Definition: Poetry is a type of writing that uses a special form, sound devices, and figurative language to stir reader’s imagination and emotions

Form is the way a poem looks on a page. One difference between poetry and fiction (or other types of writing) is form. Form is the way a poem looks on a page. Poems are written using lines and stanzas. Line: a single word, a sentence, or part of sentence. Stanza: groups of lines that are separated by spaces. How do poems look different from other types of writing?

Line: basic structural component of a poem Line: basic structural component of a poem. Literally, a row of words that ends somewhere. A word is dead When it is said Some say I say it just Begins to live That day Form: The way an entire poem looks on a page Space separating two stanzas Stanza: a group of lines in a poem that are considered a unit. Separated by spaces. Like prose paragraphs, only for poetry. Conveys a single idea.

A second difference between poetry and fiction is that poems have a speaker while fiction has a narrator. Speaker: the voice that “talks” to readers. The speaker is usually completely separate from the poet (author) and is similar to a narrator. Read the poem “I’m a Fine Head of Lettuce” on the next slide. Who is the speaker in this poem? How do you know?

Who is the speaker? What pun is found in the last line? Rhyme scheme- A (lettuce) B (romaine) C (cranium) B (brain)

SOUND DEVICES Rhyme: The repetition of sounds at the ends of words, thing and sing EX: The orange cat/sat on a blue mat/ and wore a purple hat Repetition: The use of a word, phrase, sound or line more than once EX: Twinkle, twinkle little star Alliteration: The repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words EX: Sandy watched the sandstorm swirling in the shadows. Onomatopoeia: A word that sounds like what is being described. EX: Buzz, crash, drip

What sound devices do you hear in this poem?

FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE Definitions: Figurative Language: the use of creative comparisons to describe familiar things in new ways Imagery: words and phrases that call up pictures in your mind and appeal to your senses (sight, smell, hearing, tasting, feeling) Simile: A comparison between two unlike things that includes the words like or as EX: Her hair was red like flames. Metaphor: a comparison between two unlike things that does not include the words like or as EX: The baby was a spider as he crawled across the floor. Personification: a description of an object, an animal, or an idea as if it were human or had human qualities and reactions Ex: The bees played hide and seek among the flowers.
