WHAT IS POETRY? ? Poetry is literature writing that aims to convey the poet¡¯s feelings, opinions or ideas about a particular subject and a message about that subject . ? Poetry is a form of writing that uses words to communicate one¡¯s thoughts and feelings about a thing and has an intended message ? It can be defined as a style of writing composed of spoken words that conveys an idea ? According to Cuison (2020), ¡°Poetry is a literary genre written in lines and stanzas. It is a type of literature, or artistic writing, that attempts to stir a reader¡¯s imagination or emotions.¡¯ ? There are many definitions of poetry and this is because people read poems and perceive them differently. However, there one common aspect of defining a poem, is that is evokes feelings to the reader.
PURPOSE OF A POEM ? First and foremost, it is important to note that poems are, at times, difficult to understand and require a lot of reading effort from the reader. ? This is because poets use a range of figures of speech to either define or describe things, even the most simplest ones. ? Therefore, the purpose of a poem is to help us and other people understand the world around us and them, as experienced and viewed by another person ¨C being the poet ¨C and show us again things that we may have taken lightly in the past. ? The other purpose it serves is to allow us to see the world with fresh eyes again, like a new born baby opening their eyes for the very first time.
STRUCTURE OF A POEM ? The title¡­ any idea what it might be? ? A title is the first text that is written at the top of a poem. It is written in bold so that it draws the attention of the reader. ? It is meant to tempt them to read the poem and come up with idea on what the poem may potentially be about. ? A stanza¡­ ? Stanzas are the equivalence of paragraph in an essay. They are a series of lines that are grouped together according to the same idea they share and are separated by skipping a line in between. Moreover, they give structure to the poem. ? Hamidah (2017) states, ¡°In poetry, a stanza is a division of four or more lines having a fixed length, meter or rhyming scheme. Stanza divides a poem in such a way that does not harm its balance but rather it adds to the beauty to the symmetry of a poem.¡±
CONTINUED¡­ ? Poets use a variety of elements to evoke feelings and ideas in their readers. These include similes, metaphors, personification, alliteration, assonance, rhyme, rhythm and symbols, to name a few. ? Similes are comparisons that uses words: like, as or than, it compares between things that are different. Example: On the television aerial look like sultanas ? Metaphors is similar to a simile, it also makes a comparison however does not make use of the words like, as or than. It makes a direct comparison by making the reader picture the subject as if it is the other thing. Example: The beach is the quarter of golden fruit ? Personification is a kind of metaphor that gives human qualities to non-living things. Example: Busy old fool, unruly Sun
CONTINUED¡­ ? Alliteration is the repetition of the same letter or sound at the beginning of two or more words. Example: The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew ? Assonance is the repetition of the same vowel sounds followed by different consonant sounds. Example: Thou still unravish¡¯d bride of quietness. ? Rhyme is when there is an agreement in words of similar sounds in their endings. Example: time, crime way, day ? Rhythm is the beat of pattern that is created or heard when a poem is read. It can evoke the movement of dance . Example: ? Symbols are the use of specific concrete objects to describe an abstract thing. Example: the dove has come to symbolize peace.
