 PROSE
VS
POETRY
what is the difference between the two?
 POETRY
• “Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful
feelings; it takes its origin from emotion
recollected in tranquillity” – William Wordsworth

• T.S. Elliot claim the opposite: “Poetry is not a

turning loose of emotion, but an escape from
emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but
an escape from personality”.
 POETRY
• The Encyclopaedia Americana defines this as
the most difficult of literary genres to write
“as emotional and imaginative discourse in
metrical form– that is, the representation of
experiences or ideas with special reference to
their emotional significance, in language
characterized by imagery and rhythmic
sound.”
 POETRY

•Poetry is similar to painting and

sculpture because of its use of imagery,
symbolism, simile and metaphor, and
other kinds of tropes, which creates in
the reader’s mind concrete objects and
pictures.
 POETRY
It is superior to visual arts because it has
the capacity to render continuity of
movement, since images created by
poetry tend to be more dynamic than the
images rendered in painting and
sculpture.
 POETRY
Poetry is also similar to music because
of its use of rhythm and rhyme, metrical
measures, alliteration and assonance,
and other types of rhetorical figures
which evokes melody and music.
 POETRY

•Using the poetic line rather than the

sentence as the primary unit
•Relying more on images than in
abstractions
•Cultivating the sound of words
 POETRY

•Developing rhythms of languages

•Creating density by implying far

more than is stated
 KINDS
OF
STANZAS
What are the different
kinds of stanzas?
 STANZAS IN POETRY
Every stanza in a poem has its own concept and
serves a unique purpose. A stanza may be
arranged according to rhyming patterns and
meters—the syllabic beats of a line. It can also
be a free-flowing verse that has no formal
structure.
 STANZAS IN POETRY
A stanza is a series of lines grouped together in
order to divide a poem; the structure of a stanza
is often (though not always) repeated
throughout the poem. Stanzas are separated
from other stanzas by line breaks. Each stanza is
a standalone unit that can either make up an
entire poem or can build a bigger poem with
other stanzas.
 STANZAS IN POETRY

In Italian, the word “stanza” means

“room.” Stanzas, then function in a
poem like rooms function in a
house.
 STANZAS IN POETRY
A stanza can reveal the following
about a poem:
• structure
• pattern
• organization
• set a mood
• shape
 STANZAS IN POETRY
Here are some different types of
stanzas:
• monostich
• couplet
• tercet
• quatrain
• quntain
 STANZAS IN POETRY

Here are some different types of

stanzas:
• sestet
• septet
• octave
 STANZAS IN POETRY

• Isometric stanza. Isometric

stanzas have the same syllabic
beats, or the same meter, in
every line.
 STANZAS IN POETRY

• Heterometric stanza. A stanza

in which every line is a
different length.
 STANZAS IN POETRY
Spenserian stanza. Named after Edward Spenser’s
unique stanza structure in his poem “The Faerie
Queene.” A Spenserian stanza has nine line, eight
in iambic pentameter—ten syllables in a line with
emphasis on the second beat of each syllable—
and a final line in iambic hexameter—a twelve-
syllable beat line.
 STANZAS IN POETRY
Ballad stanza. Often used in folk songs, a
ballad stanza is a rhyming quatrain with four
emphasized beats (eight syllables) in the first
and third lines, and three emphasized beats
(six syllables) in the second and fourth lines.
 KINDS
OF
RHYMING
SCHEME
What are the different
kinds of rhyming scheme?
 RHYMIN
G
SCHEME
the pattern of end rhymes in a
poetry
In an alternate rhyme, the first and ALTERN
third lines rhyme at the end, and the ATE
second and fourth lines rhyme at the RHYME
end following the pattern ABAB for
each stanza. This rhyme scheme is
used for poems with four-line
stanzas.
 ALTERN
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, “A Psalm ATE
of Life” RHYME

Tell me not, in mournful numbers, Life is

but an empty dream!—
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
It is a lyric poem that follows the
rhyme scheme ABABBCBC. BALLAD
E
Ballades typically have three, eight-
line stanzas and conclude with a
four-line stanza. The last line of each
stanza is the same, which is called a
refrain.
Andrew Lang, “Ballade of the Optimist”
BALLAD
And, sometimes on a summer's day E
To self and every mortal ill
We give the slip, we steal away,
To walk beside some sedgy rill:
The darkening years, the cares that kill,
A little while are well forgot;
When deep in broom upon the hill,
We'd rather be alive than not.
It is a two-line stanza that rhymes COUPLE
following the rhyme scheme AA BB D
CC, or a similar dual rhyming scheme. RHYME
The rhymes themselves are referred to
as rhyming couplets. Shakespeare’s
sonnets end with rhyming couplets,
such as this one:
 COUPLE
D
William Shakespeare, “Sonnet 18” RHYME

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
 MONORHYM
E
In a monorhyme, all the lines in a
stanza or entire poem end with the
same rhyme.
William Blake, “Silent, Silent Night”

MONORHYM
Silent Silent Night Quench the holy light E
Of thy torches bright
For possess’d of Day Thousand spirits
stray That sweet joys betray
Why should joys be sweet Used with
deceit Nor with sorrows meet
But an honest joy Does itself destroy For a
harlot coy
The first and fourth lines and the ENCLOS
second and third lines rhyme with ED
each other in an enclosed rhyme
RHYME
scheme. The pattern is ABBA, in
which A encloses the B.
What causes me to love a poem by ENCLOS
Connie Marcum Wong ED
RHYME
What causes me to love a poem
Is one that lingers in my mind,
A poem of a kindred spirit kind,
The kind that makes me feel at home.
Shakespearean sonnet is a 14-line
poem that includes three, four-line
SONNET
stanzas and a concluding couplet. The
sonnet follows the rhyme scheme
ABAB CDCD EFEF GG. This rhyme
scheme and verse structure are unique
to a Shakespearean sonnet.
Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed,
The dear repose for limbs with travel tired;
But then begins a journey in my head, SONNET
To work my mind, when body’s work’s expired:
For then my thoughts (from far where I abide)
27
Intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee,
And keep my drooping eyelids open wide,
Looking on darkness which the blind do see:
Save that my soul’s imaginary sight
Presents thy shadow to my sightless view,
Which, like a jewel hung in ghastly night,
Makes black night beauteous and her old face new.
Lo, thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind,
For thee, and for myself, no quiet find.
The Italian sonnet, which was created first, is the
combination of an octave (eight lines broken into
two quatrains) and a sestet (six lines broken into two SONNET
tercets). The octave proposes a problem or question,
and the sestet generally proposes the solution, or
leads toward a conclusion. The ninth line of this
sonnet, i.e., the first line of the sestet marks a turn in
mood or stance whether or not there is a satisfactory
conclusion. This turn is called the volta.
Italian sonnets are known as Petrarchan because the SONNET
Italian writer Petrarch was one of the main
proponents of the form. The rhyme scheme he used
was generally ABBA ABBA for the octave and
either CDC CDC or CDE CDE for the sestet. There
are a few other accepted rhyme schemes for the
sestets in Italian sonnets, such as CDD CDE or CDC
DCD.
The English poet Edmund Spenser, who lived SONNET
and wrote during the Elizabethan age, used a
slightly different rhyme scheme in his sonnets:
ABAB BCBC CDCD EE. This provides a
tighter connection between the different
stanzas.
Modern Sonnet SONNET
Contemporary poets have continued to expand
on the sonnet form, choosing to write in
trochees, tetrameter, in blank verse, and with
different rhyme schemes, such as AABB CCDD
EEFF GG.
Simple four-line rhyme. These poems follow a
rhyme scheme of ABCB throughout the entire SIMPLE

POETIC FORMS
what are the forms of poetry?
 BLANK VERSE
Blank verse is poetry written with a
precise meter—almost always
iambic pentameter—that does not
rhyme
 RHYMED POEM
In contrast to blank verse, rhymed
poems rhyme by definition,
although their scheme varies.
 FREE VERSE
Free verse poetry is poetry that
lacks a consistent rhyme scheme,
metrical pattern, or musical form.
 FREE
VERSE
Poem that does not have a regular
rhythm or rhyme.
 EPIC
An epic poem is a lengthy,
narrative work of poetry. These long
poems typically detail extraordinary
feats and adventures of characters
from a distant past.
 NARRATIVE
Similar to an epic, a narrative poem
tells a story. Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow’s “The Midnight Ride of
Paul Revere” and Samuel Taylor
Coleridge’s “The Rime of the Ancient
Mariner” exemplify this form.
 HAIKU
A haiku is a three-line poetic form
originating in Japan. The first line has
five syllables, the second line has seven
syllables, and the third line again has
five syllables.
 PASTORAL
POEM
A pastoral poem is one that concerns the
natural world, rural life, and landscapes.
These poems have persevered from Ancient
Greece (in the poetry of Hesiod) to Ancient
Rome (Virgil) to the present day (Gary
Snyder).
 ELEGY
An elegy is a poem that reflects upon death
or loss. Traditionally, it contains themes of
mourning, loss, and reflection. However, it
can also explore themes of redemption and
consolation.
 ODE
Much like an elegy, an ode is a tribute to its
subject, although the subject need not be
dead—or even sentient, as in John Keats’
“Ode on a Grecian Urn”.
 LYRIC POETRY
Lyric poetry refers to the broad category of
poetry that concerns feelings and emotion.
This distinguishes it from two other poetic
categories: epic and dramatic.

 BALLAD
A ballad (or ballade) is a form of narrative
verse that can be either poetic or musical. It
typically follows a pattern of rhymed
quatrains. From John Keats to Samuel
Taylor Coleridge to Bob Dylan, it
represents a melodious form of storytelling.
 SOLILOQUY
A soliloquy is a monologue in which a
character speaks to him or herself, expressing
inner thoughts that an audience might not
otherwise know. Soliloquies are not
definitionally poems, although they often can
be—most famously in the plays of William
Shakespeare.
