Spun with words of wonder,
Woven lace held in place
By whispers made of

SECTION 1: WHAT IS POETRY? ____________________________________________________________________________________________
Poetry can be defined as writing in which feelings and ideas are given intensity by the use of:
…figurative language (such as simile and metaphor)
…poetic devices (such as rhyme and repetition)
…rhythm and meter (the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables)
…the division of text into lines and verses (instead of sentences and paragraphs)
TYPES OF POEMS
1. Rhyming Poetry:
Any rhymes here? https://www.familyfriendpoems.com/poem/the-life-of-a-cupcake
Rhyme is the repetition of the same or similar sounds at the end of two or more words at the ends of lines. This
technique makes the poem easy to remember and is therefore often used in Nursery Rhymes. There are two
types of rhyme:
Hands on: Work with a partner. Using your iPads, explain and find and write an example for each rhyme type

SECTION 1: WHAT IS POETRY? - Rhyming Poems ___________________________________________________________________
Rhyme Scheme Rhyme scheme is a poet's strategy of choosing which lines in poetry will rhyme with each other. The rhyme scheme, or pattern, can be identified by giving end words that rhyme with each other the same letter. For instance, take the poem 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star', written by Jane Taylor in 1806. Can you try to complete the rhyme scheme for the poem below?
'Twinkle, twinkle, little star, _______
How I wonder what you are. _______
Up above the world so high, _______
Like a diamond in the sky._______
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, _______
How I wonder what you are!' _______
Limericks:
A limerick is a funny (and sometimes rude) poem with a strong beat. Limericks are entertaining poems and can sometimes be just nonsense. They are great for kids to both read and write as they are short and funny. A limerick should have a specific rhyme scheme and consists of five lines. * The first line of a limerick poem usually begins with 'There was a....' and ends with a name, person or place. * The last line of a limerick is normally a little unusual.
Read the limerick below and write the rhyme scheme in parenthesis. Use the words in the box to complete the descriptions:
A limerick from the Book of Nonsense by Edward Lear
There was an Old Man with a beard (___) Introduces the _____________________
Who said, 'It is just as I feared! (___) What’s ________________ about the character
Two Owls and a Hen, (___) Two _______________ lines that continue the story
Four Larks and a Wren, (___)
Have all built their nests in my beard!’(___) Gives the ______________ of the joke.

SECTION 1: WHAT IS POETRY? - Non-rhyming Poetry
____________________________________________________________________
2. Non-rhyming Poetry:
Not all the poems need to rhyme. There are some poem types that do NOT follow a specific rhyme scheme.
Haiku:
Haiku Poetry is a Japanese poem composed of three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables. Haiku
poetry originated in the sixteenth century in Japan and reflects on some aspect of nature to create images.
A Haiku is a type of poetry that can be written on many themes, from love to nature.
Examples of Haiku Poetry:
(5) The sky is so blue. (7) The sun is so warm up high.
(5)I love the summer.
Now, it’s your turn. Write a Haiku poem and illustrate with a picture that goes with it:
____________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________
__________________________________________
Cinquain:
American poet Adelaide Crapsey created the cinquain based on the Japanese haiku. A cinquain consists of
five unrhymed lines.
Line 1 is one word (the title)
Line 2 is two words that describe the title
Line 3 is three words that tell the action
Line 4 is a four word phrase that expresses feeling
Line 5 is one word that recalls the title
Hands on: You’ve tried Haiku, now, try the cinquain

______________________________________________________
Read the poems below and find at least 3 literary devices used in each poem. Underline the example and write the
name of the literary device on the blanks:
1. Predictable
Poor as a church mouse. strong as an ox,
cute as a button, smart as a fox.
thin as a toothpick, white as a ghost,
fit as a fiddle, dumb as a post. bald as an eagle,
neat as a pin, proud as a peacock,
ugly as sin. When people are talking
you know what they'll say as soon as they start to
use a cliché.
2. The Railway Train
by Emily Dickinson
I like to see it lap the miles, And lick the valleys up, And stop to feed itself at tanks; And then, prodigious, step
Around a pile of mountains, And, supercilious, peer In shanties, by the sides of roads; And then a quarry pare
To fit its sides, and crawl between, Complaining all the while In horrid, hooting stanza; Then chase itself down hill
And neigh like Boanerges; Then, punctual as a star, Stop--docile and omnipotent-- At its own stable door.

3. Noises
By Marinela Reka
The snake hissed at the prey
The blue balloon popped
The large audience clapped
The car screeched as it stopped
The cat meowed for attention
The phone crackled by mistake
I crunched on my food
What noise do you make?
4. Dr. Seuss in “Fox in Socks”
Through three cheese trees three free fleas flew.
While these fleas flew, freezy breeze blew.
Freezy breeze made these three trees freeze.
Freezy trees made these trees' cheese freeze.
That's what made these three free fleas sneeze.

2. “Grenade” by Bruno Mars
Easy come easy go, that's just how you live
Oh, take, take, take it all but you never give
Should've known you was trouble from the first kiss
Had your eyes wide open, why were they open
Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
'Cause
CHORUS
What you don't understand is
I'd catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
I'd jump in front of a train for ya
You know I'd do anything for ya
oh oh oh oh oh
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight right through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you won't do the same
No, no, no, no
Black, black, black and blue, beat me 'til I'm numb
Tell the devil I said, hey, when you get back to where
you're from
Mad woman, bad woman, that's just what you are,
yeah
You'll smile in my face then rip the brakes out my car
Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, yes, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
'Cause
CHORUS
If my body was on fire
Ooh, you'd watch me burn down in flames
You said you loved me, you're a liar
'Cause you never, ever, ever did, baby
But darling, I'd still catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
I'd jump in front of a train for ya
You know I'd do anything for ya
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight right through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you won't do the same
No, you won't do the same
You wouldn't do the same
Ooh, you never do the same
No, no, no, no

SECTION 5: POEM ANALYSIS
_______________________________________________________
The most important thing we've learned,
So far as children are concerned,
Is never, NEVER, NEVER let
Them near your television set --
Or better still, just don't install
The idiotic thing at all.
In almost every house we've been,
We've watched them gaping at the screen.
They loll and slop and lounge about,
And stare until their eyes pop out.
(Last week in someone's place we saw
A dozen eyeballs on the floor.)
They sit and stare and stare and sit
Until they're hypnotised by it,
Until they're absolutely drunk
With all that shocking ghastly junk.
Oh yes, we know it keeps them still,
They don't climb out the window sill,
They never fight or kick or punch,
They leave you free to cook the lunch
And wash the dishes in the sink --
But did you ever stop to think,
To wonder just exactly what
This does to your beloved tot?
IT ROTS THE SENSE IN THE HEAD!
IT KILLS IMAGINATION DEAD!
IT CLOGS AND CLUTTERS UP THE MIND!
IT MAKES A CHILD SO DULL AND BLIND
HE CAN NO LONGER UNDERSTAND
A FANTASY, A FAIRYLAND!
HIS BRAIN BECOMES AS SOFT AS CHEESE!
HIS POWERS OF THINKING RUST AND FREEZE!
HE CANNOT THINK -- HE ONLY SEES!

No Difference
by Shel Silverstein
Small as a peanut, Big as a giant,
We're all the same size When we turn off the light.
Rich as a sultan, Poor as a mite,
We're all worth the same When we turn off the light.
Red, black or orange,
Yellow or white, We all look the same
When we turn off the light.
So maybe the way To make everything right
Is for God to just reach out And turn off the light!

Life doesn’t frighten me By Maya Angelou
Shadows on the wall Noises down the hall.
Life doesn’t frighten me at all. Bad dogs barking loud. Big ghosts in a cloud.
Life doesn’t frighten me at all
Mean old Mother Goose. Lions on the loose.
They don’t frighten me at all. Dragons breathing flame.
On my counterpane. That doesn’t frighten me at all.
I go boo.
Make them shoo. I make fun.
Way they run. I won’t cry. So they fly. I just smile.
They go wild. Life doesn’t frighten me at all.
Tough guys fight. All alone at night.
Life doesn’t frighten me at all.
Panthers in the park. Strangers in the dark.
No, they don’t frighten me at all.
That new classroom where Boys all pull my hair (Kissy little girls
With their hair in curls) They don’t frighten me at all.
Don’t show me frogs and snakes.
And listen for my scream, If I’m afraid at all.
It’s only in my dreams. I’ve got a magic charm
That I keep up my sleeve, I can walk the ocean floor.
And never have to breathe.
Life doesn’t frighten me at all. Not at all. Not at all.
Life doesn’t frighten me at all.
