Poetry is a big part of grade 9 applied English. First you have the Poetic devices, then you have to types of poems, Stanzas, and rhyme scheme.
Poetic Devices:
First we are going to look at the Poetic devices, these are what poets use to make their poem have more depth and feeling but they do not always have to use them to make a poem. These devices are;
- Metaphor
- Simile
- Onomatopoeia
- Hyperbole
- Alliteration
- Personification
- Imagery
- Rhyme Scheme
- Figurative language
The definitions of these words is shown below
Metaphor:
A metaphor is a comparison not using like or as, Here is and Example:
"He was the devil"
Simile:
A simile is a comparison of two things using like or as, For an Example:
She was like an Angel
Onomatopoeia:
Onomatopoeia is using a word that imitates a sound, An Example of that is:
"Bzzzzz! the bee went."
Hyperbole: Pronounced ( Hy-per-bully)
A hyperbole is the poets use of exaggeration or an overstatement for effect. Here is an Example:
"I told you not to do that a million times."
Alliteration:
The repetition of the first letter of many words. It is usually consonant sounds. an Example:
"Tom told Tim to tile his floor."
Personification:
personification is something non-human described with human characteristics. For and Example:
"The tree was sad as the wind knocked it over"
Imagery:
imagery can be identified as "pictures in the minds eye" as the writing puts an image in your head as you read, it is usually very detailed. Example:
The red Rose waved in the wind as the clouds of the blue sky moved.
Rhyme Scheme:
Rhyme scheme is the pattern of rhyming words in a poem. The rhyme scheme is identified by using different letters of the alphabet. Here is an example of rhyme scheme:
She was very mad (A) ( Any words that end with a D get an A now )
At her wonderful dad (A)
Because he took her rope (B) ( Any words that end with a E get an B now )
She really could not cope (B)
Figurative Language:
Figurative language uses a comparison or an exaggeration to make a point. Literal language means exactly what it says: "The tack is sharp" Figurative language does not mean exactly what it says: "The student is sharp as a tack" This does not mean the student has a pointed head; it means the student is very smart.
Those are the main things you think about while writing or reading a poem. it will help you understand the poem more.
