    o

    Listening to Poetry
    The Class is Divided in Two  What is the speaker trying to
    communicate in the first
    poem? What is the speaker
    trying to communicate in the
    second poem. How are these
    poems similar?

     If poetry is evocative (evokes,


    brings forth) of human
    emotion, draw a comparison
    between the song and the
    poem. Think about theme,
    pattern, etc.
     
    “We don't read and write poetry because it's cute, we
    read and write poetry because we are members of the
    human race. Poetry, beauty, romance and love, these
    are what we stay alive for." 
                                  

    - Robin Williams, Dead Poets Society, 1989


    Poetry Unlike Prose
     Poetry – You can recognize it when you
    see it. In poetry, unlike prose, the look
    and sound of the words are inseparable
    from a poem’s meaning.  
     Reading poetry is different from prose in
    that in INVOLVES ALL THE SENSES!!!!!
     
    Evocation of Human Emotion
    Humans have emotions. What will be your verse?
    EVOCATION OF FEELINGS- You cannot
    feel it, you cannot write it.. Meant to be
    spoken and heard – NOT READ

     Power, Connection, the Self


    and the World We live in.
    We as creators.
     Food for thought – What
    might poetry look like in
    the days of Romanticism?
    What about now,
    PostModernism?
    Form
     STANZAS
     A physical arrangement of words on a page – this includes
    the length and placement of lines.
     The way they are grouped into stanzas.
     For example, some poetry is written in strict formal patterns.
    (Sonnets) 14 line poem. 3 quatrains (3 stanzas with 4 lines)
    and a couplet (the last two lines) usually the resolution or
    ending. Shakespeare is very popular for his English Sonnet.
     Other poetry, known as free verse, is not.
    Form &
    Structure Con’t
    Poets choose forms that help them
    convey their ideas. (Poetry invokes
    emotions. In many ways it is
    poignant and personal - make to
    appeal to senses. You feel what the
    speaker feels)
    Sound Devices
    Sound Devices – techniques to produce special qualities of sound.
     Alliteration – repetition of initial consonant sounds. ( jiggle
    and jump for joy)
     Assonance – repetition in vowel sounds within words( greed
    as deep as the sea)
     Consonance – repetition of consonant sounds. (of
    fleet foot and sound mind)
     Rhyme – repetition of final sounds in two or more words. ( a
    stray gray tray)
    Devices Con’t
     Rhyme scheme – pattern formed by the lines at
    the end of the lines.
     You might see various examples of
    Onomatopoeia.
    Onomatopoeia is the use of words to create sound.
    For example; snort, whir, whish, clank, clunk, swish
