  2. Nursery Rhymes • Quickly introduced settings • Simple Plots • Actions – simple to complex • Sound Effects • Figurative Language • Verbal Irony • Humor

  3. Poetry • A single word in poetry says far more than a single word in prose. (Anderson, 264) • Characteristics: rhythm, sound patterns, figurative language, compactness and emotional intensity. • A good poem makes every word count and is concrete, not abstract. • Types of poetry: narrative – storytelling poetry; lyric – song poetry which uses rhythm, sounds and figurative language to evoke emotions.

  4. Rhythm, Sound Patterns and Figurative Language • RHYTHM • A regular pattern is called a meter • Adds meaning to the words chosen by the author • SOUND PATTERNS • Silly words and Onomatopoeia • FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE • Metaphors (implied comparisons) • Similes (explicit comparisons)

  5. Poetic Forms • Concrete Poems – written in a shape reflective of the poem’s content. • Haiku and Tanka – Japanese poetry based on syllabication of each line. • Sijo – Korean poetry based on syllabication and a concept structure for each line.
