12 What is Poetry? "Picking Words for the Sound and the Meaning" "Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility. Wordsworth! Yes? Thanks for the intro we'll take it from here. What's going on? What's 1.? Here's what I've found, It's when you've written and are spitting words for their meaning and sound, Poems, they pack an emotional punch, Whether a 2., a 3. or a 4. for fun, Some poetry has a super strict form But it could be formless and be a super slick poem. A poem written in verse you'll find, Most have meter and many have rhyme. What's5.? It's the opposite of poetry, It's straightforward like a newspaper story see? Prose has rules to be grammatical But with poems, rules go on sabbatical. You can do whatever you dream Cool Runnings, And drop capitals like e.e. cummings, And break grammatical rules with abandon, Tell Keats and Yeats you're coming for the canon. Poetry picking words for their sound, And the meaning, when they're written everyone'll gather 'round, Poetry kickin' over what's literal, And getting figurative with any lil' 6. x2 Want some Figurative language? The choice is yours, And like umpires now you know the score, goes beyond literal meaning. Using 9. and metaphors and even Appealing to the fives senses, that's imagery. Now let's compare prose to some poetry: "Fog appeared in the harbor and city." That's some pretty simple prose, you get me? Carl Sandburg's poem has figures of speech: The fog comes on little cat feet That's a 10. about the paws of a kitty, Who, sits looking over the harbor and city.

13 Now fog doesn't really 'look' 'cause it's not alive, But the poet got creative, yeah, he 11.. Yeah, Sandburg's expressive language shines, So read and writes poems, it'll blow your mind, let's do! Poetry picking words for their sound, And the meaning, when they're written everyone'll gather 'round, Poetry kickin' over what's literal, And getting figurative with any lil' syllable x2 Poets often use a sound device, Like rhyming when some words sound alike. You can use rhyme in a That's a pattern of rhymes at the end of each line, see. It could be ABAB, Or AABB, or many others, do you see? But you don't have to rhyme in your composition, You could write in free 14. (see what I did there?) 15. is another sound device, Just repeat first consonants, that'll sound nice. Like Rise up for you the flag is flung, Some alliteration fr-from Walt Whitman. And lastly, let's hit up 16., When the sound of the word gives a clue about its meaning. Rumble and rattle sound like echoes from a yell, Like It rumbled through the valley; it rattled in the dell. Poetry picking words for their sound, And the meaning, when they're written everyone'll gather 'round, Poetry kickin' over what's literal, And getting figurative with any lil' syllable x2 Impressive. It occurs to me your rap songs could be considered poetry...striking resemblances! Well, with that, I must bid you adieu and return to the netherworld.

14 Name Date e What is Poetry? "Picking Words for the Sound and the Meaning" Learn more about this topic! Each section gives more detail on one of the lyrics from the song. Read each section, and then respond by answering the question or taking notes on key ideas. Lyric: a haiku, a sonnet or a limerick for fun Notes Title page from 1609 publication of Shakespeare's sonnets A poetic form is a type of poem with specific rules for rhyme, rhythm and/or subject matter. Two poetic forms are haikus and sonnet s. s A haiku is a traditional Japanese poetic form. It consists of three unrhymed lines with specific syllable counts: five syllables in the first line, seven syllables in the second and five in the third. Haikus are often about nature and the seasons. A sonnet is a 14-line poem with a set rhyme scheme and a particular syllable pattern called iambic pentameter. Different types of sonnets have different rhyme schemes. An English, or Shakespearean, sonnet usually follows the rhyme scheme of: ABABCDCDEFEFGG. The final two lines, a couplet, summarize the main idea of the poem. Lyric: A poem written in verse you'll find, Most have meter and many have rhyme. What's prose? It's the opposite of poetry Notes Portrait of Charles Baudelaire Sometimes you can tell right away that you re looking at a poem. How? Because the lines will break before they reach the right margin of the page, forming verses. A verse is a single line of poetry. It may be a full sentence or just a phrase. A stanza is like a poem s paragraph; it is a group of verses bound together to form one section of a poem. Stanzas are separated by a line of space and are sometimes numbered. 1

15 Lyric: Want some Figurative language? The choice is yours Notes The moon is not a real person. When you use figurative language, you say or write something in a creative way. Your writing goes beyond the literal meaning of your words. Met aphor and simile are two types of figurative language. Both use comparisons. A simile compares two things that are alike in some way using the words like or as. Metaphors do not use the words like or as and instead suggest that one thing is the other. Writers use personificat ion when they give a human quality to something nonhuman. Lyric: It could be ABAB, Or AABB, or many others, do you see Notes Poetry can take many different forms. A rhyme scheme is the pattern of rhyming lines in a poem. We can describe rhyme scheme using letters to indicate different rhymes. Imagine a four-line poem, or quatrain. If every line rhymed, we d say this poem had a rhyme scheme of AAAA. If every other line rhymed, the rhyme scheme would be ABAB. ABAC would mean only lines 1 and 3 rhymed. Lyric: You could write in free verse (see what I did there?) Notes Photograph of American poet, Carl Sandberg A poem that doesn t follow specific rules for rhythm or rhyme is written in free verse. What makes a piece of writing a poem if it has no rhyme or rhythm? For a start, it is written in verse instead of in prose. But beyond that, the language is rich with imagery and poetic devices, including personification and metaphor. 2

16 Lyric: another sound device Notes Drawing of a slippery snake A sound device is a tool poets use to express meaning through the sound of their words. Alliteration ion and onomat opoeia are two sound devices, but there are others. Allit erat ion is the repetition of the first consonant sounds of words. Onomat opoeia is a word that imitates the sound that it s describing, like clang or sizzle. 3

,, or. by way of a passing reference. The reader has to make a connection. Extended Metaphor a comparison between things that

,, or. by way of a passing reference. The reader has to make a connection. Extended Metaphor a comparison between things that Vocab and Literary Terms Connotations that is by a word apart from the thing which it describes explicitly. Words carry cultural and emotional associations or meanings, in addition to their literal meanings.
