LEARNING HANDOUTS IN CREATIVE WRITING

FIRST QUARTER WEEK 2
POETRY
A. Topic: Elements, Techniques and Literary Devices in Poetry
B. Most Essential Learning Competency: Identify the various elements, techniques, and
literary devices in specific forms of poetry
C. Instruction: Read and understand the following concepts on Poetry.
D. Lecture:
1. What is Poetry?
Poetry is a type of literature based on the interplay of words and rhythm. It often
employs rhyme and meter (a set of rules governing the number and arrangement of syllables
in each line). In poetry, words are strung together to form sounds, images, and ideas that
might be too complex or abstract to describe directly.
Poetry was once written according to fairly strict rules of meter and rhyme, and each culture
had its own rules. For example, Anglo-Saxon poets had their own rhyme schemes and meters,
while Greek poets and Arabic poets had others. Although these classical forms are still widely
used today, modern poets frequently do away with rules altogether – their poems generally
do not rhyme, and do not fit any particular meter. These poems, however, still have a rhythmic
quality and seek to create beauty through their words.
The opposite of poetry is “prose” – that is, normal text that runs without line breaks or
rhythm. This article, for example, is written in prose.
2. Importance of Poetry
Poetry is probably the oldest form of literature, and probably predates the origin of writing
itself. The oldest written manuscripts we have are poems, mostly epic poems telling the stories
of ancient mythology. Examples include the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Vedas (sacred texts
of Hinduism). This style of writing may have developed to help people memorize long chains
of information in the days before writing. Rhythm and rhyme can make the text more
memorable, and thus easier to preserve for cultures that do not have a written language.
Poetry can be written with all the same purposes as any other kind of literature – beauty,
humor, storytelling, political messages, etc.
3. Elements of Poetry
The basic elements of poetry are important prerequisites to understanding poetry.
These elements include:
• 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.
• 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.
• Verse: The verse of the poem is a way to describe the relationship between
rhyme and meter in a poem.
• 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
9
are separated from other stanzas within the poem through the use of a break or
a blank line.
• Line: A line is a subdivision of a poem, specifically a group of words arranged
into a row that ends for a reason other than the right-hand margin. This reason
could be that the lines are arranged to have a certain number of syllables, a
certain number of stresses, or of metrical feet; it could be that they are arranged
so that they rhyme, whether they be of equal length or not.
• Tone: the poet’s attitude toward the poem’s speaker, reader, and subject
matter, as interpreted by the reader. Often described as a “mood” that pervades
the experience of reading the poem, it is created by the poem’s
vocabulary, metrical regularity or irregularity, syntax, use of figurative
language, and rhyme.
• Theme: the theme of a poem is the message an author wants to
communicate through the piece. The theme differs from the main idea
because the main idea describes what the text is mostly about.
4. Techniques and Literary Devices

4.1 Rhyming
Rhyming is the most obvious poetic technique used. It helps to make poems flow.
Poems do not have to rhyme, however; there are many poems that are free verse—a
style that allows poets the flexibility to write their thoughts and ideas without the
constraint of following a particular rhyming pattern. There are several different rhyming
patterns and schemes. Which one a poet uses will depend on the topic, style, and theme
of the poem.
4.2 Repetition
Repetition involves repeating a line or a word several times in a poem. Poets use this to
emphasize a point, to bring attention to a particular item or theme, to achieve a particular
effect, or to provoke an emotional reaction from the reader.
4.3 Onomatopoeia
4.4 Alliteration
4.5 Assonance
4.6 Simile
4.7 Metaphor
4.8 Hyperbole
4.9 Symbolism
Symbolism is when a poet uses objects, colors, sounds, or places to represent
something else. For instance, snakes are often associated with evil, while white doves
are related to peace.
5. Forms of Poetry
Haiku
Tanaga
Concrete Poetry
Limerick
Freeverse
Blank Verse
Sonnet
Epic
