TYPES OF POETRY
1. Lyric Poetry - is a formal type of poetry which
expresses personal emotions or feelings, typically
spoken in the first person.
2. Narrative Poetry - tells stories through verse. Like a
novel or a short story, a narrative poem has plot,
characters, and setting.
3. Descriptive Poetry - unlike narrative poetry, is known
not necessarily for telling a story but for its deep
depiction of a person, animal or inanimate object.
Subtypes:
1. Sonnet - a poem of fourteen lines using any of a
number of formal rhyme schemes, in English typically
having ten syllables per line.
2. Shakespearean or English – is modern English
3. Petrarchan or Italian - The Petrarchan sonnet is a
sonnet form not developed by Petrarch himself, but
rather by a string of Renaissance poets.
4. Haiku - is a form of poetry, first made popular in
Japan, which has become appreciated around the
world.
5. Elegy - is a form of literature that can be defined as a
poem or song in the form of elegiac couplets, written
in honor of someone deceased.
6. Limerick - is a form of verse, usually humorous and
frequently rude, in five-line, predominantly anapestic
meter with a strict rhyme scheme of AABBA, in which
the first, second and fifth line rhyme, while the third
and fourth lines are shorter and share a different
rhyme.
7. Ballad - is a form of verse, often a narrative set to music.
Ballads derive from the medieval French chanson
balladée or ballade, which were originally "dance songs".
Ballads were particularly characteristic of the popular
poetry and song of Britain and Ireland from the later
medieval period until the 19th century.
8. Ode - a lyric poem usually marked by exaltation of
feeling and style, varying length of line, and
complexity of stanza forms.
Sound Devices
1. Alliteration - the repetition of usually initial consonant
sounds in two or more neighboring words or syllables
(such as wild and woolly, threatening throngs)
2. Assonance - is the repetition of the same or similar
vowel sounds within words, phrases, or sentences.
3. Consonance - is a pleasing sounding caused by the
repetition of consonant sounds within sentences,
phrases, or in poems.
4. Onomatopoeia - is defined as a word which imitates
the natural sounds of a thing.
5. Rhyme - is a repetition of similar sounds (usually,
exactly the same sound) in the final stressed syllables
and any following syllables of two or more words.
Most often, this kind of perfect rhyming is consciously
used for effect in the final positions of lines of poems
and songs.
6. Rhythm - is music's pattern in time. Whatever other
elements a given piece of music may have (e.g.,
patterns in pitch or timbre), rhythm is the one
indispensable element of all music. Rhythm can exist
without melody, as in the drumbeats of so-called
primitive music, but melody cannot exist
without rhythm.
Figurative Devices
1. Simile - is a figure of speech that directly compares
two things. Similes differ from metaphors by
highlighting the similarities between two things using
words such as "like", "as", or "than", while metaphors
create an implicit comparison (i.e. saying something
"is" something else).
2. Metaphor - is a figure of speech that describes an
object or action in a way that isn't literally true, but
helps explain an idea or make a comparison. Here are
the basics: A metaphor states that one thing is another
thing.
3. Personification - is a type of metaphor and a common
literary tool. It is when you assign the qualities of a
person to something that isn't human or that isn't even
alive, such as nature or household items.
4. Irony - the use of words to express something other
than and especially the opposite of the literal meaning.
5. Metonymy - is the use of a linked term to stand in for an
object or concept. You'll find examples
of metonymy used frequently in both literature and
everyday speech. You might use it yourself without
even realizing it. Sometimes metonymy is chosen
because it's a well-known characteristic of the concept.
6. Synecdoche - is a member of the figurative language
family. It's an odd word for what is simply using part
of a whole to represent the whole. If you said "check
out my new wheels," "wheels" is an example of
synecdoche, used to refer to a "car." A part of a car, in
this example, represents the whole of the car.
