Poetry as language.By Rebeka Tello Navarrete.
• Short stories, essays, autobiographies, are examples of prose, the language that you hear in your daily life.
• Poetry, unlike prose, consists of language with a strong musical quality in which the words are highly charged with meaning.
• Usually poetry is written in lines, and these lines are grouped into stanzas.
• Poetry is one of the oldest forms of literature.
• Before literature was written down, people told stories.
• They use rhythm and rhyme to help them remember the stories better.
• Many narrative poems still use rhythm and rhyme to tell stories.
• In addition to using rhythm and rhyme, poets use language in other special ways to appeal to a reader’s senses and emotion.
• Because many poems are short, poets choose each word and phrase with care to create vivid images, or pictures, in the reader’s mind.
• Poems are another way of language, that make us understand the differences in culture and is an other way to acquire a foreign language.
