Elements of Poetry
What are poetic elements?
Poetic Elements
#1
Poetic elements are the instruments used to create a poem.
Why is poetry so confusing?
Because Poetry is infused with so much meaning
Poetry is meant to be analyzed!
How do we analyze poetry?
- Look at poetic devices such as:
- rhythm
- meter
- structure
- tone
- sound
- syntax
Keep in mind that while we discuss these elements separately, they are always acting at the same time in a story.

A stanza is....
Stanza
- basically the poetic equivalent of a prose paragraph
- They are a series of lines that are grouped together and separated from other groups of lines or stanzas by a skipped line.
- 2 lines are called a couplet
- 3 lines are called a tercet
- Stanzas organize thoughts in a poem
Meter is the...
Meter
- The number of syllables in a line of poetry
- A pattern of emphasis on those syllables
- These components create the rhythmic structure of a verse or lines in verse
Rhythm is...
Rhthym
- the beat and pace of a poem
- is created by the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in a line or verse
- Rhythm can help to strengthen the meaning of words and ideas in a poem
Structure is...
Structure
- The way the poet has organised the poem on the page eg number of stanzas, lines per stanza, breaks in between lines and stanzas
- Some poems adopt specific forms eg. sonnets or narrative poems.
Rhyme Scheme....
Rhyme Scheme
- Is the ordered pattern of rhymes at the ends of the lines
- There are different types of rhymes such as: internal rhymes, slant rhymes, eye rhymes, identical rhymes, and more.
- Rhyme scheme's can establish a rhythm, and place emphasis on specific words

Tone
Mood
Tone vs. Mood
Tone
- How the author feels towards the subject.
- You will know what the author's tone is implying by the words they use.
- Feeling or the atmosphere that the author has set in their story
- Tone = Them (the author)
Mood
- Is the vibe that a larger chunk of text gives you
- Is what the author makes you feel when you read their writings.
- Depends on what the reader feels
- Is usually created at the beginning of the story, so the reader can expect what will happen later on
- Mood = Me (what you feel about the text)
Syntax...
Syntax
- Syntax refers to word order, but word order creates certain sounds, images, and attitudes
- Is the way a writer chooses words, arranges them in sentences, lines, or linebreaks
- Includes the impact of punctuation
- Sound has everything to do with syntax
