Forms of Poetry

2/7/2012

 

Forms of Poetry:

1. Concrete Poems: This type of poem uses line length to form a picture of an object/subject.

2. Haiku Poems: This type of poem is Japanese and consists of only 3 lines.  The poem follows a pattern...
       -Line 1: 5 syllables
       -Line 2: 7 syllables
       -Line 3: 5 syllables

Haiku poems are usually about nature, though they can be written about any subject.  Because of the syllables limitations, haiku is generally written in fragments.

3. Diamante Poems: This type of poem uses line length to form a diamond shape.  It is generally written to compare/contrast two related topics.
       -Line 1: Topic #1
       -Line 2: 2 adjectives about Topic #1
       -Line 3: 3 -ing words about Topic #1
       -Line 4: 4 nouns or a short phrase linking your two topics.
       -Line 5: 3 -ing words about Topic #2
       -Line 6: 2 adjectives about Topic #2
       -Line 7: Topic #2
