    ELEMENTS OF POETRY

    Creative Writing Course


    Dr.Hj.N.E.Chandra,M.Pd.
    DEFINITION
     Poetry is a literary form that combines the precise
    meaning of words with their emotional associations,
    sounds, and rhythms. Many poems are structured in
    stanzas, or groupings of lines. Specific stanza types
    include couplets, which have two lines, and quatrains,
    which have four lines.
    LANGUAGE USE
     Poets use figurative language, such as metaphor, simile,
    personification, and onomatopoeia, to express ideas or
    feelings in a fresh way.
    LANGUAGE USE
     Poets use metaphors to compare two apparently unlike
    thing without using the words like, as, than, or
    resembles, as in “The sky is a patchwork quilt.” Poets
    use similes to make such comparisons using connecting
    words, as in “The sky is like a patchwork quilt.”
     Personification is language that attributes human
    qualities to nonhuman things.
     Onomatopoeia is the use of a word whose sound
    imitates its meaning. Examples of such words are buzz,
    hiss, thud, and sizzle.
     Imagery is descriptive language poets use to create word
    pictures, or images. Images are enhanced by sensory
    language, which provides details related to the senses.
     Allusion is a reference to someone or something that is
    known from history, literature, religion, politics, sports,
    science, or some other branch of culture.
     Poets use a number of sound devices to achieve a
    musical quality.
     Rhythm is the pattern created by the stressed and
    unstressed syllables of words in sequence. A controlled
    pattern of rhythm is called meter.
     Rhyme is the repetition of identical or similar sounds in
    stressed syllables. A pattern of end rhymes is called a
    rhyme scheme. Free verse has no set meter or rhyme
    schemes.
     Alliteration is the repetition of the initial consonant
    sounds of words, as in the phrase “dark days.”
    Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds in nearby
    words, as in the phrase “child of silence.” Consonance
    is the repetition of consonants within nearby words in
    which the separating vowels differ, as in the phrase “live
    and love.”
     Repetition is the use of any language element more than
    once.
    TYPES OF POETRY
     Narrative poem – the writer tells a story in verse.
    Narratives can take many forms. For example, an epic is
    a long narrative poem about gods or heroes. A ballad is
    a songlike narrative about an adventure or romance.
     Dramatic poem – the writer tells a story using a
    character’s own thoughts or statements
     Lyric poem – a brief poem in which the author
    expresses the feelings of a single speaker, creating a
    single effect on the reader.
