Nowadays, our there are many dangers and challenges around us especially in the news where most of the topics seems to be about tragedies, disasters and controversies. Not just in newspapers, but in media vehicles such as the internet, mobile phones, TV and radio. With all these happening around us, we can read joyful poems to help bring back the goodness in our lives.
Poems are made up of words used to express ideas or emotions conveyed through usage of imagery, sound patterns, and metaphors. These are composed in verses rather than in prose. Elements such as lines and stanzas, rhythm, voice, form, figure of speech, sound and so on, adds to the beauty of these literary works.
One element is the form, which can be flexible such as in free verses, where there is almost no rhythm and rhyme and these are becoming less structured over the generations. Still, it is easy to distinguished it from a prose through its form because it retains its basic structure which can easily be found in many free verses. Many classic styles does not conform to these standards just to have better emphasis for effect.
It has three primary types, which are narrative, descriptive, and lyric poems, with other subtypes such as haiku, ballads, limericks, free verse, sonnets, epics, odes, and many more. Lines of word that are grouped together are known as stanzas and they are separated by a space or an empty line, which is similar to a paragraph in a story or any written composition. Though stanzas are usually made of the same amount of lines, it is not necessary to have stanzas.
Sound in poetry can be very complex since it uses a variety of ways and effects. Rhyme, alliteration, assonance, onomatopoeia, euphony, repetition, refrain, and consonance are some example of sound play. Rhymes are usually the most common among them in which the end word of each line sounds the same or just similar.
Rhythm is an oral pattern that is created when the poet chooses where the stresses on each phrase is placed. Metric is the pattern of these stresses in each line that is best displayed when the work is read aloud and it will not sound steady. It has different tones due to the rise and fall of the voice, which is similar to singing and most people do this unconsciously.
Figurative language is how your choose your words to make a comparison between different things, senses, and even emotions by using the figures of speech. Some of these are metaphor, hyperbole, personification, allegory, irony, and symbolism. On the other hand, imagery is how words are used to convey sensory experiences in vivid detail to create a concrete mental image of the subject.
These details include experiences in the sense of touch, smell, taste, sound, and sight that is beyond any normal description. A voice refers to the presentation of the author of his work to the audience when speaking, which is either third or first person. Most of the poems has the writer as the one speaking, yet there are many times that the character and the author are not the same person.
In literary terms, the tone is referring to how the author feels on that certain subject, which will be reflected on the work. It may indicate feelings such as sadness, joy, confusion, anger, amusement and many others. The tone of joyful poems may evoke a happy, hopeful and loving feelings.
