What is Poetry?

Poetry is a piece of writing in which the words are chosen from their beauty and sound and carefully
arranged, often in short lines.

Elements of Poetry

1. Line- is a unit of language into which a poem is divided.

2. Stanza- is used to describe the main building block of a poem. It is a unit of poetry composed of
lines that relate to a similar thought or topic like a paragraph in prose or a verse in a song.
3. Rhythm- it can be described as the beat and pace of a poem. The best method of understanding this
is to read the poem aloud and understand the stressed and unstressed syllables.
4. Meter- it is a unit of rhythm in poetry, the pattern of the beats. It is also called a foot.
5. Rhyme- it is the repetition of identical or similar concluding syllables in different words.
6. Rhyme Scheme- the pattern of rhyme at the end of each line is called the rhyme scheme.
7. Theme- it is the underlying message that the writer or artist wants to convey.
8. Mood- refers to the atmosphere that is prevalent in the poem. This is the feeling evoked from the
reader while reading the poem.
9. Tone- it is the poet’s attitude toward the poem’s speaker, reader, and subject matter, as interpreted
by the reader. This is also the writer’s feelings on the subject he/she is writing.

Engagement Activity/Application:

Students will read the poem entitled “My Beloved Land” by Trinidad Tarrosa-Subido.

My Beloved Land
By: Trinidad Tarrosa-Subido

Beloved Land, let me explain to thee

Why thought of nearing death provokes a pain:
'Tis not that I again shall never see
These orient isles of kindly sun and rain;

Not that the visionary spirit must

Forego the wonders she had fondly schemed;
Not that the flesh must soon succumb to dust,
With Love's avowals only half redeemed.

O my beloved Land, whose air I breathe,

Whose bounty is my daily sustenance,
How sad to leave with nothing to bequeath,
Thy weal to serve, thy glory to enhance;

How shameful, finally, to dare to rest

My thankless dust upon thy noble breast!
