The document discusses the intrinsic and extrinsic elements of poetry. The intrinsic elements include theme, figurative language, imagery, rhyme, rhythm, meter, and message. Figurative language includes similes, metaphors, and personification. Rhyme can be perfect, slant, eye, masculine, and feminine. Rhythm and meter refer to patterns of stressed and unstressed syllables. The extrinsic elements are factors outside the poem, such as the author's biography, values of the time period, and social context in which the poem was written.
