Discussion
So today, we are going to discuss about
the elements of a poem. So first let’s go
first what is a poem?
A poem is a piece of writing that
partakes of the nature of both speech
and song that is nearly always usually
metaphorical, and often exhibits such
formal elements as meter, rhyme, and
stanzaic structure.
Now, let’s go to its elements:
Form: Refers to the structure of
the poem itself; It includes the
lines, stanza, and rhyme scheme.
Rhyme: the repetition of similar
sounds at the end of the words.
Ex: clay – decay, riverside – hide,
day – away
Skill Development
Imagery: refers to the vivid
description that appeal to the
senses. (sight, sound, touch,
smell)
Ex:
The stench of the river – smell
The dark, muddy river – sight
Killed by a burning sun – touch
Figurative Language: This goes
beyond literal meaning to create
deeper layers of understanding.
EX:
Pass away into ghost of
houses
He’s brave as a lion
The world is a stage
Theme: The central idea or
message the poem explores.
The underlying meaning or
insight the poet wants to
convey
Ex:
The Sad Little Houses has a
theme of loneliness and
isolation.
