1 TYPES OF STRUCTURED POETRY AS YOU ATTEMPT DRAFTS OF THESE POEMS, STORE THEM IN YOUR POETRY FILE WHEN YOU THINK YOU ARE READY TO BE GRADED, YOU CAN SUBMIT THE POEMS WITH THE “WRITTEN POEM EVIDENCE SHEETS”

2 HAIKUS Definition (shadowpoetry.com) A Haiku (also called nature or seasonal haiku) is an unrhymed Japanese verse consisting of three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables (5, 7, 5) or 17 syllables in all. Haiku is usually written in the present tense and focuses on nature (seasons). Haikus follow a structure: Line 1 = 5 syllables Line 2= 7 syllables Line 3 = 5 syllables

3 EXAMPLES Pink cherry blossoms Cast shimmering reflections On seas of Japan salt-waves caress sand tickling my toes and heart in their short-spun wake

4 ACROSTIC Acrostic- Any poem in which the first letter of each line forms a word or words. The words formed are often names—the poet’s or the dedicatee. Longer acrostic poems can create entire sentences from the first letter of each line. Acrostic poems are free to rhyme or not rhyme and can be metered or free verse.

5 EXAMPLE

6 CINQUAINS Definition: A Cinquain is a short, usually unrhymed poem consisting of twenty-two syllables distributed as 2, 4, 6, 8, 2, in five lines. Structure: Line 1 = 2 syllables Line 2 = 4 syllables Line 3 = 6 syllables Line 4 = 8 syllables Line 5 = 2 syllables

7 EXAMPLES Cherry Blossoms Cherry blossoms float on the afternoon breezes. Petals fluttering down like snow in spring

8 EXAMPLES Joshua Tree hair spiked, a crooked stance in the hot desert sun - dust in his face, he limps towards the blue

9 EPITAPH An Epitaph is a funny poem you would put on the tombstone of a loved one that has passed. Definition: An epitaph is a brief poem inscribed on a tombstone praising a deceased person, usually with rhyming lines. Examples: What happened to me, was not good, Hit by a car, bounced off the hood, Would get up, if only I could, Now here I lay, where once I stood.

10 IF YOU CHOOSE AN EPITAPH Remember, these are meant to remember a loved one in a happy, fun way. Your epitaph MUST rhyme. It also must have at least 4 lines. Ready, go!

11 EXAMPLES Here lies the body of Izzy Dunn-Eaton. It’s hard to believe what he tried. He tasted the school cafeteria food and Izzy Dunn-Eaton done died. Here lies the body of Jonathan Blake Stepped on the gas Instead of the brake. Here lies poor Billy. Although it sounds silly, he never ate anything green. The candy that filled him is also what killed him the day after last Halloween

12 MORE EXAMPLES Reader if cash thou art In want of any Dig 4 feet deep And thou wilt find a Penny. Here lies the body of our Anna Done to death by a banana It wasn't the fruit that laid her low But the skin of the thing that made her go. Remember man, as you walk by, As you are now, so once was I, As I am now, so shall you be, Remember this and follow me. Here lies Oakford Grain Saw a light at the end of the tunnel It was a train

13 MS. CLAAR- POET EXTRAORDINAIRE Here lies my iPhone, it’s dead. Now you’re gone from my life, I dread. My jaw sank in horror, as I looked to the floor. That CRUNCH when I jumped off my bed.

14 LIMERICKS Definition: A Limerick is a rhymed humorous or nonsense poem of five lines which originated in Limerick, Ireland. The Limerick has a set rhyme scheme of : a-a-b-b-a with a syllable structure of: 9-9-6-6-9. Well-known Limerick first line: “There once was a man from Nantucket” Structure: Line 1 = 9 syllables (A) Line 2 = 9 syllables (A) Line 3 = 6 syllables (B) Line 4 = 6 syllables (B) Line 5 = 9 syllables (A)

15 EXAMPLES The Man From Aruba There once was a man from Aruba, Whose favorite hobby was scuba. Every day he would wish, He could spear a big fish. But settled instead for canned tuna

16 EXAMPLES The Test Pilot A Plane builder needed a pilot, So Bob told the guy, he would try it. When Bob took to the air, Plane parts fell everywhere. Bob radioed “where shall I pile it?”

17 MORE LIMERICK EXAMPLES There was a young lady from Leeds Who swallowed a package of seeds. Now this sorry young lass Is quite covered in grass, But has all the tomatoes she needs. An ambitious young fellow named Matt Tried to parachute using his hat. Folks below looked so small As he started to fall, Then got bigger and bigger and SPLAT! Is Algebra fruitless endeavor? It seems they’ve been trying for ever To find x, y, and z And it’s quite clear to me: If they’ve not found them yet then they'll never. How to spell the potato has tried Many minds, sometimes mine, I’ll confide. Though it may have an eye, There’s no E – don’t ask why! Not until it’s been baked, boiled or fried.

18 YOUR TURN! Your Limerick must start with the phrase “There once was….” It also must follow the syllable and rhyme patterns from the definition. If you follow the syllable pattern correctly, your limerick will naturally have the sing-song rhythm you heard in the examples.

19 LOOP POETRY This is similar to the Blitz poem, but they are a shorter version (Blitz poems are 48 lines long!) Definition There are no restrictions on the number of stanzas nor on the syllable count for each line. In each stanza, the last word of the first line becomes the first word of line two, last word of line 2 becomes the first word of line 3, last word of line 3 becomes the first word of line 4. This is followed for each stanza. The rhyme scheme is abcb.

20 LOOP POETRY Variations: 1. Stanzas, writers choice on the number, no rhyming, the last word, first word scheme is maintained. 2. One long stanza, no limit on number of lines, no rhyming scheme, the last word, first word scheme is maintained. 3. Couplets mixed with 4 line stanzas, the last word, first word scheme is maintained in the stanzas. It can also be used in the couplets. Rhyme scheme is ab, cc, defg, hh, ii, jklm, nn, o

21 EXAMPLES Bloody eyes Bloody eyes. watching. waiting waiting in gloomy shadows shadows of night night so...still still they watch, still they wait wait for you you..the next victim victim of evil evil that lurks lurks in silence silence then...screams screams...then silence silence of night night of shadows shadows of gloom. waiting waiting...watching watching. bloody eyes

22 EXAMPLES How I See You Eyes that don't see see the things that you do do you wish me to describe describe how I see you... Skin so delicate delicate as a rose rose that will blossom blossom as it grows.

23 CLARITY PYRAMID Definition: A Clarity Pyramid is a poem consisting of two triplets and a single line (7 lines in all). The first triplet has 1, 2, and 3 syllables. The title of the poem is the one-syllable word of the first triplet, which is displayed in all capital letters. This line is followed by a two-syllable line, and then a three-syllable line, both of which clarify the definition of the poem, or are synonyms for the title. The second triplet has 5, 6, and 7 syllables. Its design is based around a life event contained within the triplet which helps give a poetic view or outlook on the first line (title). The last line is 8 syllables, and is in quotations as this line contains a quote that defines the first word (title).

24 EXAMPLES HOPE outlook firm mind-set bees seek fresh nectar explore today’s bouquets return pregnant with pollen "envision tomorrows’ honey"

25 EXAMPLES WORK labor exertion walked lines all plowed straight furrow soil, seeds and sweat spring deposit, fall harvest "creation’s manifestations"

26 COPY CHANGE (IMITATION) One specific exercise for practicing imitation is called "copy change." Basically, you borrow another writer's structure and use it as the skeleton for your own work. You can change a few words per line or use the same structure and change all the words The poem you “copy” is called “the source poem” and then your poem is called “copy change”

27 EXAMPLE- WORDS IN BOLD STAYED THE SAME The source poem, which is by Emily Dickinson, is printed first. Words and word fragments that the two poems share have been put in bold text. I hide myself within my flower, That wearing on your breast, You, unsuspecting, wear me too— And angels know the rest. I hide myself within my flower, That, fading from your vase, You, unsuspecting, feel for me Almost a loneliness. Scarves I drape myself with scarves That wearing on my shoulders, You, unsuspecting, think me chic— But I know the truth. I drape myself with scarves, That wrap me, protect me, And you, unsuspecting, do not know I am lonely too.

28 ODE Ode - Often written in praise of a person, an object, or an event, odes tend to be longer in form and, generally, serious in nature. The patterns of the stanzas within an ode follow no prescribed pattern.

29 EXAMPLE A well known example of an ode would be “Ode on a Grecian Urn” by John Keats It’s 50 lines long, so here is an Excerpt: When old age shall this generation waste, Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st, "Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know."

30 IF YOU WRITE AN ODE Write a 7 line free verse stanza

31 PARODY Imitation of a poem or another poet's style for comic/satiric effect.

32 EXAMPLES-IN ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND LEWIS CARROLL'S POEM OLD FATHER WILLIAM IS A PARODY OF THE OLD MAN'S COMFORTS BY ROBERT SOUTHEY "You are old," said the youth, "and your jaws are too weak For anything tougher than suet; Yet you finished the goose, with the bones and the beak — Pray, how did you manage to do it?" You are old, Father William, the young man cried, And pleasures with youth pass away, And yet you lament not the days that are gone, Now tell me the reason I pray.
