  1. Poetry

  2. Stanza • A group of lines whose metrical and rhyming pattern is repeated throughout the poem.

  3. Meter: • a rhythm of accented and unaccented syllables which are organized into patterns, called feet. • meter is a recurring pattern of stressed (accented, or long) and unstressed (unaccented, or short) syllables in lines of a set length.

  4. Meter: • Each pair of unstressed and stressed syllables makes up a unit called a foot. The line contains five feet in all, as shown next: • The unstressed syllables are in blue and the stressed syllables in red.  • ShallIcomPAREtheeTOaSUMmer’sDAY?

  5. Rhyme • The use of words whose final vowel syllables make the same sound. By placing these words at the end of each line the poet creates a desired cadence to the poem. • Example: How do you know where an elephant will go?

  6. Rhyme Scheme • the pattern in which the rhymed line endings are arranged in a poem or stanza. This may be expressed as a sequence of recurrences in which each line ending on the same rhyme is given the same alphabetic symbol: thus the rhyme scheme of a limerick is given the notation: aabba

  7. Example of Rhyme Scheme • A flea and a fly in a flue- a • Were caught, so what could they do?- a • Said the fly, "Let us flee.“- b • "Let us fly," said the flea.- b • So they flew through a flaw in the flue.- a

  8. Ballad • a relatively short narrative poem, written to be sung, with a simple and dramatic action. The ballads tell of love, death, the supernatural, or a combination of these. • The ballad stanza is four lines; commonly, the first and third lines contain four feet or accents, the second and fourth lines contain three feet.

  9. Ode: • usually a lyric poem of moderate length, with a serious subject, an elevated style, and an elaborate stanza pattern.

  10. Lyric poems • a short poem with one speaker (not necessarily the poet) who expresses thought and feeling. Though it is sometimes used only for a brief poem about feeling; it is more often applied to a poem expressing the complex evolution of thoughts and feeling, such as the elegy, the dramatic monologue, and the ode. The emotion is or seems personal In classical Greece, the lyric was a poem written to be sung, accompanied by a lyre.

  11. Epics • A long and highly stylized narrative poem celebrating the heroic achievements of its hero. Homer's Iliad and Odyssey are usually regarded as the first important epic poems and are considered to define the form. • Examples: The most important epic poem written in English is "Paradise Lost" by John Milton.

  12. Haiku • a form of Japanese poetry, consisting of 17 Japanese on (a phonetic unit identical to the mora), in three metrical phrases with the number of syllables of 5 (first line), 7 (second line), and 5 (third or last line) or on respectively[1], and typically containing or seasonal reference. In Japanese, haiku are traditionally printed in a single vertical line, while haiku in English usually appear in three lines, to equate to the Japanese haiku's three metrical phrases[2].
