I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
TYPES OF
POETRY

"I now delight
In spite
Of the might
And the right
Of classic tradition,
In writing
And reciting
Straight ahead,
Without let or omission,
In any little time

That runs in my head;
Because, I’ve said,
My rhymes no longer shall stand arrayed
Like Prussian soldiers on parade
That march,
Stiff as starch,
Foot to foot,
Boot to boot,
Blade to blade"

The Song of Wandering Aengus
BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS
I went out to the hazel wood,
Because a fire was in my head,
And cut and peeled a hazel wand,
And hooked a berry to a thread;
And when white moths were on the wing,
And moth-like stars were flickering out,
I dropped the berry in a stream
And caught a little silver trout…
Narrative Poem
A poem that tells the sequence of events of a

story; “The Song of Wandering Aengus” is a
narrative poem.
Shall I Compare Thee to a Summers’ Day
by William Shakespeare
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
Sonnet
A very structured fourteen-line poem that follows
a specific rhyme structure and rhythm. The two
most common sonnets are the Italian sonnet and
the English sonnet. William Shakespeare wrote
many English sonnets, which are also referred to
as Shakespearean sonnets.

How I wonder what you are A
Up above the world so high. B

•
Rhyme Scheme
Rhythm
• It is a movement with uniform recurrence of a

beat or accent." In its crudest form rhythm has a
beat with little or no meaning.
• refers to the use of long and short stresses, or
stressed and unstressed, within the writing.
Iamb
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;
Iamb
the most common of all metrical feet. An iamb is a

set of two syllables, the first of which is unstressed
or short, and the second of which is stressed or long.
If a line consists of iambs, it is “iambic.”
Alliteration
The repetition of the initial letter or sound in two

or more words in a line.
To the lay-person, these are called “tongue-
twisters”.
•Example: How much dew would a dewdrop
drop if a dewdrop did drop dew?
Repetition
Using the same key word or phrase throughout a

poem. This should be fairly self-explanatory,
but . . . at risk of sounding like a broken record . . .
FIGURATIVE
LANGUAGE
He is as funny as a barrel of monkeys.
Her long hair was a flowing golden river.
My alarm clock yells at me to get out of bed every morning.
Impact sounds—boom, crash, whack, thump, bang.
This bag weighs a ton.

SIMILE
A direct, explicit comparison of one thing to another in which the words like or as are used.
METAPHOR
a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable.
PERSONIFICATION
The strategy of giving animate qualities to abstract concepts, or inanimate things.
ONOMATOPOEIA
The attempt to echo or imitate sounds with words.
HYPERBOLE
An exaggeration

Group 2 – “Lengua Para Diablo” (The
Devil Ate my Words)
