    ENG 162: SAS 4-5

    Contemporary Literature: Poetry


    SAS 4: Poetry
    POEM: is a collection of spoken or written words that
    expresses ideas or emotions in a powerfully vivid and
    imaginative style. Normally, it uses some kind of rhyme, and
    metrical pattern.

    It may be used to tell stories, record memories, express


    desire, and even share information.
    Types of Poems
    Free Verse: lines are unrhymed, and there are no
    consistent metrical patterns.
    Rhymed Poem: They give poems a musical feeling,
    whether they appear at the end or in the middle of a
    line.
    Epic: a long narrative poem that tells the story of
    heroic deeds, normally accomplished by more-than-
    human characters.
    Ex: Paradise Lost by John Milton
    Types of Poems
    End rhyme: They occur when the last word of two or more lines
    rhyme.
    “The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
    But I have promises to keep”
    Internal Rhyme: It refers to words that rhyme in the middle of the
    same line or across multiple lines
    “The fat cat in the hat ran out the door.”
    Imperfect Rhyme: It refers to two words that rhyme in part, but not
    perfectly.
    “love and move” “bridge and fudge”
    Types of Poems
    Haiku: a popular three-line Japanese poem that follows a syllable
    pattern of 5-7-5. It is often about nature.
    Elegy: a poem or song that is written in dedication to someone
    who has died. There is usually an emphasis placed on what the
    world is going to be like now that they are gone.
    Soliloquy: a dramatic literary device that is used when a character
    gives a speech that reveals something about their thought process.
    Parts of a Poem
    Meter: Meter is the rhythmic structure within a poem and is
    dictated by the number of syllables and the pattern in which these
    syllables are emphasized.
    Rhyme: Rhyme is created when the last one or more syllables
    within separate words match. A poem is considered to rhyme
    when the last words of the lines within the verse share this
    relationship.
    Verse: The verse of the poem is a way to describe the relationship
    between rhyme and meter in a poem.
    Parts of a Poem
    Scheme: A scheme refers to the rhyming pattern within a verse of
    poetry. The scheme could contain words that rhyme at each of
    every line throughout the stanza, or alternating lines, or in couplets.
    We often signify the rhyme scheme using an arrangement of letters.
    Stanza: A stanza is a group of lines within the verse of a poem.
    They often follow a similar pattern or meter or contain a similar
    idea, but not always. They are separated from other stanzas within
    the poem through the use of a break or a blank line.
    SAS 5: Spoken Poetry

    It mainly involves a poetic text meant for reading out loud


    and a performer. As an art form, it has a history that dates
    back as early as the classical era.
    The genre developed in the United States in the early 20th-
    century. According to scholars, the poetry of the Harlem
    Renaissance, Beat Generation, and Last Poets played an
    important role in the development of the spoken word in
    the US.
    SAS 5: Spoken Poetry

    1973: Nuyorican Poets Café was founded (one of the


    oldest venues of the spoken word)
    Marc Smith: started the poetry slam in 1984
    1990: First National Poetry Slam
