MUSIC TO MY EARS POETRY

WHAT IS POETRY? The dictionary states that poetry is the art of rhythmical composition, written or spoken, for pleasure by beautiful, imaginative, or elevated thoughts. What do you think of when you think of poetry?

TYPES OF POETRY Some poems are written in couplets. Couplets are poems written in two lines that rhyme.

STANZAS AND RHYME SCHEME Some poems are written using stanzas. A stanza is an arrangement of a certain number of lines, usually four or more, sometimes having a fixed rhyme scheme. Rhyme scheme is the pattern of rhyming found in the stanza of a poem. Examples: AABB – The first two lines rhyme and the second two lines rhyme ABAB – the first and third lines rhyme and the second an fourth lines rhyme. Can you think of other rhyme schemes?

ELEMENTS OF POETRY We will look at different elements of poetry during this unit. There are seven elements of poetry… Imagery Similes Metaphors Personification Hyperbole Alliteration Onomatopoeia

IMAGERY Poems that use imagery appeal to the reader’s senses. The author appeals to the reader’s senses by helping the reader to imagine really seeing, hearing, tasting, touching, or smelling the object being described.

SIMILES AND METAPHORS A simile is a type of figurative language that uses like or as to compare unlike things. Can you think of an example? A metaphor is a type of figurative language that does not use like or as to compare unlike things. Can you think of an example?

EXAMPLES What one of these sounds better? You are pretty. You are as pretty as a flower blooming in Spring. Which one of these sounds better? You are pretty. You are a rose blooming in Spring. Which one is a simile? Which one is a metaphor?

EXAMPLES Let’s take a look at some similes in a place that you might not expect to hear them. yt/watch?videoId=sWDSxmMo9Z0 yt/watch?videoId=sWDSxmMo9Z0 Here is a look at some more examples. yt/watch?v=zNFeAgUzpEQ yt/watch?v=zNFeAgUzpEQ

PERSONIFICATION Personification is giving human qualities to non-human things. Example: My pencil danced across the page as I wrote. Can a pencil really dance?

HYPERBOLE A hyperbole is an extreme exaggeration used to make a point. Example: The man reached out and touched the sky.

SOUND DEVICE: ALLITERATION Alliteration is using a repeated beginning sound. Example: Sally sold seashells by the seashore.

SOUND DEVICE: ONOMATOPOEIA Onomatopoeia are words that imitate natural sounds. Examples: The car went zoom. Buzzzzz was the sound heard in the meadow.

FIGURE OF SPEECH: IDIOMS In addition to the elements of poetry, authors may use figures of speech to help express themselves. Idiom An idiom is a phrase or saying whose meaning is not the same as the words spoken. What do the following idioms mean? Between a rock and a hard place Blow your top By the skin of your teeth Get your wires crossed

THEME Theme is the main idea of a poem and/or the author’s feeling about it. Possible Themes… Family Friendship Camping Food Possible Themes continued… Holidays Insects Animals Youth Seasons School Siblings

THEME Can you think of other themes? Let’s look at some examples of poems and determine their theme.

THEME POEMS Hug o’ War By: Shel Silverstein I will not play at tug o'war I'd rather play at hug o'war Where everyone hugs Instead of tugs Where everyone giggles And rolls on the rug Where everyone kisses And everyone grins And everyone cuddles And everyone wins. My Friend By: Jane S. Zion My friend is nice. We like to play We play together every day. We laugh and cry And laugh again Because, you see, we're Friends Friends Friends!

THEME POEMS Fog The fog comes on little cat feet. It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on. ~Carl Sandburg Who Has Seen the Wind? by Christina Rossetti Who has seen the wind? Neither I nor you: But when the leaves hang trembling, the wind is passing through. Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor I: but when the trees bow down their heads, the wind is passing by.
