2 Poetry What is poetry? Who knows? Not a rose, but the scent of a rose; Not the sky, but the light in the sky; Not the fly, but the gleam of the fly; Not the sea, but the sound of the sea; Not myself, but what makes me See, hear, and feel something that prose Cannot: and what it is, who knows? By Eleanor Farjeon

3 Reading for Meaning To find meaning in a poem, readers ask questions as they read. There are many things to pay attention to when reading a poem: Title Provides clues about topic, mood, speaker, author s purpose? Rhythm Fast or slow? Why? Sound Devices What effects do they have? Imagery What pictures do we make in our minds? Figures of Speech What do they tell us about the subject? Voice Who is speaking - poet or character; one voice or more? Author s Purpose Sending message, sharing feelings, telling story, being funny, being descriptive? Mood Happy, sad, angry, thoughtful, silly, excited, frightened? Plot What is happening in the poem? Remember, to make meaning, readers must make connections and tap into their background knowledge and prior experiences as they read.

As the rising meters go from unstressed syllables to stressed ones, they mainly use iamb and anapest feet. If the falling meters go from stressed syllables to unstressed ones, they mostly use trochee and dactyl feet.

11 Mood - Barefoot Days In the morning, very early, That s the time I love to go Barefoot where the fern grows curly And grass is cool between each toe, On a summer morning-o! On a summer morning! That is when the birds go by Up the sunny slopes of air, And each rose has a butterfly Or a golden bee to wear; And I am glad in every toe Such a summer morning-o! Such a summer morning! Barefoot Days by Rachel Field Mood - Mad Song I shut my door To keep you out Won t do no good To stand and shout Won t listen to A thing you say Just time you took Yourself away I lock my door To keep me here Until I m sure You disappear.

My Pinto leaked just too much oil And braking fluid too. Everywhere my Pinto drove, Emitting blackened fumes, It choked dogs, old ladies too, And fragrant springtime blooms.
