1 American Poetry
2 Definition Creative use of words which, like art, is intended to stir an emotion in the audience. Poetry generally has some structure that separates it from prose.
3 Why students hate poetry XtyI
4 Why we should read and write poetry 4bk
5 How is POETRY different from PROSE? The language of prose is typically straightforward without much decoration. Ideas are contained in sentences that are arranged into paragraphs. There are no line breaks. Poetry is written in lines and stanzas, utilizes sound, meter, rhythm and other poetic elements.
6 Alliteration Repetition of the same sounds or same kind of sounds at the beginning of words or in stressed syllables Silvery snowflakes fall silently Softly sheathing all with moonlight Until sunrise slowly shows Snow softening swiftly
7 Hyperbole An exaggeration or overstatement Example: I had to wait forever.
8 Imagery Descriptions, appealing to the senses (hear, sight, touch, taste, smell) Fog, Carl Sandburg The fog comes on little cat feet. It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on
9 Figurative Language Language, beyond literal meaning, that conveys new effects or insights into an idea or subject Most common: Simile Metaphor Personification
10 Stanza Groups of lines (equivalent to a paragraph in prose) Couplet: two line stanza Triplet: three line stanza Quatrain: four line stanza
11 Meter Set amount of syllables in each line Measured arrangement of words in poetry Rhythmic pattern of a stanza Organized way to arrange stressed/accented syllables and unstressed/unaccented syllables
12 Example of Meter: Whose woods these are I think I know
13 Tone Attitude a writer takes towards a subject, character or audience. Conveyed in author s choice of words.
14 Rhyme/Rhyme Scheme Ending of words sound the same Scheme: Pattern of rhyming words at the end of each line Often have an A/A pattern, an A/B pattern or A/B, C/D pattern (Not all poetry has a rhyme scheme)
15 Rhyme Scheme Example: Dust of Snow, Robert Frost The way a crow Shook down on me The dust of snow From a hemlock tree Has given my heart A change of mood And save some part Of a day I rued
16 Repetition Repeating a sound, word or phrase for emphasis: Inside the house I get ready Inside the car I go to school Inside the school I wait for the bell to ring
17 Onomatopoeia Words or grouping of words that imitate the sound it is describing Examples: oink, meow, boom, click, clang, buzz, bang
18 Onomatopoeia Sound of Nature, Marie Josephine Smith Ticking, tocking. Head is rocking. Tippy toeing Quietly. Snap, crack Crushing branch. Helter, skelter. Run for Shelter. Pitter, patter. Rain starts to fall. Gathering momentum. Becomes a roar. Thiun
19 Assonance The repetition of the same VOWEL sounds in the middle of words, or between two constants. Ex: on a proud, round cloud in a white, high night.
20 Consonance The repetition of the same ending CONSONANTS. Ex: Emily Dickinson T was later when the summer went Than when the cricket came, And yet we knew that gentle clock Meant nought but going home. T was sooner when the cricket went Than when the winter came, Yet that pathetic pendulum Keeps esoteric time.
21 Denotation The dictionary definition of a word. Example: childlike, childish, youthful. They all mean: of, like, appropriate to a child.
22 Connotation The meaning of a word based on how it is used and not it s dictionary definition. Example: childlike, childish, youthful. All have the same denotative meaning, but their connotation is different.

61 I am offering this poem PXXM
62 Who Understands Me but Me njce
63 Writing One thing about me that people often don t understand is that they think I am being sarcastic, when I say things. But, it s actually verbal wit or irony. The difference is a play on words, using contemporary references rather than words meant to bring harm or pain. Thus, people think that I am mean, when really, I am not. Using verbal irony can bring light humor to a situation rather than get angry and lash out. I am actually a very caring person.
