Different Types of Poetry
Agenda Today I will begin by reviewing poetic terms and several types of poetry. Once I have done this it will be your mission to look over the rest of the powerpoint on your own and determine which style of poetry looks the most interesting to you. By the end of the period, let me know what style of poetry you plan to use. BONUS: If you want to know more about the poem Annabel Lee, check out the detailed analysis PowerPoint in the same page you opened these instructions from!
Poetry Slam! Poetry Slam! We will perform our poems individually to the whole class on Monday. Project your voice loud and clap for your peers after each poem!
Poetry terms Consonance Assonance Alliteration Internal rhyme Slant rhyme/off rhyme Repetition Stanzas Lines Rhyme scheme Rhythm Theme Tone/mood symbols
Stanzas and Lines Stanzas Stanzas are like the paragraphs of poems. They are usually grouped together by the rhyme pattern and/or number of lines that they have. Lines ines are like the sentences of poems. They are a single set of words grouped together within a stanza
Example O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful trip is done; The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won; The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring: But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead.
CONSONANCE internal consonant sounds close proximity to one another sounds in Bless Bitt tten, matt tter Blood d shed, ss, curs se, chess ss, hiss ss, tes st, d, red d Assonance internal vowel sounds close proximity to one another vowel sounds in Go o, lo ow, elbo ow Re est, be est, depressed
Palindrome poems Palindromes are read the same forwards and backwards letter by letter. In some cases, such as Palindrome poetry, they can be forward and backward word by word, or sentence by sentence.
Contrast Poems A contrast poem takes a concept or them and approaches it from two drastically different perspectives. Pick any poem you have written so far and reread it carefully. Now, set about writing something that could be the thematic opposite of the original work. Write this on a loose sheet of paper. Ex. The first poem was about a young man finding love, the second is about an old woman losing it. In both, the subject is still love, simply different aspects of it.
The Tiger TIGER, tiger, burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry? The Lamb By William Blake Little Lamb who made thee Dost thou know who made thee Gave thee life & bid thee feed. By the stream & o'er the mead; Gave thee clothing of delight, Softest clothing wooly bright; Gave thee such a tender voice, Making all the vales rejoice! Little Lamb who made thee Dost thou know who made thee In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand dare seize the fire? And what shoulder and what art Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand and what dread feet? What the hammer? what the chain? In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? What dread grasp Dare its deadly terrors clasp? Little Lamb I'll tell thee, Little Lamb I'll tell thee! He is called by thy name, For he calls himself a Lamb: He is meek & he is mild, He became a little child: I a child & thou a lamb, We are called by his name. Little Lamb God bless thee. Little Lamb God bless thee. When the stars threw down their spears, And water'd heaven with their tears, Did He smile His work to see? Did He who made the lamb make thee? Tiger, tiger, burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

Riddle poem A riddle poem is a poem with a mystery built in, typically with a specific answer to said mystery. Who am I? I am bright then the morning star when I come down destruction follows the death rises as I get louder you quake at my might a bright flash followed by a loud bang so flash, flash, flash my power comes down lives crumble And They All Fall Down! Ryan Albert
Epitaph A short poem, saying or other message on a gravestone in memory of a deceased person. EX: For Mary Fowler, 1792, age 24, Milford, CT Molly tho pleasant in her day Was suddenly seized and went away How soon she s ripe, how soon she s rotten Laid in her grave and soon forgotten.
Quatrain Poems Quatrains are four line poems that may follow any of one of the four different rhyme schemes. (ABAB, AABB, ABBA, ABCA) When Quatrains begin to make up a long poem the quatrains are then called stanzas. EX. The rushing ocean waves Beat harshly on the sand. They roar and crash and foam As they break upon the land.
The Sonnet The word sonnet means a little sound or song . A sonnet is a highly-structured 14 line poem that explores deeply felt issues such as the fleeting nature of love and the aching questions of mortality. A traditional sonnet has 14 lines, each of which is written in iambic pentameter. That is each line has 5 metric units or feet, and each foot consists of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable.
Blank Verse Blank Verse is poetry that is written in unrhymed iambic pentameter. Example 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. - Excerpt from Macbeth by William Shakespeare
