Eng7-Q2 Lesson 6: Part 2 POETRY

3. WHAT IS POETRY?

4. POETRY
A form of literary expression
that uses rhythmic and
aesthetic qualities of language.
It can be structured (like
sonnets or haikus) or free verse,
and often evokes emotions or
paints vivid imagery.

5. PURPOSE OF POETRY
To evoke emotions, capture
moments, or express abstract ideas
through creative language, rhythm,
and imagery. Poetry often
emphasizes form, word choice, and
sound to create a heightened
emotional response.

6. HERE ARE THE KEY
CHARACTERISTICS
OF A POETRY

7. 1. Form and Structure
Lines and Stanzas:
Poetry is often organized into lines and stanzas rather
than paragraphs. Each line may have a specific length or
rhythm, and stanzas function like paragraphs, grouping
related ideas.
Rhyme Scheme:
Many poems follow specific rhyme schemes (e.g., ABAB,
AABB) where words at the end of lines rhyme in a pattern.
Meter:
The rhythmic pattern of a poem, often based on syllables
or stress patterns. For example, iambic pentameter
consists of five pairs of alternating unstressed and

8. 2. Conciseness
Poetry tends to use fewer words
than prose, yet each word is chosen
for its depth and impact. The
language is often more condensed
and potent, leaving room for
multiple interpretations.

9. 3. Figurative Language
Metaphor and Simile: Poetry frequently employs
metaphors (direct comparisons) and similes
(comparisons using "like" or "as") to draw connections
between unlike things, enhancing meaning and emotion.
Personification: Giving human traits to inanimate
objects or abstract concepts is common in poetry to
convey deeper meaning.
Symbolism: Objects, actions, or phrases in poetry
often carry symbolic meanings beyond their literal sense.

10. 4. Imagery
Vivid and descriptive language
appeals to the senses (sight,
sound, touch, taste, smell), helping
readers visualize scenes,
emotions, or ideas. Imagery
makes poetry more immersive and
evocative.

11. EXAMPLE
As the sun dipped below the horizon, the sky transformed into a
canvas of fiery oranges and deep purples. A gentle breeze carried the
sweet scent of blooming jasmine, while the soft chirping of crickets
filled the air. The cool grass beneath her bare feet felt refreshing, each
blade dancing playfully in the wind. In the distance, the faint sound of
waves crashing against the shore created a rhythmic lullaby, wrapping
her in a comforting embrace as twilight settled in.

12. 5. Sound Devices
Alliteration: Repetition of consonant sounds at
the beginning of words (e.g., "silent sea").
Assonance: Repetition of vowel sounds within
words to create musicality (e.g., "the mellow
yellow").
Onomatopoeia: Words that mimic sounds (e.g.,
"buzz," "whisper") to bring the poem to life.
Rhythm: The beat or pace of the poem, which
may vary depending on the meter and choice of
words, creating a musical quality.

13. 6. Emotional Appeal
Poetry often aims to evoke deep emotions—joy,
sorrow, love, anger—through the intensity of its
language and themes. Poems can provide an
intimate connection between the writer and
reader.
7. Theme
The underlying message or central idea of a
poem. Themes in poetry often deal with
universal human experiences, such as love,
death, nature, time, or identity.

14. 8. Tone and Mood
Tone: The poet’s attitude towards
the subject, which can be serious,
playful, ironic, or melancholic.
Mood: The atmosphere or
emotional setting that the poem
creates for the reader.

15. These characteristics work
together to make poetry a
powerful form of artistic
expression, conveying meaning
in condensed, rhythmic, and
often highly imaginative ways.

17. Title: Whispering Leaves
By: Jordan Lee
In the gentle sway of the trees,
Whispers dance on a summer breeze,
Soft green leaves, a shimmering gold,
Tales of the earth quietly told.
Each rustle sings of the sun's warm glow,
Of raindrops falling, a tender show.
Nature's secrets, in silence, weave,
A lullaby sung by whispering leaves.

18. Guided questions:
oWhat message is the author trying to convey?
oHow does the chosen form enhance that message?

19. • Guided Questions
1.What message is the author trying to convey?
2.The author conveys a message about the beauty and interconnectedness of
nature. The poem highlights how nature communicates its stories through
subtle movements and sounds, suggesting that there is wisdom and
tranquility to be found in the natural world.
3.How does the chosen form enhance that message?
4.The chosen form of the poem, with its rhythmic structure and rhyme scheme,
enhances the message by creating a soothing and melodic quality. This
musicality mirrors the gentle sounds of nature, drawing the reader into the
imagery and evoking a sense of calm. Additionally, the use of vivid imagery,
such as "whispers dance" and "tales of the earth," reinforces the idea that
nature speaks to us in soft, profound ways, making the message more
impactful.

20. WHY CHOOSE POETRY?:
When the writer wants to focus on brevity,
emotional intensity, or linguistic beauty, and when
the message is best communicated through
imagery, symbolism, and metaphor rather than plot
