READING AND

WRITING POETRY
 ELEMENTS OF GENRE
A. ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS

Theme-the subject of a talk, a piece of writing, a person's thoughts, or an exhibition of a

topic.

Tone-In literature, the tone of a literary work expresses the writer's attitude toward or
feelings about the subject matter and audience.
ELEMENTS FOR SPECIFIC FORMS
B. CONVERSATIONAL FORMS
Tumatawag sa langit
Sana ay ‘wag ma galit
Tadhana’y makita
Malimot pagdududa
Ang pusong malimutin
Sana ay baliktarin
At hindi na aalis
Ang ngiti mong matamis.
Rhyme and Meter-When we talk about a rhyme, we are referring to the repetition of a final
syllable in different words, most often at the ends of lines at certain intervals. Meter is the
rhythm of the language in the poem; it is described by the number of feet in the poem.

Metaphor-a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to

which it is not literally applicable.
FREE VERSE

The line and line break-Line breaks divide poems into lines, and the length of lines
determines the appearance of the poem on the page: long and skinny, short and wide, or a
shape entirely its own. The location of a line break is often dictated by the number of
syllables in the line, but just as often it is freely chosen by the poet.
Enjambments-n poetry, enjambment is incomplete syntax at the end of a line; the meaning
'runs over' or 'steps over' from one poetic line to the next, without punctuation. Lines
without enjambment are end-stopped.
Metaphor-a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to
which it is not literally applicable.
OTHER EXPERIMENTAL TEXTS

Typography-typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written language
legible, readable and appealing when displayed.

Genre-crossing texts-A cross-genre (or hybrid genre) is a genre in fiction that blends
themes and elements from two or more different genres.

Tone-In literature, the tone of a literary work expresses the writer's attitude toward or
feelings about the subject matter and audience.
TECHNIQUES AND LITERARY DEVICES

Literary techniques and literary devices- Literary elements

and literary techniques are both types
of literary devices. Literary elements are “big-
picture” literary devices that extend throughout the entire work,
such as setting, theme, mood, and
allegory. Literary techniques are the literary devices that deal
with individual words and sentences, such as euphemisms and
alliteration.
