  2. What is Poetry? • Poetry is literature in verse form, a controlled arrangement of lines and stanzas. Poems use concise, musical, and emotionally charged language to express multiple layers of meaning.

  3. Types of Poetry There are three main types of poetry: • Narrative poetry: tells a story and has a plot, characters, and a setting. • Epic: long narrative poem about the feats of gods or heroes. (Beowolf, The Odyssey) • Ballad: songlike narrative that has short stanzas and a refrain (Don Juan)

  4. Types of Poetry 4. Dramatic poetry: tells a story using a character’s own thoughts or spoken statements • (Shakespeare’s plays, when written in blank verse) 5. Lyric poetry: expresses the feelings of a single speaker. Lyrics are the most common type of poem in modern literature. • (Shakespeare’s sonnets, How Do I Love Thee, Ode on a Grecian Urn)

  5. Poetic Forms 6. Haiku: verse form with three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables. An old silent pond... A frog jumps into the pond, splash! Silence again. 7. Tanka: verse form with five unrhymed lines of five, seven, five, seven, and seven syllables. A cool wind blows in With a blanket of silence. Straining to listen For those first few drops of rain, The storm begins in earnest. *Both forms use imagery to convey a single vivid emotion.

  6. Poetic Forms 8. Free verse: does not have a set pattern or rhythm or rhyme. 9. Sonnet: fourteen-line lyric poem with formal patterns of rhyme, rhythm, and line structure. *Poetic forms are defined by specific organizations of line and stanza length, rhythm, and rhyme.
