POETRY
Joan T. Suarez
What is POETRY….
Poetry is a patterned form of verbal or written expression of ideas in concentrated, imaginative, and rhythmical terms that often contain the elements of sense, sound, and structure. It is considered the oldest literary form.
Poetry has implied meaning/s which is/are evoked in the carefully selected words. It is often considered as the most difficult and most sophisticated of all literally genres. One of its distinct characteristics is that it is briefly written but it suggests many connotation. As compared to other literally forms, it is more musical.
Elements of Poetry
A.Sense of the Poem
1.Denotation vs. Connotation
DENOTATION - is the dictionary meaning of the word while CONNOTATION is the suggested or implied meaning/s associated with the word beyond its dictionary definition.
2.
IMAGERY - is the use of sensory details
that appeal to one or more of the five senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. These are otherwise known as “senses of mind.”
3.
FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE is a language
used for descriptive effect in order to convey ideas or emotions which are not literally true but expresses some truth beyond the literal level.
FIGURES OF SPEECH
Are specific devices or a kind of figurative language that uses words, phrases, and sentences in a nonliteral definition but, rather, gives meanings in abstractions
Types of Figures of
Speech
a.
Allusion is a reference in a work of literature to a character, a place, or a situation from history, literature, the Bible, mythology, scientific event, character, or place.
I imagine myself thus, my fearless navigator, as you scribe:
Antonio Pigafetta annotating the progress of our journey inside the Trinidad, the sturdy galleon of our newfangled love.
-Ralph Semino Galan, “You Name”
b. ANTHESIS is a display of words or ideas. It is virtually sea but dry like a heart Thats forgotten compassion
