- Ballads which tell stories in a musical way using four line stanzas with a rhyme scheme of ABAB.
- Sonnets which have either the Shakespearean or Petrarchan form with 14 lines in iambic pentameter.

This document provides an overview of sonnets, including their typical structure and literary devices. It explains that a sonnet traditionally has 14 lines following a specific rhyme scheme, with lines of iambic pentameter containing 10 syllables each. The two main types of sonnets discussed are the Petrarchan sonnet, with an octave rhyme scheme followed by a sestet, and the Shakespearean sonnet consisting of three quatrains and a couplet. Other concepts covered include enjambment, alliteration, and assonance. An example sonnet by Shakespeare is analyzed in detail to demonstrate these concepts.
Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets. His sonnets talk about love, friendship etc.The sonnets to the young man express overwhelming, obsessional love. The main cause of debate has always been whether it remained platonic or became physical.The first 17 poems, traditionally called the procreation sonnets, are addressed to the young man urging him to marry and have children in order to immortalize his beauty by passing it to the next generation.Other sonnets express the speaker's love for the young man; brood upon loneliness, death, and the transience of life; seem to criticise the young man for preferring a rival poet; express ambiguous feelings for the speaker's mistress; and pun on the poet's name. The final two sonnets are allegorical treatments of Greek epigrams referring to the "little love-god" Cupid.
This sonnet by Shakespeare compares his love to a summer's day, stating that his love is more beautiful and constant. Shakespeare describes how summer beauty is fragile and fleeting - blown by winds, dimmed by clouds, and declining with time. However, he asserts that his love's beauty will be preserved eternally through his poetry. The sonnet uses metaphors, personification and iambic pentameter to praise the beloved and Shakespeare's ability to immortalize their love through his verse.
The poem is titled "The Passionate Shepherd to his Love" written by Christopher Marlowe. It describes a shepherd passionately trying to woo a maiden to be his love. He promises her that they will experience pleasures among the valleys, groves, hills and other landscapes of England if she agrees to live with him. He also offers her gifts like beds of roses and fine clothing to win her affection. Throughout the poem, the shepherd enthusiastically promises the maiden a luxurious life together in the pastoral countryside setting if she accepts his love.
This document summarizes 3 poems from a poetry anthology: Edgar Allan Poe's narrative poem "Annabel Lee" about the enduring love between the narrator and Annabel Lee even after her death; Edna St. Vincent Millay's lyrical poem "Time Does Not Bring Relief" about how the pain of lost love cannot be healed by time; and William Shakespeare's sonnet 130 which parodies typical love sonnets by comparing his mistress to ordinary human traits rather than goddess-like attributes, but still finds his love for her to be rare. Images included provide visual representations of themes in the poems.
This document provides an introduction and overview of poetry. It defines poetry as a collection of words that express emotion or ideas. It discusses several key elements of poetry including meter, rhyme, stanzas, and figurative language. Examples are provided to illustrate different types of poetry like free verse, haiku, narrative poems, and sonnets. Common poetic devices such as simile, metaphor, personification, and onomatopoeia are also defined.
In Sonnet 130, Shakespeare subverts the conventions of love poetry by refusing to compare his
mistress to unrealistic ideals of beauty found in nature. Instead, he provides an honest description of
her imperfections while still expressing his love for her. Through this sonnet, Shakespeare challenges
the superficial comparisons typically used in love poems and advocates appreciating one's partner for
their true qualities rather than only physical beauty.
This sonnet by William Shakespeare uses metaphors and personification to express the eternal and immortal nature of his love compared to the fleeting beauty of a summer's day. He argues his beloved is lovelier and more temperate than a summer and will not fade with time. The poem explores themes of love, beauty, literature, time, and immortality through vivid imagery and by stating his love will live on as long as this poem survives.
This sonnet expresses love and admiration for a woman, comparing her beauty to the natural world in a traditional poetic style. It follows the Shakespearean sonnet form of 14 lines with iambic pentameter, using the rhyme scheme ABAB CDCD EFEF GG. The speaker expresses that his love will outlive all earthly things and finds eternal life through being expressed in this poem.
The poem discusses the reality of a shepherd's situation in nature. Through imagery and figures of speech, it describes how pastoral pleasures are fleeting and subject to the passage of time. The nymph notes how natural elements like flowers, fields, and birds succumb to the forces of winter. This reality contrasts with the promises of a shepherd trying to woo her. The poem conveys a tone of melancholy through its exploration of the ephemeral quality of life, love, and nature.
Robert Browning was a famous 19th century English poet known for dramatic monologues and obscure references. He was largely self-taught and found fame later in life. Browning's poem "Meeting at Night" describes a romantic, secret meeting between lovers using sensory imagery and symbolism.

On meeting, their hearts beat louder than their voices in joy, conveying the passion and excitement of their clandestine rendezvous.

Wallace Stevens: ANECDOTE OF THE JAR
1923
I placed a jar in Tennessee,
And round it was, upon a hill.
It made the slovenly wilderness
Surround that hill.
The wilderness rose up to it,
5
And sprawled around, no longer wild.
The jar was round upon the ground
And tall and of a port in air.
It took dominion everywhere.
The jar was gray and bare.

It did not give of bird or bush,
Like nothing else in Tennessee.

Silent as the sleeve-worn stone

Of casement ledges where the moss has grown—
A poem should be wordless
As the flight of birds.

William Shakespeare's Sonnet 130 mocks the unrealistic comparisons used in traditional love poems. It compares the speaker's mistress to things like the sun, snow, roses, and music, but finds her lacking in comparison. However, the final line states that the speaker finds his love just as rare and valuable as those exaggerated in other poems. The poem uses atypical descriptions to show that true beauty and love are not defined by unrealistic standards.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

SIR WALTER RALEIGH

If all the world and love were young, Thy cap, thy kirtle, and thy posies
And truth in every shepherd's tongue, Soon break, soon wither, soon forgotten
These pretty pleasures might me move In folly ripe, in season rotten.
To live with thee and be thy love.
Thy belt of straw and ivy buds,
Time drives the flocks from field to fold Thy coral clasps and amber studs,
When rivers rage and rocks grow cold, All these in me no means can move
And Philomel becometh dumb; To come to thee and be thy love.
The rest complains of cares to come.
But could youth last and love still breed,
The flowers do fade, and wanton fields Had joys no date nor age no need,
To wayward winter reckoning yields; Then these delights my mind might
move
A honey tongue, a heart of gall,
To live with thee and be thy love.
Is fancy's spring, but sorrow's fall.
6. THE NYMPHS REPLY TO THE SHEPHERD
ESSAY
The Nymphs Reply to the Shepherd was written by Sir Walter Raleigh.
The poem has 24 paragraphs with 4 stanzas in each of them. The
speaker of the poem is a woman, who’s answering to a man that’s been
courting her to live with him. She explains how spring is going to end
eventually and the bitterness of fall and winter are going to come along.
Imagery is used in this poem for example, the brisk cold the rivers and
rocks become, the bitterness of winter, how the season of fall is
sorrowful, and how flowers will fade and wither away. She explains not
every day is going to be perfect like he claims it is, even though it’ll be
spring and time for romance one day it’s not going to last forever and the
other seasons fall and winter are going to come sooner or later. The
rhyme scheme in the poem goes AABB throughout most of the poem.
The theme of poem is how the woman being courted tells the man who
loves her that basically he’s a fool for thinking spring’s never going to end
and how she’ll find eternal happiness with him, but she’ll live with him for
awhile and if he could prove to her that what he’s saying is true she’ll
stay with him forever. There’s no symbolism in the title since it’s very
straightforward. The tone and diction of the poem is very
skeptical, explaining how she won’t be persuade to live with him since
she believes what he’s saying is not true, but willing to be proved wrong.

above the strawberry pie,

and dives into the sweet, red glaze.
8. IMMORALITY ESSAY
Immortality was written by Lisel Mueller, it has two paragraphs
twenty-nine stanzas altogether. The speaker is more than likely
the writer who’s telling the audience how she thinks what
happened when time became unfrozen in Sleeping Beauty.
There’s a bit of imagery in the poem for example, she explains
the glaze on the strawberry pie as sweet, a boy’s vocals being
tensed, the fly’s wings as transparent, the boy’s trapped
whimper, time in the tower returning back to the world, and the
sounds of a fly. There’s no rhyme scheme in the poem, but the
title symbolizes how things never change even if they’ve been
interrupted for over a century. She explains how feelings and
taste can’t be broken or altered in any way as with the example
she gave with the fly, even if the fly was interrupted from its
pursuit a century ago its longing for the pie wasn’t changed once
time became unfrozen again. The theme of the poem is how
even though something or someone could be interrupted of doing
something for a long period of time, its need of doing it can’t be
broken. The tone and diction of the poem is shown as light.
9. THE LAMB BY WILLIAM BLAKE
The Lamb The Lamb was written by William Blake during the
Victorian era. The poem has two paragraphs with
William Blake ten stanzas in each of them. The speaker is more
than likely a man who’s addressing who made such
a loving creature as the lamb and if whoever made
Little Lamb, who made thee the lamb created the tyger too. The imagery that’s
Does thou know who made thee
used in this is how the lamb is called mild and
meek and compares the lamb to a child. The

and its woolly fur is bright, the softest, and
By the stream & o'er the mead; delightful. The speaker explains how the lamb to
Gave thee clothing of delight, be a gentle, kind creature. The lamb is compared
to as a child since most children are defenseless
Softest clothing woolly bright; and the speaker basically says how the lamb is
Gave thee such a tender voice. meek and mild, one could also guess that lamb is
also a defenseless creature of a pacifist. There’s a
Making all the vales rejoice: bit of a rhyme scheme in the poem, in the first
paragraph the rhyme scheme could be seen from
Little Lamb who made thee
stanzas three thru eight and in the second
Does thou know who made thee paragraph the rhyme scheme is seen from stanzas
fifteen and sixteen. The theme of the poem is how
the lamb is a delightful creature and wonders that
Little Lamb I'll tell thee, whoever made the lamb make the tyger too and if
he or she did could they also made a creature
Little Lamb I'll tell thee; that’s even more powerful than the two combined.
He is called by thy name,
There’s no symbolism in the title since it’s
straightforward. The tone and diction of the poem
For he calls himself a Lamb: is very light, happy, and also curious.
He is meek & he is mild,
He became a little child
I a child & thou a lamb,
We are called by His name,
Little Lamb God bless thee,
Little Lamb God bless thee.
