Listening to PoetryThe Class is Divided in Two

What is the speaker trying to communicate in the first poem? What is the speaker trying to communicate in the second poem. How are these poems similar?

If poetry is evocative (evokes, brings forth) of human emotion, draw a comparison between the song and the poem. Think about theme, pattern, etc.

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute, we read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. Poetry, beauty, romance and love, these are what we stay alive for."- Robin Williams, Dead Poets Society, 1989

Poetry Unlike Prose

Poetry You can recognize it when you see it. In poetry, unlike prose, the look and sound of the words are inseparable from a poems meaning. Reading poetry is different from prose in that in INVOLVES ALL THE SENSES!!!!!

Evocation of Human EmotionEVOCATION OF FEELINGS- You cannot feel it, you cannot write it.. Meant to be spoken and heard NOT READHumans have emotions. What will be your verse?

Power, Connection, the Self and the World We live in. We as creators. Food for thought What might poetry look like in the days of Romanticism? What about now, PostModernism?

Form

STANZAS A physical arrangement of words on a page this includes the length and placement of lines. The way they are grouped into stanzas. For example, some poetry is written in strict formal patterns. (Sonnets) 14 line poem. 3 quatrains (3 stanzas with 4 lines) and a couplet (the last two lines) usually the resolution or ending. Shakespeare is very popular for his English Sonnet. Other poetry, known as free verse, is not.
