POETRYCommon characteristics:

A creative act using language. A form ofart in whichlanguageis used for itsaestheticqualities in addition tomeaning. Rhyme, repitition, unconventional text structures,punctuation and phrasing, are used for aesthetic value. Devices such as assonance,onomotopeia, alliteration and rhythm are sometimes used to achieve musical orincantatory effects. Poetry's use ofambiguity,symbolism, irony and other stylisticelements ofpoetic dictionoften leaves a poem open to multiple interpretations.Similarly, metaphor,simile, idioms and personification create aresonance betweenotherwise disparate imagesa layering of meanings, forming connections previouslynot perceived.

Form:

Spaces (before and after words, on lines) serve an important purpose. Fororganization, to allow the reader to ponder, to leave a phrase hanging, for effect, forstructure and aesthetic value and for organization.

Major structural elements often used in poetry are the line, the stanza orverseparagraph, and larger combinations of stanzas or lines such as cantos. The broadervisual presentation of words and calligraphy can also be utilized. Poetry is oftenseparated into lines on a page. Lines can separate, compare or contrast thoughtsexpressed in different units, or can highlight a change in tone. Lines may be combinedinto couplets, a combination of two lines which may or may not relate to each other by

rhyme or rhythm. Lines also may be combined into triplets, or sets of three lines. Linesare often grouped into verses or stanzas, which often have related couplets or tripletswithin them.

Related lines of poems are often organized into stanzas. Thus a collection of four linesis aquatrain, six lines is a sestetand eight lines is anoctet. Two lines form a couplet(ordistich), three lines a triplet or tercet, and five lines a quintain (orcinquain). Seealso: Acrostic, Ballad,Haiku,Limericks.
