Poems

Stanzas- groups of words in a poem

Figurative language- a phrase that says something but doesn’t really show its real meaning.

Ex: The sun was beating me down. = The sun was so hot, I was getting tired

In this sentence the sun doesn’t actually beat you down.

Poems don’t always have to rhyme

Rhyme pattern is the pattern of rhymes

Ex: Bored at home. A

With nothing to say. B

I hear the same stories every day. B

Lost in time, ‘cause I’m sleeping. C

And also when I’m reading. C

Each two lines that rhyme get the same letter.
