Chapter+9

Chapter 9: Language of Poetry Poetry has many different forms and records shared experiences. Each word is denotative, connotative, and harmonious. There is the narrative poem which tells a story or series of events, they lyric poem which is usually short and share the experience instead of explain it (like a quick flash of an emotional moment not explained), and the dramatic poem which concerns one or more person and contains a distinct revelation. Allusions and figures of speech are commonly used. Both of these things are important to know and teach our students so they may better understand the story and the poem, especially when they get towards middle school and high school. Poetic syntax involves the use of stanzas an dlines. Tone color uses figures of speech, alliteration, onomatopoeia, assonance, and consonance.
