Poetry

Read the Poem  Read the poem twice – on the second reading use a highlighter.  Make notes on the exam paper.  Highlight interesting imagery/ poetic techniques.  Look for changes in mood or tone.  What is the message – all poems have one.

Technical Terms – not trainspotting!  Alliteration – the repetition of a particular sound for effect e.g. Frozen fingers creates a sound of shivering.  Personification – an idea or object is given human qualities e.g. Busie olde foole, unruly sunne.”  Simile – a comparison made with “like” or “as” e.g. A face like thunder.  Metaphor – a comparison made without “like” or “as” e.g. His face was carved from stone.

More …  Enjambment – one verse flows into the next e.g.  In the sky, a butterfly with a broken wing  Floating downwards.  Oxymoron – two contradictory ideas in one phrase e.g. An icy fire coursed through his veins.  Juxtaposition – two contradictory ideas next to each other e.g. A life of hope and pain.

Even more…  Sonnet – a poem 14 lines long usually dealing with major themes such as love or death.  Ballad – a poem telling a story in short verses, almost like a song.  Narrative Poem – a poem that tells a story.  Persona – the poet pretending to be someone else in order to get the reader to consider another point of view.
