Rebus Poetry • Uses pictures, pictograms, and symbols to create a riddle or a poem.
Do you carrot all for me?My heart beets for you, Our love is as soft as a squash, But as strong as an onion With your turnip nose For you are a peach,With your radish hair, And your turnip nose, You are the apple of my eye,If we cantaloupe,Lettuce marry;For I know we would make a happy pear.

Poetry Elements • Sound is used in poetry to add imagery and evoke the readers sense preceptors, especially when read aloud. This key element is also what makes poetry unique in regards to other forms of writing. The following types of sound effects are used: • Alliteration- repetition of the same first letter or sound in a group of words (Peter Pettigrew) • Assonance-repetition of vowel sounds within words (Sci-Fi) • Onomatopoeia- words that sound like what they describe (Meow; Croak) • Rhyme-repetition of sound at the end of words or lines • Rhythmgives poetry a musical quality with the use of stressed or unstressed syllables • Stanzas- an arrangement of lines that form units within a poem (can be called couplets, quatrains, etc.)
POETRY ELEMENTS • Figurative language is used to add greater depth to the meaning of words and is used to create imagery with the use of comparisons. There are three types, • Metaphor- direct comparison of dissimilar things that is meant to show equality between them. For example, My savior, my redeemer was the snow that fell right before the morning commute. • Simile- comparison that uses ‘like’ or ‘as’‘. For example,' I love you like a long song, (baby)’ • Personification- a comparison that gives human qualities to objects, animals or ideas. For example, “The butter cream cake taunted me.”
Acrostic • simple poems in which each the first letter of each line forms a word or phrase (vertically). An acrostic poem can describe the subject or even tell a brief story about it.
Free Verse The poet creates the line breaks and stanzas where he wants them. Rhyming usually is not present. Identity Julio NoboaPolanco Let them be as flowers, always watered, fed, guarded, admired, but harnessed to a pot of dirt. I’d rather be a tall, ugly weed, clinging on cliffs, like an eagle, wind-wavering above high, jagged rocks.

Cummings Free Verse Fog by Carl Sandburg The fog comes on little cat feet. It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on.
Free Verse • Like Lily Like Wilson I’m writing the poem that will change the world, And it’s Lily Wilson at my office door. Lily Wilson, the recovering like addict, The worst I’ve ever seen. So, like, bad, that the entire eighth grade Started calling her Like Lily Like Wilson Like. Until I declared my classroom a like-free zone, And she could not speak for days. When she finally did, it was to say, Mr. Mali, this is…so hard Now I have to think before I …say anthing. Imagine that Lily. It’s for your own good. Even if you don’t like… it. I’m writing the poem that will change the world And it’s Lily Wilson at my classroom door. Lilly is writing a research paper About how homosexuals shouldn’t be allowed to adopt children I’m writing a poem that will change the world And it’s Like Lily Like Wilson at my office door. She’s having trouble finding souces, Which is to say, ones that back her up. They all argue in favor of what I thought I was against. And it took four years of college, Three years of graduate school, And every incidental teaching experience I ever had to let out only Well, that’s a really interesting problem, Lilly. But what do you propose to do about it? That’s what I want to know. And the eighth grade mind is a beautiful thing; Like a new-born baby’s face, you can often see it Change before your very eyes. I can’t believe I’m saying this Mr. Mali, But I think I’d like to switch sides. And I want to tell her to do more than just believe it, But to enjoy it! That changing your mind is one of the best ways Of finding out whether or not you still have one. Or even that minds are like parachtues, That it doesn’t matter what you pack Them with so long as they open At the right time. O God, Lily, I want to say, You make me feel like a teacher, And who could ask to feel more than that? I want to say all of this but manage only, Lilly I am like so impressed with you! So finally I taught somebody something, Namely, how to change her mind. And learned in the prcess that if I ever change the world, It’s going to be an eighth grader at a time.
