What is poetry?• Why is it written?• How do we use poetry?• YOU WILL BE ASKED to give a

definition of what poetry is to you before you leave class today.

• TO ME, poetry is about choices and reflection.

Poetry is about choice and reflection.

• We choose our words carefully.• Fewer words in a poem than in a fiction,

nonfiction text.• Conserve words and space in a poem

• Poetry requires reflection.• Poetry asks the poet to see the world through

new eyes. • How you see the world is TOTALLY different

than how I see the world. • TODAY…we will hear, see and discuss 3

examples.

Types of Poetry1. Concrete Poetry/ Imagist- the words create

the symbol2. Ars Poetica- a poem about poetry3. Ballad/Lyric Poetry- usually rhymed, song-like4. Sonnet (Shakespearean and Petrarchan)

Concrete Poetry• The poem

resembles the theme, or a subject of the poem.

• Concrete poetry is also just like taking a picture of a scene.

Tom’s Diner by Suzanne Vega

Ars Poetica• A poem

about a poem… a mirror to a

poem.• The “art of

poetry”

Ballad, Lyric Poetry• A song-like poem, usually about love.• Ballads include rhyme and meter

Sonnet- 14 Lined Poem• A Sonnet is a 14

lined poem • Three quatrains• 1 rhymed

couplet

SONNETIs it for fear to wet a widow's eyeThat thou consumest thyself in single life?Ah! if thou issueless shalt hap to die.The world will wail thee, like a makeless wife;

The world will be thy widow and still weepThat thou no form of thee hast left behind,When every private widow well may keepBy children's eyes her husband's shape in mind.

Look, what an unthrift in the world doth spendShifts but his place, for still the world enjoys it;But beauty's waste hath in the world an end,And kept unused, the user so destroys it.

No love toward others in that bosom sitsThat on himself such murderous shame commits.

EPIC• Long, narrative poem (meaning it tells a

story of a journey)• Usually LONG and uses Greek heroes, gods,

and other feats of strength.• Homer’s Odyssey and Iliad are strong

examples.
