  2. Haiku • Poetry that is written in three line format using a certain amount of syllables (not words) in each line (5,7,5). A Haiku is usually about a season or nature. • Example: Text Page 598.

  3. Limerick • Limericks are a fun and tricky type of poetry. The secret lies in finding the right rhythm. The first, second, and fifth lines must have the same number of syllables (usually 8). To make it trickier, the third and fourth lines are shorter with the same amount of syllables. They follow AABBA pattern.

  4. Couplet • A couplet follows the pattern of a pair of successive rhyming lines which are the same length, closed by a period.

  5. Ballad • Follows the format of a narrative song, telling a story with a moral or lesson. • Ballad stanzas consist of four lines (quatrain) following the format AABB or ABCB. • Usually on a theme of love, tragedy, or history. • Third-person narration with an emphasis on emotion. • Includes a refrain which is repeated and divides segments of the story. • Can include dialogue using quotation marks.

  6. Starting with Ballads: • Exploring syllables in the following: • A ballad stanza in a poem • Has lines as long as these. • In measuring the line, we find • We get both fours and threes. Exploring ballads in music form- Bob Dylan’s “Shelter from the Storm.”
