DESCRIPTIVE POETRY

What is descriptive poetry and


example? A descriptive poem is one
that mainly describes the subject -
whether it be a person, an animal,
or an inanimate object often in great
detail, rather than telling a story or
expressing one's feelings. These
poems are all examples of
descriptive poetry.
Descriptive poetry is basically
using words to create mental
images of places, people and
activities through a more detailed
observation of sounds, colours
and motions. These poems also
include personification and
imagery.
Descriptive poetry, unlike
narrative poetry, is known not
necessarily for telling a story but
for its deep depiction of a person,
animal or inanimate object. The
feelings the poet has about this
object are secondary to the
description of the subject, so they
don't get in the way of the visual
imagery.
Peruse an assorted array of
descriptive poem examples.
