Elements of Poetry Poetry is not prose. Prose is:ordinary language people use in speaking or writing Poetry is: a form of literary expression captures intense experiences

Distinguishing Characteristics of Poetry Unlike prose which has a narrator, poetry has a speaker.A speaker, or voice, talks to the reader. The speaker is not necessarily the poet. It can also be a fictional person, an animal or even a thingPoetry is also formatted differently from prose.A line is a word or row of words that may or may not form a complete sentence.A stanza is a group of lines in a poem. The stanzas in a poem are separated by a space.

Prose Vs. Poetry No rhyme No pattern/rhythm No line division Can use images Can target emotionsDivisions are paragraphsRhymed/UnrhymedFollows a beat/has rhythmLine divisionUses images to focus on a particular ideaTargets emotions through use of imagesDivisions are stanzas

Prose   A woman stands on a mountain top with the cold seeping into her body. She looks on the valley below as the wind whips around her. She cannot leave to go to the peaceful beauty below.          In the valley, the sun shines from behind the clouds causing flowers to bloom. A breeze sends quivers through the leaves of trees. The water gurgles in a brook. All the woman can do is cry.What literary devices exist in this piece of prose?

Poetry     The Woman on the Peak          The woman stands upon the barren peak,          Gazing down on the world beneath.          The lonely chill seeps from the ground         Into her feet, spreading, upward bound.         The angry wind whistles ‘round her head,         Whipping her hair into streaming snakes,         While she watches, wishes, weakly wails.         Beyond the mountain, sunshine peeks,         Teasing flowers to survive and thrive.         The breeze whispers through the leaves,         Causing gentle quivers to sway the trees.         Laughter gurgles as the splashing brook         Playfully tumbles over rugged rocks,         While the woman above can only grieve. What literary devices exist in this piece of poetry?

In the pathway of the sun, In the footsteps of the breeze, Where the world and sky are one, He shall ride the silver seas, He shall cut the glittering wave. I shall sit at home, and rock;Rise, to heed a neighbor’s knock;Brew my tea, and snip my thread;Bleach the linen for my bed. They will call him brave. “Penelope” by Dorothy Parker A B A B C D D E E C

Blackout Poetry The basic idea behind blackout poetry is that the poet takes a found document ( newspaper clipping, page of a book, article, etc.) and crosses out a majority of the existing text, leaving visible only the words that compose and original poem; thereby revealing an entirely new work of literature birthed from an existing one. The striking imagery or design of the text and the remaining readable text work together to form a new piece of visual poetry. Pretty cool, right?

English sonnets consist of 14 lines; three, four line stanzas (quatrains) accompanied by a two line (couplets) closing stanza.  The rhyming scheme for an English Sonnet is:ababcdcdefefggTo repeat one’s lovely self twice dailyAnd to tell the time is quite the ticket;While grinding your shining gears quite gailyWithin ticking metal so intricate.It just takes some time and its’ dictationTo fuel your ever-working little handsSilently counting the world’s rotationsAs wind blows hard upon the dusty sands.A clever guardian of all that breathesAnd of everything that’s rightly true; An invisible sower of the seeds But will you choose to see tomorrow through ?   You can erode the world down to the last Teller of future, and keeper of past.

Assonance Repetition of vowel sounds typically in the center of a word. Examples “That solit ude which suits abstruser musings” - Samuel Taylor Coleridge “Hear the mellow wedding bells.” — Edgar Allen Poe

Assonance Examples Writers sometimes repeat vowel sounds to reinforce the meaning of the words. It also helps to create moods. Here, the long o sounds mysterious. Poetry is old, ancient, goes back far. It is among the oldest of living things. So old it is that no man knows how and why the first poems came. --Carl Sandburg, Early MoonAnd so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the sideOf my darling, my darling, my life and my bride. --Edgar Allan Poe, "Annabel Lee"

Consonance Repetition of a consonant sound that is not at the beginning of the word—appears in the middle or end of words. Example The sun goes down“as in guys she gently sways at ease” –Robert FrostThe letter was blank, and she didn’t even blink.Sound beside the wood

Onomatopoeia The process of creating or using words that imitate sounds. Buzz Chirp Baah BangBeepclatterding

Onomatopoeia Poem What Some People Do Crackling Hearts Swoosh , whoosh a salty sea soars,splish-splash colossal waves a roar.Drip-drop, a leaky faucet spent,trickle, streaming tears repent.Pounding heart sore, you adore,beating, loving pumps no more.Thump of regret, of love in debt,thrashing together you forget.Fluttering beats on retreat,sloshing a scent so very sweet.Shattering bond, broken beyond,a bellowing future now so fond.Grimacing glares, hatred a flares,spawning an odium of stares.Soured smiles, trekking every mile,whispering woes all the while.Crackling hearts, burned apart,smoldering pain from the start.Hissing highs, kissing goodbye,a burning love affair denied.
