The Ravenby
Edgar Allan Poe
And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted nevermore.
• “Nevermore” and “Nothing more” are repeated throughout this poem

Repetition

Bavarian gentians, big and dark, only dark darkening the day-time, torch-like with the smoking blossoms of Pluto's gloom, ribbed and torch-like, with their blaze of darkness spread blue down flattening into points, flattened under the sweep of white day torch-flower of the blue-smoking darkness, Pluto's dark-blue daze, black lamps from the halls of Dis, burning dark blue, giving off darkness, blue darkness, as Demeter's pale lamps give off light, lead me then, lead the way.

Rhyme

After SchoolLie beneath a spreading tree
With golden flowers in the sun. Count to five on all the petals,Never think of five plus one.
Watch the building-crammed horizon,Sky no longer meeting ground.
Watch the golden flowers witherWatch the golden dreams fall down.

“The Road Not Taken”by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fairAnd having perhaps the better claim,Because it was grassy and wanted wear;Though as for that, the passing thereHad worn them really about the same,

Blank Verse
Poetry written in unrhymed iambic pentameter lines
Excerpt from Macbethby
William ShakespeareTomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Concrete verse
Has a shape that suggests its subject
Spiritsfalling in puddles of grief,
disappointment drowning hope,tissues soaked in sadness, umbrellasraised in futile defense, ears closed to
the rain song. Eyes swollen, moist and red,fingers gripping an offered hand, feet unable
to move, flowers surround, unseen by one who isunaware of the rain song. Music, soft, sweet, and low,
prayers mumbled respectfully, love shared with family andfriends. Memories linger, vibrant and warm as hearts beat in
time with the rain song. Emptiness, loneliness yet to come, fearsfor tomorrow, tears for today, self-pity and doubt, anger and pain

Couplet
Two consecutive lines of poetry that rhyme
“Casey at the Bat”The sneer has fled from Casey's lip, the
teeth are clenched in hate;He pounds with cruel violence his bat
upon the plate.And now the pitcher holds the ball, and
now he lets it go,And now the air is shattered by the force
of Casey's blow.

Free verse
Poetry that has no regular meter
Mirror, MirrorMy game face is blue. I must put it back on, see
How much of my glory was real And how much fever.
I see drawn eyes, too much marring,A suit of swan feathers
Without the matching shape.And however I imagine lights,
No straw spins to gold.I see as I have been seen,
Not radiant, but ashine in hopeYet to see a finish.

Sonnet
A 14-line poem usually written in rhymed iambic pentameter
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date. Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd; But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st; Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

THOU still unravish'd bride of quietness, Thou foster-child of Silence and slow Time, Sylvan historian, who canst thus express
A flowery tale more sweetly than our rhyme: What leaf-fringed legend haunts about thy shape
Of deities or mortals, or of both, In Tempe or the dales of Arcady?
What men or gods are these? What maidens loth? What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape? What pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy?
