Poetry Terms

1. Poetry:
   - the art of writing poems, making the lines flow and words that are easy to understand by readers.

Here's an example of Poetry:

Poetry's like the parent of our poems we write every day. It's the structure of poems that we must follow, it force us to write poems according to different rules there are for poems. When writing poems we have to be careful of the poetry, for it require us to have the right word choice and a clear content to who our reader is going to be.

Sentence: The teacher always ask us when doing poems pay close attention to the poetry of other poems you read or see. 

2. Imagery:
  - formation of the images that you think in your head, see on the internet or on television

Example picture: 

Why do we need imagery? Imagery are like pieces of unfinished pictures that float in the middle of nowhere inside your head. Imagery tells you what to piece for the images to look understanding, realistic. The most important part is that it have to make sense to you and everybody. Imagery helps you know what the picture looks like and you can know what elements make up that picture.
Sentence: If you're so bad in art, then I must tell you that your imagery skills are no good at all.

3. Metaphor: a word that's not directly refer to an object or subject that we're talking about, also being said as one of the figures of speech
Sentence: Over these six days the temperature keeps rising up, it feels like the whole world's melting.

Example Picture:

Metaphor's commonly use by a lot of students who just started to learn English. It's important because without it we can't compare two objects easily, it's also exaggerated. This fact is for people who loves to create fantasies, what I'm trying to say is that metaphor is a basic figure of speech. If you can use metaphor successfully you could move on to work with other figures of speech. 

4. Simile: a figure of speech that compares two objects with the word like. 

Sentence: Wannabe is so sweaty today that he looks like an elephant just coming out of the shower. 

Simile's a challenging step for figure of speech, it helps us to practice forming sentences with the word like. Simile works your brain harder, pushes you into challenging situations where you have to follow instructions really carefully. 

5. Speaker: the person who is in charge of speaking or is speaking right now. 

Sentence: When the speaker's doing a performance, don't interrupt he/she. 

Example Picture: 

Speakers are very important because it is they who have the guts to go up and provide, presents information to people. Without the speaker how could we know the news, what the government wants to tell us. Speaker are messenger, although it's not being spread on the internet it's still very important. Hearing a speaker we can also learn the pronunciation of words we have learnt, sometimes it could remind us old words that we have known but forgotten. Helps to improve your listening skills. 

6. Lines: a straight mark along an object. 

Sentence: For order to come when there's war and people are evacuating, they have to form lines and go in order. 

Example Picture: 

Lines in our everyday life helps us to write straight, lines make things neat and pretty. They connect dots in math. Without them we would now be writing like walking on stairs. 

7. Tone: the  pitch of your voice when you're speaking

Sentence: Everyone have tone, without it makes them sound like robot. 

Example Picture: 

Tone concludes about the mood of your voice, whether your happy or not. In other words it relates to your expressions, when you're happy you use a good tone, when you're furious your tone sounds horrible. When reading poetry tone makes the poetry beautiful, when it's being read by a flat tone what would you feel? Nothing, no beauty, no meaning in the words you're hearing. To me tone makes everything smooths, flat tone makes no feeling inside you. 

8. Symbol: pictures, marks that use to represent something. 

Sentence: When document is being correct, teachers sometimes use symbol to tell you instructions on how to edit the work. 

Why do we need symbol? Symbol helps those who don't study much to know what people are talking about. Symbol is an easy way to communicate because when people look at pictures they get the idea of the topic the picture is trying to say to others. For example like this symbol up here, it indicates that this place have nuclear events going on, we could see this on nuclear powerplants, when there're nuclear in an area the government use this to keep out all the citizens. 

9.Couplet: poems which have lines that are the same length, rhyme and verse. 

Example: 

-Violets are blue

I love you too. 

Couplet sometimes help to make our poems more fun and readers are eager to read it, stops from being so boring throughout the work. Couplet challenges us to find words that matches each other to form a rhyming sentence.

10. Interpretation: when you look at somebody's work, reflect on it, giving comments on the work. 

Example: 

Interpretation are very essential, we need them. In this process peers or editors give us comments or advices. These may help us to improve our work, you as the editor can also get some ideas on good structure, good sentences. Helps us to learn from our peers also, not just by giving ideas and comments. 

11. Personification: In literature, when we described an object we made it seems like human. 

Example Sentence: 

- The wind blows so hard that the trees sway like hula dancers in Hawaii. 

Personification sometimes if you are willing to use it, you could find that it sounds very fun.
