POINT OF VIEW IN POETRY

SPEAKER

The speaker of the poem is the “narrator” of the poem. The voice coming through the poem

NOTE: The poet and the speaker are NOT the same thing.

POET

The poet is the author of the poem.

Rhyme-Repetition of same or similar sounds

“Fireflies” by Owl City‘cause I’d get a thousand hugsFrom ten thousand lightning bugsAs they tried to teach me how to danceA foxtrot above my headA sock hop beneath my bedThe disco ball is just hanging by a thread.

Rhythm-pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables

Example: Shakespeare

Double, Double Toil and Trouble

Fire burn and cauldron bubble

Shift-a change in a poem’s

speaker or attitude

Example:

Look for specific words like “but,” “yet” or “and yet,”. They will often indicate a shift in a poem

Narrative-a poem that tells a story

The Snowman

There once was a very happy snowmanwho was loved by all the boys and girls.He would watch them run and playwith each passing day.

 One day the sun was so brightthe snowman knew it wasn't quite right.He hoped with each daythat he would not melt awayif only he could make it until night.

As the days became warmer and warmerthe snowman knew he was in danger.He said his good-byes and looked in their eyesand said, "I promise I'll see you again."

The next snowy daythe children all came out to play.They worked for hours togetherto bring their friend back to them.

Before the days endthey all had their friend.The happy snowman joined themonce again

Sonnet-14 line, rhyming poem that expresses a single thought, idea, or sentiment

“I wrote 154 of these!”

Example: Sonnet 18 by Shakespeare1 Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?2 Thou art more lovely and more temperate:3 Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,4 And summer's lease hath all too short a date:5 Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,6 And often is his gold complexion dimmed,7 And every fair from fair sometime declines,8 By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed:9 But thy eternal summer shall not fade,10 Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,11 Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,12 When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,13 So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,14 So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

What is the thought, idea or sentiment behind this poem?

Free Verse PoemFree verse poetry is free from the normal rules of poetry. No length requirementsNo rhyme, meter, subject matter

restraints. Free verse poetry is not just gibberish however. It still

must have a subject, must be lexical (understandable) words.

It may be more difficult to write free verse than any other form, simply because the poet has more decisions to make. (unlike Haiku, which has a specific form).

Free Verse Poem example

“Kittens” by Alaina ?

The kittens stretch, like an elastic headband!They go outside for some fresh airAnd do what kittens do.A fox approaches and sees themThe kittens run back,Where it is safe.Their owner picks them upAnd lies them on herLap and pets them as they go to sleep.MEOW!! Prrr!! MEOW!!
