Poetry Features/elements:

  • Rhyme: The repetition of similar sounds, usually at the end of lines. Rhyming can create a musical quality and enhance the overall aesthetic of the poem.
  • Stanza: A group of lines in a poem, separated by a space. Stanzas are similar to paragraphs in prose and often contribute to the poem’s structure and organization.
  • Imagery: Vivid and descriptive language that appeals to the senses. Poets use imagery to create mental pictures, evoke emotions, and enhance the overall sensory experience for the reader.
  • Repetition: The deliberate use of words, phrases, or lines for emphasis. Repetition can reinforce key themes and create a rhythmic effect.
  • Onomatopoeia: The use of words that imitate or resemble the sound they describe. Onomatopoeia can add aural texture to a poem.
  • Free Verse: Poetry that does not follow a strict meter or rhyme scheme. Free verse allows for greater flexibility in expression and often focuses on the natural cadence of everyday speech.
