ACTIVITY 01: Determine the structure applied in the
poems below.
My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips’ red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.

I have seen roses damask’d, red and white,

But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.

I love to hear her speak, yet well I know

That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:

And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare

As any she belied with false compare.

Elements of Poetry: Structure of Poetry

TOPIC

Having to learn more about what really makes poetry so diverse

and dynamic is such an amazing time for someone like me who
would, occasionally, write some poems. It's fascinating,
somehow, to learn about more kinds of poems when you've been
used to writing in one particular you familiarize with. I
didn't knew then just how much more faces of poetry there is,
it's amazing! Like the rhyming scheme and patterns. As I went
to understand it, it's fascinating to see how it works. With
that use of capital letters in an alternating pattern, I swear
I could almost instantly determine the rhyming scheme of any
poem now. The amount of lines in a stanza and what they're
called, the different kinds of sonet, the sound devices were
also new to me, and upon learning them I have this inevitable,
I guess you could say, urge to try and write some poems in
accordance to their rules and whatnot. Haiku I've heard even
before, have even written some, byt limerick and elegy were
both unfamiliar to me, and knowing more about them beyond their
classification in a particular category is also like having
another weapon of creativeness under your belt. It's odd, but
that's how it feels like. With the overarching lesson of the
module, I came to have it on myself an easier view to the
elements of poetry and its structure; it is through here that
I've been able to encapsulate the scope of the topic in a
comprehensible summary of it all. Which is fun, because
obviously poetry is such a beautiful subject, and it produces
one of the most beautiful pieces of art among beautiful names
of artistry. With that, I'm glad to have something to learn
upon visiting this module, and learning what it really is that
makes poetry it is.

Imagery, Diction, and Figures of Speech

Activity 01: Directions: Take a very careful look at the

picture below. Write a brief paragraph of the place using
imagery, diction, and figures of speech. You may incorporate
an experience related to the location to make your literary
description more vivid.

It was yet another day of summertime marvel. In this farm,

everything speaks of home and familiarity, that encapsulating
force of warmth and bliss and joy embedded in every grains of
soil, to every blades of grass, every leaves of trees, every
woods that holds a house together... The wind, dancing from the
North, carries an aroma of rural purity and rare cleanness. They
are carriages accommodating a thousand words from every families,
a thousand ballads from every birds that sings, a thousand breeze
brought by the grass, and a thousand more from the orchestra of
the nature and her living children. Among the rolling hills of
evergreen, under the blanket of a poppy-colored afternoon sky of
beautifully burning clouds, are the stairs of soil holding each
planted rice, layers and layers of green and brown, tall and high,
and yet still not high enough to reach the sky. The shack
watching over the lands shelters love and golden memories inside
its four side of wooden walls, under its metal roof. Like the
tree just behind it, it stood with a desolate knowingness like an
old woman staring at a scenery, eating biscuits and drinking tea.
Though separated from its neighbors, it is built for a
significant purpose. Just like the lands that surrounds it, it
lives within the nature, in the very same way the nature lives
within every life living above and beneath it.

Imagery, Diction, and Figures of Speech

TOPIC

Another great time learning about all of these things! Although

they're something I'm already familiar with, interacting with
them and more through this module's lessons is something that
has really been educational and significant for me as both a
student and an aspiring novelist. With that being said, one of
the things I've learned under the scope lf imagery, diction,
and figures of speech, is that they're all fundamentally
connected. The way I see it now, they are one of the major
groups of foundations that makes a text better in creativity,
quality, and content. Imagery is there to bring a reader to the
world of whatever she/he is reading through his/her eyes, nose,
skin, tongue, and ears; it's like taking a part of someone to
somewhere so that they can fully and better experience what the
text is trying to express. Meanwhile, diction is there to play
with the words, and make them as creative and as effective as
they can be when it comes to being read, comprehended, and
understood. For me, that's another good way to make someone so
immerse in the text that they're forgetting it's not real.
Words are magical, for obvious reasons, and they are beyond
once they have been mastered, especially in the field of
literature. Lastly, there's tge different kinds of figures of
speech that makes everything better. Another device that jusy
elevates the text in another level of creativity and magic.
