TREE FROGS

Sticky pads on feet TANKA

To live is to break
One’s heart for the sake of love;
A couple of doves,
Beaks touching on their way,
Are stepping out in the sun. TANKA

COMET
Coming from above
Over the canyons it fell
Marvelous to see
Enchanted with its beauty
Troubled by its fiery kiss HAIKU

On a frozen twig
The little bird dreams of spring
Oh! To see the sun!

tanka belong? language and its aesthetic qualities to evoke
meanings. It evokes emotion and imagery
What is poetry? through play of words.

By identifying its elements such as the structure

That’s right! Based on the activity earlier, and the theme
how did you differentiate those two poems?

Exactly! Our topic for today is about

Elements of Poetry.

The elements of poetry are the following:

 Meter-is a unit of rhythm in poetry,

the pattern of the beats.
-in certain types of poems such as
haiku, the writer counts the number
of syllables in each line.

 Stanza –a smaller unit or group of

lines or paragraph in a poem. A
particular stanza has a specific meter,
rhyme scheme, etc…

 Rhyme –a poem may or may not

have a rhyme.
-when you write poetry that has a
rhyme, it means that the last words or
sounds of the lines match with each
other in some form.

 Rhyme Scheme – it is defined as the

pattern of the rhyme.

 Theme-the central idea that the poet

wants to convey.

 Imagery- appeals to the five sense (The students will read the poem presented on
the board and starts analyzing each poem)
  Figures of Speech – using figures of
speech create special imagery.
 Let us have this example for haiku
Let us analyze the elements of poetry in each
poem.
Butterflies are cool
In the big, huge, green forest
They fly up so high
 Another example for Tanka
Alone with prayer
One never lacks company
It is in silence
When the still sound of angels
Sing in chorus with the saints
Meter-it has 5-7-5 syllables in each line (haiku)
-it has 5-7-5-7-7 syllables in each line
(tanka)
Stanza- both have one stanza
Rhyme-Both has no rhyme
Rhyme scheme-both are free verse
Theme-it is about butterflies in the forest (haiku)
- it is about the peace we find in praying
(tanka)
Imagery- the words big, huge, green forest
appeals to the sense of sight. (haiku)
-the words silence, still sound, and
sing in chorus appeals to the sense of
hearing.(tanka)
Figures of Speech-antithesis-it is compose of
two contrasting ideas.
Alone with prayer
One never lacks company
