Lesson 17 : Summarizing Various Text Types Based on Elements of Poetry

Poetry is also a form of literary text which follows a meter and rhythm on each lines and syllables. It is always
rhythmical, usually metaphorical, and often exhibits such formal elements as meter, rhyme, and written in
stanza structure. It follows a set of rules governing the number and arrangement of syllables in each line. In
poetry, words are looped together to form sounds, images, and ideas that might be too complex or abstract to
describe directly.

Let us discuss briefly the elements of poetry or poem.

There is also what we call narrative poetry which tells stories through verse. A narrative poem like a novel or a
short story, has plot, characters, and setting. It presents a series of events, often including action and dialogue
using a range of poetic techniques such as rhyme and meter. To compare, a short story is usually written in
recognizable sentences, while a poem is composed of lines, which may not observe the usual grammatical rules.

Furthermore, stories are organized into paragraphs, while a poem is made up of verses, or stanzas. But, both
express emotion and convey a message to readers and can be summarized based on their different elements.

Activity 1. Read the poem and answer questions that follow.

The Sea

The waves are rough,


The sea is angry.
The sand is so white,
the enormous big whale wallows in the sea,
the tiny snail clung to a rock.
Then a huge wave came,
Crashing like thunder!
The wind blows hard
The sand stings,
So do the bluebottles.
Then it is calm again.
You look into the rock pools,

What a lovely sight.


Fish, eels, snails and seaweed.
The sun sets and then we go home

- Lindy Maughan
