  13. Cool Things to Find in Poetry • Symbolism • Idiom • Hyperbole • Imagery • Figurative Language like… • Metaphor • Simile • Personification • Alliteration • Onomatopoeia • Rhythm • Rhyme • Stanza

  14. Symbolism • Using an object to represent something else. • Examples: • Red rose = love • Horseshoes = good luck • Winter = old age

  15. Idioms • Commonly used expression that means something different than what it appears to mean. • Example: • Put your money where your mouth is.

  16. Hyperbole • Big exaggeration used to make a point • Usually funny • Example: • Piles of garbage that reached up to the sky. “Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take the Garbage Out.” by Shel Silverstein

  17. Imagery • The use of words to illustrate the poem vividly in the reader’s mind. • Example: • Crumbling towers • Toppled buildings As the last seconds ticked down, the fans gripped their chilled drinks in anticipation. After the clock hit zero, the yellow and black suits stormed the green beaten field. They cried in excitement and exhaustion while they hugged teammates. From the sky red, blue, and white streamers danced down through the gentle smoke from the fireworks. The head coach was showered with freezing cold Gatorade that soaked every inch of his body and ran into his mouth and greeted him with sweetness. The look on his face was proud as he was clearly in disbelief that this happened to him-yes, he won the Superbowl.

  18. Figurative Language - Metaphor • Comparing two things by using one kind of object for the comparison. • Does NOT use the words “like” or “as” I AM A SWORD By: Alex I am a sword,Sharper than a tongueNobody can defeat me,Because I am a sword,I can not be hurt by what people sayAbout me, I will not show my angerAgainstSomeone else.

  19. Figurative Language - Similes • Compares 2 things that are NOT alike. • Uses “like” or “as” to compare. • Examples: • The sky was as blue as a millionaire’s swimming pool. • As Sad As...I'm as sad as an odd sockwith no one to wear itas sad as a birthdaywith no one to share itas sad as a teddywith no one to care for itas sad as a fireworkwith no one to light itas sad as a strawberrywith no one to bite itas sad as a grey daywith no sun to lighten itas sad as a bonfirewith no one to poke itas sad as a puppywith no one to stroke itas sad as a promisewhen somebody broke it.

  20. Figurative Language – Personification • Happens when you give something human qualities. • Example: • The stuffed bears smiled as the little girl hugged him close. • The old house groaned in the storm. VELVET By: Rachael Velvet remembershow it wrapped aroundme.Keeping me warmon a snowy day.Velvet remembershow it laid softly on my bed.Velvet tells me notto forgetit.

  21. Alliteration • The repetition of initial consonant sounds in two or more words that are next to each other. • Bertha Bartholomew blew big, blue bubbles. • Hattie Henderson hated happy healthy hippos.

  22. Onomatopoeia • A word that makes the sound of the action it describes. • Examples: • Buzz • Hiss • Roar • Woof The rusty spigotsputters,uttersa splutter,spatters a smattering of drops,gashes wider;slash,splatters,scatters,spurts,finally stops sputteringand plash!gushes rushes splashesclear water dashes.by Eve Merriam Free template from www.brainybetty.com

  23. Rhythm • The basic beat in a line of poetry. • Think about songs….poetry is just like a song with the same rhythm, but without the music.

  24. Food Fight By Kenn Nesbitt Rhyme • The repetition of sounds at the ends of words. We’d never seen the teachersin a state of such distress.The principal was yellingthat the lunchroom was a mess. It started off so innocentwhen someone threw a bun,but all the other kids decidedthey should join the fun. It instantly turned intoan enormous lunchroom feud,as students started hurlingall their halfway-eaten food. A glob went whizzing through the air,impacting on the wall.Another chunk went sailing outthe doorway to the hall. The food was splattered everywhere—the ceilings, walls, and doors.A sloppy, gloppy mess was onthe tables and the floors. And so our good custodianran out to grab his mop.It took him half the afternoonto clean up all the slop. The teachers even used some wordswe’re not supposed to mention.And that’s how all the kids and teacherswound up in detention.

  25. Homework, I Love You By Kenn Nesbitt Stanza • A group of lines of poetry • Usually same length and pattern • Also called a verse Homework, I love you. I think that you’re great.It’s wonderful fun when you keep me up late.I think you’re the best when I’m totally stressed,preparing and cramming all night for a test. Homework, I love you. What more can I say?I love to do hundreds of problems each day.You boggle my mind and you make me go blind,but still I’m ecstatic that you were assigned. Homework, I love you. I tell you, it’s true.There’s nothing more fun or exciting to do.You’re never a chore, for it’s you I adore.I wish that our teacher would hand you out more. Homework, I love you. You thrill me inside.I’m filled with emotions. I’m fit to be tied.I cannot complain when you frazzle my brain.Of course, that’s because I’m completely insane.

  26. Great Poets • Shel Silverstein • Jack Prelutsky • Bruce Lansky • Kenn Nesbitt • Langston Hughes • Nikki Grimes • Robert Lewis Stevenson

  27. Keep a Poem in Your Pocket By: Beatrice Schenkde Regniers Keep a poem in your pocketand a picture in your headand you'll never feel lonelyat night when you're in bed.
