  1. Poetry Styles

  2. Rhyming Couplet - This poetry style is 2 lines long. Each pair of lines rhymes. I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree.

  3. This is a Japanese poetry style. It has 3 lines and no rhyme. The lines are measured by syllable: First – 5 syllables Second – 7 syllables Third – 5 syllables Haiku - Pond, there, still and oldA frog has jumped from the shoreThe splash can be heard

  4. This poetry style is made of 4 lines in each stanza (verse). Common rhyme patterns are: ABAB, ABBA, ABCB, AABB. Quatrain - High in the bright blue skyA bird soared silently on the breezeI saw him as he flew byAnd wondered how he flew with such ease.

  5. This poetry style comes from Ireland. They are 5 lines long and have a specific rhyme and rhythm. The rhyme pattern is always AABBA. The 3rd & 4th lines are always shorter than the others. Limericks are usually funny. Limerick - There once was a girl from Shahama.Whose school days had far too much drama.She talked to her mumWho said, “Just keep shtum.No drama if you listen to your mama.”

  6. This poetry style has no set rules Free Verse– Your house is Falling down Around Your Feet, And you got Nought To eat, Don't worry Be happy.Your fish Have drowned You wear A frown, You search But you don't Own a pound, Don't worry Be happy.

  7. This poetry style is an Arabic form of free verse. Nabati - When she emerges, the sun disappears, And the moonlight shyly dims. People risk their lives, in the face of such beauty, Which is precisely what she expects. She brings peace to my heart, The only balm for my open wounds. Her love has driven me insane, When love is such a divine gift. She lightly increased her gait, As breezes blew from the north. Her hair cascaded down her shoulders, Enticing, yet coy and bashful. Her jewelled eyes mystical, Reflecting serene colours of the sea. She was so elegant, merely turning her neck, Like an unexpected drizzle from the clouds. I saw rivers running along her eyelids, And tears within them, like sailing ships.

  8. This poetry style has 14 lines with a specific rhyme pattern: ABAB CDCD EFEF GG. Shakespeare is the most famous sonnet writer. Sonnet - He turned the fourteenth glass and said, “Begin.”and I had fourteen minutes left to live;and I had fourteen unrepented sins,and fourteen people whom I would forgive, and fourteen unread books upon my shelf,and fourteen loves I knew I’d loved in vain,and fourteen dreams I’d kept within myself(the fourteen I’d most wanted to explain.) But fourteen minutes quickly passed away.I filled my pen with fourteen drops of ink-the fourteenth glass had offered one delay;and fourteen final grains retained the brink. This sonnet flowed like fourteen final breaths-the fourteenth line, the fourteenth grain, then death.

  9. This style is a poem that tells a story, often used in songs because of the rhyme. It is very long (20 lines or more). Ballad - From a town know as Wheeling, West Virginia Rode a boy with a six-gun in his hand And his daring life of crime Made him a legend in his time East and west of the Rio Grande. Well, he started with a bank in Colorado In the pocket of his vest, a Colt he hid And his age and his size Took the teller by surprise And the word spread of Billy the Kid Well, he never traveled heavy Yes, he always rode alone And he soon put many older guns to shame And he never had a sweetheart And he never had a home But the cowboy and the rancher knew his name Well, he robbed his way from Utah to Oklahoma And the law just could not seem to track him down And it served his legend well For the folks, they’d love to tell ‘Bout when Billy the Kid came to town Well, one cold day a posse captured Billy And the judge said, “String ‘im up for what he did!” And the cowboys and their kin Like the sea came pourin’ in To watch the hangin’ of Billy the Kid Well, he never traveled heavy Yes, he always rode alone And he soon put many older guns to shame And he never had a sweetheart But he finally found a home Underneath that boothill grave that bears his name From a town known as Oyster Bay, Long Island Rode a boy with a six-pack in his hand And his daring life of crime Made him a legend in his time East and west of the Rio Grande
