Poetic Structure

Hello there,

This post will discuss how the structure of poetry affects how the words of the poem are arranged, and how the type and form of poetry influences the poet's work. There are many types and ways to write poems. Types of poems can vary according to the choice of the poet and according to how they want the structure of their poem to be.  The differences between these types of poems can depend on the number of verses, the number of syllables in a line, and the rhythmic and rhyming patterns within the poem. Each poem contains many elements, techniques, methods, and patterns in the way of writing.

Above is a video presenting 10 Poetic Devices. In the video, teachers educate the viewers about 10 different types of poetic devices and structures used in writing. The video explains the unique and individual structures and characteristics of the different types of poetic structures. The teachers in the video concisely explain and give examples of using alliteration, onomatopoeia, repetition, rhyme as well as free verse, rhythm, simile, metaphor, metonymy, personification, and imagery. Towards the end of the video they also briefly show ways in which these poetic devices can be used together to be creative. Please watch the video to learn more about the poetic devices in a fun and exciting way!
