discussion of the elements and structure of poetry before we proceed to the discussion of these poetry elements Filipino what is poetry poetry is a type of literature typically written in verse that uses figurative language or language that can have different meanings from what is literally said to give multiple shades of meaning to a word or a phrase it is defined as a type of literature or artistic writing that tries to appeal to the reader emotions and Imagination through a variety of different poetic techniques the poet used as a combination of Rhythm word choice sounds Rhymes structure and more to create a piece of writing that stir the reader feelings you can easily distinguish a poem from any other forms of literature due to this element poems come in lots of different forms and styles and the text is of often separated into paragraphs which are called stanzas a poem is usually about or alluding to a specific topic or theme some of the most common themes that poets write about are love nature friendship family animals good versus evil growing up and aging bravery and courage Prejudice War the following are the basic elements of poetry we have form line imagery sound device figurative language and theme let's start with form form refers to the physical structure of the poem and how it organizes it content there are many forms of poetry and some poets might use a combination of two or more break the rules of a specific form or stick strictly to the rules of the form every poem is different and uses form to tell a different story common form includes sonnets haikus free verse and ballads form includes aspects such as stanza structure like the cets or quatrain rhyme schem if there's any and meter or the rhythmic [Music] pattern the following are the different kinds of poetry according to form Haiku the Haiku or Hoku is an ancient form of Japanese poetry that has become very popular all over the world renowned for its small size hus consist of just three lines or three set the first and third lines have five syllables whereas the second has seven haikus don't have to rhyme and are usually written to evoke a particular mood or instance here is an [Music] example next next free verse free verse is a popular style of modern poetry and as its name suggests there is a fair amount of Freedom when it comes to writing a poem like this free verse can Rhyme or not it can have as many lines or stanzas as the poet wants and it can be about anything you like so while free verse may sound simple enough the lack of rules makes this form of poetry tricky to m Master here is an example we also have Sonet this very old form of poetry was made famous by none other than William Shakespeare but the Sonet actually originated in 13th century Italy where it was perfected by the poet patriarch the word Sonet is derived from the Italian word sonetto which means little song traditionally sonnets are made up of 14 lines and usually deal with love as a rule petrarchan or Italian sonets follow an Abba Abba CDE CDE rhyme scheme whereas Shakespearean sonnets are typically ABAB CD c d e f EF g g like what you see in this example [Music] acostic like Haus you're likely to encounter acrostic poems at school this type of poetry spells out a name word phrase or message with the first letter of each line of the poem it can Rhyme or not and typically the word spelled out lays down the theme of the poem look at the example the next kind is villan the villan is another very old form of poetry that came from France and has lots of rules it is made up of 19 lines five stanzas of three lines each and a final stanza of four lines as you can see from the rhyme scheme ABA ABA ABA ABA ABA AB AA this type of poem only has two rhyming sounds plus there is a lot of repetition throughout the villain line one will be repeated in line 6 12 and 18 and line three will be repeated in lines 9 15 and 19 so although this takes out the extra work of having to write 19 individual lines the real challenge is to make meaning out of those repeated lines and this is the example limeric lyics are funny and sometimes rude poems which were made Popular by Edward Lear in the 19th century they have a set rhyme scheme of aabba with lines 1 2 and five all being longer in length than lines three and four the last line sign is often the punchline their sound is very distinctive it's likely you've heard or read one before here's the example ode the OD is one of the oldest forms of poetry and believe to have come from ancient Greece the word old is derived from the Greek word aiding which means to sing or chant and these poems were originally performed with a musical instrument an OD is typically written to praise a person event or thing and they are usually quite short in length example next is elegy an elegy doesn't have rules like some of the other forms of poetry but it does have a set subject which is about death they are usually written about a loved one who has passed away but can also be written about a group of people too although they can sound sad elegies often end on a hopeful note lastly we have Ballad The Ballad is another old and traditional form of poetry that typically tells a dramatic or emotional story they came from Europe in the late Middle Ages and were initially passed down from one generation to another and often with music ballads do have a set form they are typically four lines and have a rhyme scheme of ABAB or abcb however this form is loser than others so can be modified to suit a writer's needs most modern pop songs you hear nowadays can be referred to as ballads another poetry element is line in poetry a line refers to a fundamental unit of language within a poem unlike sentences in Pros lines in poetry are structured and arranged based on various factors such as Rhythm meter and visual appearance on the page here are some key characteristics and considerations regarding lines in poetry number one structure and length line length lines in poetry can vary significantly in length from just a word or two to much longer phrases or sentences broken into multiple lines enjambment this occurs when a line of poetry does not end with punctuation and continues on to the next line creating a sense of continuity or tension number two visual appearance stanzas lines are often grouped into stanzas which are sets of lines that form a unit within a poem stanzas can vary in length and can be used to organize thoughts or ideas line breaks the placement of line breaks is crucial in poetry it affects the Rhythm pacing and meaning of the poem poets strategically place line breaks to emphasize certain words or ideas create poses or enhance the flow of the poem number three Rhythm and miror miror some poems adhere to specific metrical pattern where lines are structured based on stressed and unstressed syllables examples include a Amic pentameter or five pairs of unstressed or stressed syllables per line or trochaic tetrameter or four pairs of stressed or unstressed syllables per line freee in contrast free verse poetry does not adhere to a strict mirror or rhyme scheme lines in free verse can vary in length and structure based on the poet's discretion and the poem's content number four impact and emphasis emphasis line bricks and stanza bricks help to create emphasis on certain words or phrases guiding the reader's interpretation and emotional response visual impact the visual arrangement of lines on the page can also contribute to the poem's meaning for example a poem with uneven or jagged lines May visually reflect themes of fragmentation or dissonance overall lines in poetry are not merely random or abitrary divisions of text but essential elements that contribute to the poem's form Rhythm and meaning poets carefully consider how they structure and arrange lines to convey their thoughts and emotions effectively creating a unique experience for the reader now let's proceed to the next element of poetry and that is imagery imagery in poetry imagery is a vivid and vibrant form of description that appeals to the reader

representations or mental images it refers to the full spectrum of sensory experiences including internal emotions and physical Sensations poets use imagery to evoke emotions set a mood or convey deeper meanings when we read stories for example we tend to imagine what or who is being described in the story We tend to see the kind of person and we don't see them through the use of the pictures but we see them in our minds through the use of imagery this descriptive words that can help us to imagine how things or characters look like in the story using this element is like painting a picture using words only when a poet uses descriptive language well they play to the reader senses providing them with sights tastes smells sounds internal and external feelings and even internal emotion the sensory details in imagery bring Works to [Music] life here are the seven types of imagery visual imagry auditory gustatory tactile all Factory kinesthetic and organic imagery each type will not be
