  1. Types of Poetry and Examples

  2. Allegorical Poetry • is a figurative mode of representation conveying a meaning other than the literal. Allegory teaches a lesson through symbolism.

  3. The Faerie QueenebyEdmund Spenser Lo I the man, whose Muse whilome did maske,As time her taught, in lowly Shepheards weeds,Am now enforst a far vnfitter taske,For trumpets sterne to chaunge mine Oaten reeds,And sing of Knights and Ladies gentle deeds;Whose prayses hauing slept in silence long,Me, all too meane, the sacred Muse areedsTo blazon broad emongst her learned throng:Fierce warres and faithfull loues shall moralize my song.

  4. Lyrical Poetry • Lyric Poetry consists of a poem, such as a sonnet or an ode, that expresses the thoughts and feelings of the poet. The term lyric is now commonly referred to as the words to a song.

  5. " I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" by William Wordsworth I WANDERED lonely as a cloudThat floats on high o'er vales and hills,When all at once I saw a crowd,A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees,Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

  10. Ode To A NightingalebyJohn Keats • My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness painsMy sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk,Or emptied some dull opiate to the drainsOne minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk:

  12. Midway on our life's journey, I found myself                     In dark woods, the right road lost. To tellAbout those woods is hard--so tangled and roughAnd savage that thinking of it now, I feelThe old fear stirring: death is hardly more bitter.            And yet, to treat the good I found there as wellI'll tell what I saw, thought how I came to enterI cannot well say, being so full of sleepWhatever moment it was I began to blunderOff the truepath....

  17. The Owl and the Pussy-Cat -Edward Lear The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea    In a beautiful pea green boat,They took some honey, and plenty of money,    Wrapped up in a five pound note.The Owl looked up to the stars above,    And sang to a small guitar,'O lovely Pussy!

  19. (Italian/Petrarchan) "London, 1802" – Wordsworth Milton! thou shouldst be living at this hour: England hath need of thee: she is a fen Of stagnant waters: altar, sword, and pen, Fireside, the heroic wealth of hall and bower, Have forfeited their ancient English dower Of inward happiness. We are selfish men; Oh! raise us up, return to us again; And give us manners, virtue, freedom, power. Thy soul was like a Star, and dwelt apart; Thou hadst a voice whose sound was like the sea: Pure as the naked heavens, majestic, free, So didst thou travel on life's common way, In cheerful godliness; and yet thy heart The lowliest duties on herself did lay. English/Shakesperean) "Sonnet XXIX" - Shakespear When in disgrace with Fortune and men's eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state, And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries, And look upon myself and curse my fate, Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, Featured like him, like him with friends possessed, Desiring this man's art and that man's scope, With what I most enjoy contented least, Yet in these thoughts my self almost despising, Haply I think on thee, and then my state, (Like to the lark at break of day arising From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven's gate, For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings, That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

  20. Carpe Diem • Carpe diem is a Latin expression that means "seize the day." Carpe diem poems have the theme of living for today.

  21. Gather ye rose-budsbyRobert Herrick • Gather ye rose-buds while ye may,Old Time is still a-flying:And this same flower that smiles to-day,To-morrow will be dying.

  22. Blank Verse • Excerpt from MacbethbyWilliam Shakespeare • Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

  23. Free Verse • Free Verse is a form of Poetry composed of either rhymed or unrhymed lines that have no set fixed metrical pattern.

  24. Song of MyselfbyWalt Whitman • I celebrate myself, and sing myself,And what I assume you shall assume,For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.I loaf and invite my soul,I lean and loaf at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
