• Where it rose-or whither it rushes-
• There are the Western Mystery!
• Night after night her purple traffic
• Strews the landing with Opal Bales-
• Merchantmen poise upon horizons-
• Dip-and vanish like Orioles! Emily Dickinson

The Coloring SpreeSix felt pens went off to playInto the world of Yesterday.
They colored the rainbow and also the skies, They found stone statues and colored the eyes,
They colored the flowers, especially the rose,They colored the nails on a Sphynx’s toes,They colored in cracks on a castle wall,They found white parrots and colored them all,They added a touch to the autumn trees,And wrote: “Felt Rules!” on parchment leaves.
They had such fun on their coloring spreeThere isn’t much left in the pens for me!

Reading the Tree
I need to read my family Tree
upside-down.
If I turn it around with the boughs in the ground,
then offshoots are roots
that show how I grow.

Couplet: 2 consecutive lines that rhyme
Once by the Pacific by Robert Frost
The shattered water made a misty din.
Great waves looked over others coming in,
And thought of doing something to the shore
That water never did to land before.
The clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
Like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes.
You could not tell, and yet it looked as if
The shore was lucky in being backed by cliff.
The cliff in being backed by continent;
It looked as if a night of dark intent
Was coming, and not only a night, an age.
Someone had better be prepared for rage.
There would be more that ocean-water broken
Before God’s last Put out the Light was spoken.

Small SoundsHave you heard
small sounds of the world:
a tippity-tap when a ladybird lands,
the scrinching-scrunch of a slug crunching lunch
or the rumble of worm murmurs under the ground?
Have you heard
the small of the world?
![Page 14: Poetry Forms And Poetic Elements. Poetry: A type of rhythmic and compressed language that uses figures of speech and imagery that appeals to the reader’s](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649eb55503460f94bbe095/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Alliteration: the repetition of an initial consonant sound
Betty bought a bit of butter,
But the butter Betty bought was a bit bitter.
So Betty bought a bit of better butter,
To make Betty's bitter butter better.
Six sleek swans swam swiftly southwards.
If two witches were watching two watches, which witch would watch which watch ?
Jolly juggling jesters jauntily juggled jingling jacks.

Assonance: the repetition of vowel sounds.
Poetry is old, ancient, goes back far. It is among the oldest of living things. So old it is that no man knows how and why the first poems came. --
Carl Sandburg, Early Moon
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the sideOf my darling, my darling, my life and my bride.
--Edgar Allan Poe, "Annabel Lee"

Prose Poem: poetry that is written in ordinary paragraph form yet uses the elements of poetry – especially very
powerful images.
Campbell McGrath’s winding and descriptive “The Prose Poem” is a recent example of the form; it begins:
On the map it is precise and rectilinear as a chessboard, though driving past you would hardly notice it, this boundary line or ragged margin, a shallow swale that cups a simple trickle of water, less rill than rivulet, more gully than dell, a tangled ditch grown up throughout with a fearsome assortment of wildflowers and bracken. There is no fence, though here and there a weathered post asserts a former claim, strands of fallen wire taken by the dust. To the left a cornfield carries into the distance, dips and rises to the blue sky, a rolling plain of green and healthy plants aligned in close order, row upon row upon row.

Quatrain
• A four line poem or stanza LaterMy teacher said I should look up
This word: PROCRASTINATE.
I’ll check it out when I get home,
It’s just a little wait.
But after school my friends drop by,
We laugh and play and fight;
Then suddenly it’s dinner time,
I’ll look it up tonight.
But now the television’s on,
Homework’s looking bleak;
PROCRASTINATE can wait a bit,
I’ll look it up next week.

Lyric Poem: expresses a speaker’s emotions or thoughts and does not tell a story.
One Perfect RoseA single flow'r he sent me, since we met.All tenderly his messenger he chose;Deep-hearted, pure, with scented dew still wet -One perfect rose.
I knew the language of the floweret;'My fragile leaves,' it said, 'his heart enclose.'Love long has taken for his amuletOne perfect rose.
Why is it no one ever sent me yetOne perfect limousine, do you suppose?Ah no, it's always just my luck to getOne perfect rose.
• Dorothy Parker

English Sonnet:
Sonnet LXXIII That time of year thou mayst in me behold,
When yellow leaves, or none, or few do hang Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang. In me thou seest the twilight of such day,
As after sunset fadeth in the west, Which by and by black night doth take away, Death's second self that seals up all in rest. In me thou seest the glowing of such fire, That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the deathbed, whereon it must expire, Consumed by that which it was nourished by.
This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong, To love that well, which thou must leave ere long.

Italian Sonnet
"Sonnet LXXI" Who will in fairest book of Nature know How Virtue may best lodged in Beauty be, Let him but learn of Love to read in thee, Stella, those fair lines, which true goodness show. There shall he find all vices' overthrow, Not by rude force, but sweetest sovereignty Of reason, from whose light those night-birds fly; That inward sun in thine eyes shineth so. And not content to be Perfection's heir Thyself, dost strive all minds that way to move, Who mark in thee what is in thee most fair. So while thy beauty draws the heart to love, As fast thy Virtue bends that love to good.
"But, ah," Desire still cries, "give me some food." by Sir Philip Sidney,

• From The Splendor Falls
Alfred, Lord Tennyson
The splendor falls on castle walls
And snowy summits old in story;
The long light shakes across the lakes,
And the wild cataract leaps in glory;
Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying,
Blow, bugle; answer, echoes, dying dying,

Meter: a generally regular pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in poetry.
from Next! by Ogden Nash
I thought that I would like to see
The early world that used to be
That mastodonic mausoleum
The Natural History Museum.
On iron seat in marble bower,
I slumbered through the closing hour.
At midnight in the vasty hall
The fossils gathered for a ball.

Eve By Ralph HodgsonEve, with her basket, was Deep in the bells and grass, Wading in bells and grass Up to her knees, Picking a dish of sweet Berries and plums to eat, Down in the bell and grass Under the trees.

I’m a Myna
I mimic noise, I imitate a voice,I copy chat exactly as it is,And when I shout: “ROLL OVER! SIT! LIE DOWN!”a furry-one-with-fleas will leap about.I love to tock to Clock and rap with Tapwho thrums his water fingers in the sink.I’m like a magpie storing shiny thingsfor I collect the glitterings of sound.

Free Verse: poetry that does not have a regular meter or rhyme scheme.
I Dream'd in a Dream
by Walt Whitman
I DREAM'D in a dream I saw a city invincible to the attacks of the whole of the rest of the earth, I dream'd that was the new city of Friends,
Nothing was greater there than the quality of robust love, it led the rest,
It was seen every hour in the actions of the men of that city, And in all their looks and words.
