Elements of Poetry

Poetry Poetry is a genre of literature that uses the way words look and sound to transmit meaning to the reader. Poetry entertains the reader in sight and sound.

Anthology A collection of poems included in one book is called an anthology. It can be poems from one author, based a central theme or includes the same types of poetry.

Poetry Parts Stanza – A stanza is a group of lines in a poem. They can be compared to a paragraph in a story. A candy bar. A piece of cake. A lollipop. A chocolate shake. A jelly donut. Chocolate chips. Some gummi worms and licorice whips. A candy cane. A lemon drop. Some bubblegum and soda pop. Vanilla wafers. Cherry punch. (My mom slept in while I made lunch.) Text © Kenn Nesbitt, reprinted from Revenge of the Lunch Ladies, published by Meadowbrook Press. Illustration © Mike & Carl Gordon. Revenge of the Lunch Ladies

A stanza in a poem is like a paragraph in an essay. Each stanza is usually separated by some blank space. Common stanza lengths are two, three, four, six or eight lines. My Lunch A candy bar. A piece of cake. A lollipop. A chocolate shake. A jelly donut. Chocolate chips. Some gummi worms and licorice whips. A candy cane. A lemon drop. Some bubblegum and soda pop. Vanilla wafers. Cherry punch. (My mom slept in while I made lunch.) How many stanzas are in the poem My Lunch? What is the length of the poem?

Rhyme rhyme Repetition of end sounds is called rhyme. My dog chewed up my homework. He slobbered on it, too. So now my homework’s ripped to shreds, And full of slimy goo. (~Bruce Lansky)

Free Verse or Unrhymed Verse Free verse or unrhymed poems do not rhyme or have regular rhythm. American Walt Whitman was one of the first poets to publish free verse poems. I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear, Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and strong, The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam, The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work… ~(From I Hear America Singing by Walt Whitman)

Rhythm Rhythm Rhythm is a regular, patterned repetition of sounds in a poem (the beat). Rhythmrhyme Rhythm and rhyme can give poetry a musical quality. Listen to the Poem, Jake the Snake. See if you can identify the rhythm and rhyme.

Figurative Language Poets and other writers often use figurative language and other poetic devices to make their writing more interesting and expressive.

Examples of Figurative Language  Alliteration  Onomatopoeia  Simile  Metaphor  Idiom

Alliteration Down the slippery slide they slid Sitting slightly sideways; Slipping swiftly see them skid On holidays and Fridays. ~by Michael Rosen Alliteration is the repetition of a consonant sound at the beginning of words.

Onomatopoeia The rusty spigot sputters, utters a splutter, spatters a smattering of drops, gashes wider; slash, splatters, scatters, spurts, finally stops sputtering and plash! gushes rushes splashes clear water dashes. ~by Eve Merriam Words using onomatopoeia are words which imitate the sounds that it makes.

Combination Sometimes a poet will combine two or more literary devices. Can you tell what two devices are used in the verse below? “ice cubes clinking clatter clink, crazily inside my drink” ~ from Ice Cubes by Joan Graham

Simile “ Arithmetic is where numbers fly like pigeons in and out of your head.” ~from Arithmetic by Carl Sandburg A simile is a comparison of two unlike things using _____ or _____. Can you fill in the blanks?

Metaphor Full Circle A little girl clops in mommy's heels, her dress, a floppy hat. The borrowed pearls she's chosen dangle halfway down her back. Her face a shining rainbow, ruby lips, cheeks tinted pink, blue splashes on both eyelids, powder snowflakes in the sink. - From CJ Heck A metaphor is the comparison of two things but doesn't use the word "like" or “as in the sentence or phrase ?

Idiom An idiom is a phrase whose words have a different meaning other than its original meaning. You can't cry over spilled milk! ' my mother always said. 'Life's not a piece of cake! ' she hammered in my head. 'That's the way it goes, ' that's the way the cookie crumbles' My mother saved her idioms for all my idiotic troubles. Jon Randal

Personification Personification gives human characteristics and qualities to nonhuman things like animals and objects. Games Chipmunks chatter and scurry, Blue jays scream and scold. Robins talk and gossip demanding their story to be told. Squirrels skip and box one another and rabbits play hop scotch. The games they play, the sounds they make Really are top notch.
