Here along this way but I,

This autumn evening.

A couple of doves,

Beaks touching on their way,

Are stepping out in the sun.Slide14

Refrain

Refrain Poetry Term is a phrase, line, or group of lines that is repeated throughout a poem, usually after each stanza. Slide15

Example

The Raven By Edgar Allan Poe

And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting

On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;

And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,

And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;

And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor

Shall be lifted nevermore. Slide16

Limerick

Limericks are short sometimes bawdy, humorous poems of consisting of five

Anapaestic

lines. Lines 1, 2, and 5 of a Limerick have seven to ten syllables and rhyme with one another. Lines 3 and 4 have five to seven syllables and also rhyme with each other. Slide17

Imagery

Imagery Poems draw the reader into poetic experiences by touching on the images and

senses which the reader already knows. The use of images in this type of poetry serves to intensify the impact of the work.Slide18

Example

The Love Song of J. Alfred

Prufrock

By T. S. Eliot

Let us go then, you and I,

When the evening is spread out against the sky

Like a patient

etherised

upon a table;

Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,

The muttering retreats

Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels

And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:

Streets that follow like a tedious argument

Of insidious intent

To lead you to an overwhelming question…

Oh, do not ask, “What is it?”

Let us go and make our visit.

In the room the women come and go

Talking of Michelangelo.Slide19

Narrative

Narrative Poetry is found in different types of poetry such as Ballads, Epics, and Lays. All of these examples are different kinds of narrative poems some of which are the length of a book such as the Song of Hiawatha or the Iliad.

Slide20

Example

Hiawatha's Departure from The Song of Hiawatha

by

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

By the shore of

Gitchie

Gumee

,

By the shining Big-Sea-Water,

At the doorway of his wigwam,

In the pleasant Summer morning,

Hiawatha stood and waited.

All the air was full of freshness,

All the earth was bright and joyous,

And before him through the sunshine,

Westward toward the neighboring forest

Passed in golden swarms the

Ahmo

,

Passed the bees, the honey-makers,

Burning, singing in the sunshine.

Bright above him shown the heavens,

Level spread the lake before him;

From its bosom leaped the sturgeon,

A sparkling, flashing in the sunshine;

On its margin the great forest

Stood reflected in the water,

Every tree-top had its shadow,

Motionless beneath the water.

From the brow of Hiawatha

Gone was every trace of sorrow,

As the fog from off the water,

And the mist from off the meadow.

With a smile of joy and triumph,

With a look of exultation,

As of one who in a vision

Sees what is to be, but is not,

Stood and waited Hiawatha.Slide21

Quatrain

A Quatrain Poetry Type or literary term is a stanza or poem of four lines. Lines 2 and 4 must rhyme. Lines 1 and 3 may or may not rhyme. Rhyming lines should have a similar number of syllables.Slide22

Example

The

Tyger

by

William Blake

Tyger

!

Tyger! burning brightIn the forests of the night,What immortal hand or eye

Could frame thy fearful symmetry?Slide23
