and literary devices in poetry; and

Introduction
Poetry is a form of literary expression characterized by its use of language to
evoke emotions, create vivid imagery, and convey complex ideas through
carefully crafted and structured verses or lines.
Poetry has a rich historical significance that spans across cultures and time
periods. Many poets have used their craft to comment on and critique
political and social issues of their time. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability
to capture the essence of human experience and emotion.
Imagery
In poetry, it is a powerful literary tool
that uses vivid language to create
sensory experiences for the reader,
engaging multiple senses and emotions.
It allows readers to connect with the text
on a personal level.
Imagery example
Imagery using visuals:
The night was black as ever, but bright stars lit up the
sky in beautiful and varied constellations which were
sprinkled across the astronomical landscape.
In this example, the experience of the night sky is described in depth with color
(black as ever, bright), shape (varied constellations), and pattern (sprinkled).
Imagery example
Imagery using sounds:
Silence was broken by the peal of piano keys as
Shannon began practicing her concerto.
Here, auditory imagery breaks silence with the

beautiful sound of piano keys.
Imagery example
Imagery using scent:
She smelled the scent of sweet hibiscus wafting
through the air, its tropical smell a reminder that she
was on vacation in a beautiful place.
The scent of hibiscus helps describe a scene which is

relaxing, warm, and welcoming.
Imagery example
Imagery using taste:
The candy melted in her mouth and swirls of
bittersweet chocolate and slightly sweet but salty
caramel blended together on her tongue.
Thanks to an in-depth description of the candy’s

various flavors, the reader can almost experience the
deliciousness directly.
Imagery example
Imagery using touch:
After the long run, he collapsed in the grass with
tired and burning muscles. The grass tickled his skin
and sweat cooled on his brow.
In this example, imagery is used to describe the

feeling of strained muscles, grass’s tickle, and sweat
cooling on skin.
Figurative Language
Enhances a poem's depth by allowing
multiple interpretation layers,
emphasizing central themes, and
highlighting specific elements, making the
message memorable and impactful while
allowing poets to escape literal
expressions.
Figurative Language Example
You are using figurative language when writing goes beyond the actual
meanings of words so that the reader gains new insights into the objects or
subjects in the work.
Alright, the sky misses the sun at night.

The poorest man is the richest, and the rich are poor.
Rhyme
The correspondence of sounds in
stressed syllables of words, enhances
poem cohesion and reinforces
thematic and emotional elements by
connecting words and ideas. It can
appear at the end of lines.
Rhyme Example
Rhythm
In poetry, it is the pattern of stressed

and unstressed syllables in a line of
verse, creating a heartbeat and
rhythmic pulse, conveying emotions
and facilitating poem structure.
Rhythm Example
Sound Devices
In poetry, it enhances the auditory

dimension, enhancing the emotional
resonance and musicality of language.
Common devices include alliteration,
assonance, consonance, and
onomatopoeia, creating depth and texture
in the poem.
Sound Devices Example
Poetic Form
It encompasses the structure and
organization of a poem, including
elements like rhyme scheme, meter,
line length, and stanzaic arrangement.
Each form has its own rules,
influencing the poem's meaning and
impact.
Poetic Form Example
Tone & Mood
The author's emotional stance
towards the subject matter,
conveyed through words, phrasing,
and style, while mood is the
emotional atmosphere created by
the poem, evoking reader emotions.
Tone & Mood Example
Symbolism
A literary technique where objects,
people, or words represent abstract
meanings beyond their literal meaning. It
can evoke emotions, convey themes, and
add layers of complexity to poems,
allowing readers to connect deeply.
Symbolism Example
Theme
A theme in poetry is a central idea
or insight conveyed by the poet,
providing a unifying focus and
allowing poets to explore various
human experiences, emotions, and
truths.
Theme Example
Activity
Writing a poem can be challenging if you don’t have any idea what to
write about. This is where a theme or a subject helps you. In the activity
that follows, provide any word that will describe the ideas that are found
in the center circles.
Assignment
Using the poems that you’ve written in the previous activities, select a
poem that you can add more lines, using images or statements that will
show your tone towards the subject.
Thank you for
listening!
