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.

 

perfect rhyme- tree/see   car/far

close rhyme- tree/say  car/fir

eye rhyme-

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.
