually as well as emotionally. It is also
a long lyric poem with a serious subject written in an elevated style.

c. Sonnet- was originally a love poem which dealt with the lover’s sufferings and hopes.
It originated in Italy and became popular in England in the Renaissance, when Thomas
Wyatt and the Earl of Surrey translated and imitated the sonnets written by Petrarch
(Petrarchan sonnet).
The sonnet uses a single stanza of (usually) fourteen lines and an intricate
rhyme pattern (see stanza forms). Many poets wrote a series of sonnets linked by the
same theme, so-called sonnet cycles (for instance Petrarch, Spenser, Shakespeare,
Drayton, Barret-Browning, Meredith) which depict the various stages of a love
relationship.
2. Narrative Poetry- gives a verbal representation, in verse, of a sequence of connected
events, it propels characters through a plot. It is always told by a narrator. Narrative poems
might tell of a love story (like Tennyson's Maud), the story of a father and son (like
Wordsworth's Michael) or the deeds of a hero or heroine (like Walter Scott's Lay of the Last
Minstrel).
a. Epics usually operate on a large scale, both in length and topic, such as the founding
of a nation (Virgil’s Aeneid) or the beginning of world history (Milton's Paradise Lost),
they tend to use an elevated style of language and supernatural beings take part in the
action. Epics are poems usually about the adventures of heroes.
b. Ballad is a song, originally transmitted orally, which tells a story. It is an important form
of folk poetry which was adapted for literary uses from the sixteenth century onwards.
3. Dramatic Poetry - encompasses a highly emotional story that's written in verse and meant
to be recited. It usually tells a story or refers to a specific situation.
a. Soliloquy- a character speaks mainly to himself, not interacting with anyone else. It
typically is a good way to quickly show what he thinks, wants or is going to do, because
it gives insights into his mind. Perhaps the best example comes from William
Shakespeare’s tragic play, Hamlet, in which Hamlet questions whether it is better to
live or die.
b. Dramatic monologue - very similar to a soliloquy in that it reveals something about
the speaking character. The main difference is that, here, the actor is talking to
someone else in the play, not just himself.
