Introduction to Prose and Poetry A poem “begins in delight and ends in wisdom”. -Robert Frost

Two major distinctions: Prose occurs in two forms: fiction and nonfiction. Poetry describes the use of extremely concise, musical, and emotionally charged language. EVERY WORD COUNTS IN POETRY

Prose & Poetry: Different but Alike ProseHold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. PoetryHold fast to dreams for if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly.

In prose, sentences are used to express complete thoughts. In poetry, the equivalent is a line. The poet wants their audience to experience a poem line by line. These lines combine together to create the full effect of the poem.

Found Poetry Exercise Found poetry: describes poetry that is made out of prose. 1.Choose a prose passage that contains descriptive language & a strong emotional tone. 2.Choose the most powerful words & phrases from the prose text & arrange them in lines in a way that communicates a message. 3.Read your found poem aloud. Revise as needed.

The Speaker in Poetry Speaker: in a poem, the voice that addresses, or talks to, the reader. The speaker is not necessarily the poet.

Ask Questions About the Speaker 1.Who is the speaker (man, woman, child, animal, plant, object)? 2.How does he, she, or it seem to be feeling? 3.What subject is the speaker talking about? 4.What is the speaker’s tone (attitude)? Does it change? 5.Examine the poem’s diction (word choice). How do the speaker’s words convey the tone? 6.Is the speaker doing anything? If so, what?

Make inferences about the speaker. the drum daddy says the world is a drum tight and hard and i told him i’m gonna beat out my own rhythm -Nikki Giovanni

Literary Techniques (used in poetry & prose) 1.Sensory Language or Imagery is writing that appeals to one or more of the five senses- sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch.

Types: Personification: which gives human qualities to nonhuman things.

Simile: which compares two unlike things using like or as

Metaphor: which describes one thing as if it were something else.

Literary Techniques continued 3. Sound devices: add a musical quality to written language.

Types of Sound Devices: Repetition: the repeated use of a sound, word, or phrase
