 \n1) Simile 6) Stanza  \n2) Metaphor 7) Onomatopoeia  \n3) Personification 8) Alliteration  \n4) Imagery 9) Rhyme  \n5) Structure 10)Rhythm  \nA) Use of the senses to create a more vivid description for the reader.  \nB) How the poem appears on the page, how it is constructed and organised.  \nC) The use of words with matching sounds, usually at the end of a line.  \nD) A comparison using like or as.  \nE) A more sophisticated word for a verse in a poem.  \nF) A direct comparison of two things with similar qualities.  \nG) Words which sound like their meaning.  \nH) The pace or beat of the poem. Reading aloud can help determine this.  \nI) A type of metaphor which lends human qualities to inanimate or natural objects.  \nJ) A repeated sound at the beginning of two or more words.  \nWhat is Poetry?  \nThe answer is not so obvious!  \nMany different poets and writers have tried to define what Poetry is: it is not just about lines that rhyme or following certain rules.  \n1. Read through the following definitions.  \n‘Poetry is the best words in the best order’ – Samuel Taylor Coleridge.  \n‘Poetry is an outpouring of emotions’ – William Wordsworth.  \n‘Poets deal in writing about feelings and trying to find the language and images for intense feelings. So all Poetry is emotional’ – Carol Ann Duffy.  \n‘Poetry is language at its most distilled and powerful’ -Rita Dove  \n‘Poetry makes us see things in a different way. It can make the ordinary become magical and shows us that language itself is magical’ -Pablo Neruda  \n2. Which of these quotations do you think is the best definition and why?  \n___________________________________________________________________________  \n___________________________________________________________________________  \n3. What else do you think makes a poem a poem? Hint: think about how poetry is different to storytelling.  \n___________________________________________________________________________  \n4. Write your own definition of poetry using your own ideas and those shared above.  \n___________________________________________________________________________  \n___________________________________________________________________________  \nHaiku  \nTitle:   A giant firefly:  \nthat way, this way, that way, this – and it passes by.  \nReason:  \n___________________________________________________________  \n___________________________________________________________  \nTitle:   Everywhere it drips.  \nWebs beaded with jewellery.  \nMorning is still new.  \nReason:  \n___________________________________________________________  \n___________________________________________________________  \nTitle:   Mysterious bug,  \nin scarlet cape with black dots, creeps upon a leaf.  \nReason:  \n___________________________________________________________  \n___________________________________________________________  \nTitle:    \nI thought of myself under cemetery mud and put flowers there.  \nReason:  \n___________________________________________________________  \n___________________________________________________________  \nTitle:    \nTo convey one’s mood in seventeen syllables is very difficult.  \nReason:  \n___________________________________________________________  \n___________________________________________________________  \nChallenge: use this space to write your own.  \nYear 7 Homework Project – Exploring Poetry  \nLearning Objective: Poetry is one of the most powerful forms of expression. There are many different tools and structures that poets use to get their meaning across, yet at the same time, there are no set rules. This project aims to introduce you to some different ways of writing poetry while equipping you with the terminology to be able to talk about it. It also aims to encourage and develop your own creativity.  \nExploring Poetry  \nHard copies of all work completed will need to be handed in to your English teacher at the end of the project.
