Recap of Elements of Poetry
Recap of Elements of Poetry
Elements of poetry are structural elements that are found in a poem to give it structure, fluidity, and meaning. The elements of poetry discussed in the past class were:
Line
Stanza
Theme
Mood
Symbolism
Rhyme Scheme
Metaphor
Repetition
Simile
Alliteration
Personification
For this class, we will be taking a closer look at five types of poetry. There are a lot more styles of poetry, but for this class, it will only be five, which are:
Free Verse
Acrostic
Haiku
Elegy
Sonnet
The diversity found in poetry is enriching, and it will give us a wider view of the topic. Poetry is more than verses and stanzas.
