POETRY
WHAT IS POETRY?
Poetry (ilmu
tentang puisi) is a type
of literature based on the interplay of words and rhythm. In poetry, words are strung together to
form sounds, images, and ideas that might be too complex or abstract to
describe directly.
Poems (puisi) can help you say, help you show how
you're feeling, but they can also introduce you to feelings, ways of being in
the world, people, very much unlike you, maybe even people from long, long ago
One of the characteristics
of poetry is that it is
a unique language that
combines and uses words to convey meaning and communicate ideas, feelings,
sounds, gestures, signs, and symbols.
WHAT IS STRUCTURE IN A POEM?
- 1. . Line length. (ukuran
baris)
Line length shows the reader how it should be read. Short lines are usually read faster, with more emotion. - 2.
Stanzas (bait).
Stanzas, the groups of lines, are like paragraph in prose. ...
Some common techniques in
writing a poem:
- 1. Rhymes (same sound at the end of lines)
Eg. I
watched as the butterfly (a)
Fluttered up to the sky (a)
I don't wanna live (a)
I'd rather die (b)
Nothing to forgive (a)
I wanna fly (b)
- 2. Metaphor (to compare one thing which is equal to another)
Eg. The
snow is a white blanket.
- 3. Simile (comparison using the word ‘like’ or
‘as’)
Eg. The
surface of water is as smooth as glass.
- 4. Personification (Objects are given human
characteristics)
Eg. The
wind is whispering to my ear.

Grammar notes:
· Sometimes, in predictions, the reporting verb is in the future and the other clause is in the simple present. (E.g., My mother will say that she is too sick to go.)
· Use said without a direct object. (E.g., Jim said that he was coming.)
· Use told with a direct object. (E.g., The teacher told me to come early.)· In reporting imperatives (commands), remember to use the correct negative infinitive form (not + infinitive). (E.g., Rosita told me not to eat the cake before dinner.)
