Poetry Terms
Poetry is rich,
evocative and often dense language.
Poetry has powerful sounds and meaning and evokes strong feelings in the
reader.
Traditional
poetry is arranged in lines and stanzas with regular rhythm and often
rhyme. A narrative poem tells a story.
A ballad is a narrative poem
that often has a repeated refrain and is set to music. Lyric
poetry expresses the observations and feelings of a poet. A sonnet
is an example of a lyric poem.
Non-traditional
poetry is also set up in lines and stanzas but does not have regular rhythm or
rhyme. Free verse is rhymed or
unrhymed poetry without a set rhythmic pattern.
Rhythms in free verse can change at any time like the rhythms of natural
speech, and lines can be of different lengths.
Concrete poetry is
visual poetry which expresses meaning through shape or pattern.
An
apple with a worm in it.
Rhyme is the use of
similar sounds in words or phrases that appear close to one another in a
poem. Perfect rhymes are exact rhymes.
Close rhymes are words that
sound somewhat but not exactly the same. Eye
rhymes are words that look the same but do not sound the same. End rhymes are rhymes on the final
syllable of the last word on a line. The
rhyme scheme is the plan by which the rhymes are organized within a
poem. A rhyming couplet is two
rhyming lines that appear at the end of a poem, as in a sonnet.

rhyme- tree/see car/far

A
stanza is a group of lines forming a unit in a poem. Many poems have stanzas with a fixed pattern
and rhyme. A stanza with four lines is a
called a quatrain. In other poems,
stanzas vary in length and pattern and may or may not include rhyme.
Rhythm is the
arrangement of stressed and unstressed syllables into a pattern. Often the stress falls on important
words. Poets, and sometimes prose
writers as well, use words with similarly accented syllables to create
rhythm. When the rhythm of a poem has a
regular pattern, the pattern is called meter. A foot is a basic unit of meter that
gives a poem, or part of a poem, a particular beat. An iambic foot is an unstressed
syllable followed by a stressed syllable, like a heartbeat. Some common forms of rhythm, especially in
traditional poetry, are iambic pentameter
and iambic tetrameter

Imagery is language that
appeals to any of the five senses or to a combination of these senses. Poets and other writers use imagery to create
vivid, clear images.
