Forms of Literature
Poetry, on the other hand, uses metrical language with lots of rhythm
and rhyme to create word pictures. Poetry employs all kinds of word
play, figurative language, and imagery to send its messages, which are
often rather obscure and need to be dug out with some effort on the
part of the reader.
Drama combines elements of prose and poetry into plays that are usually
intended to be performed on stage. Drama joins monologues and
dialogues by characters with stage directions and occasionally narrative
sections that explain the action. Like poetry, drama can feature hidden
meanings and messages that take some work to decipher.

Paruparong Bukid
Paruparong bukid na lilipad-lipad
Sa gitna ng daan papaga-pagaspas
Isang bara ang tapis
Isang dangkal ang manggas
Ang sayang de kola
Isang piyesa ang sayad
May payneta pa siya — uy!
May suklay pa man din — uy!
Nagwas de-ohetes ang palalabasin
Haharap sa altar at mananalamin
At saka lalakad nang pakendeng-kendeng.
May payneta pa siya — uy!
May suklay pa man din — uy!
Nagwas de-ohetes ang palalabasin
Haharap sa altar at mananalamin
At saka lalakad nang pakendeng-kendeng.
