Mental Library: Poetry: Introduction to Poetry

Hello, Poets!

Today, we are going to start a new series. We are going to talk about poetry. After all, it is a type of literature, even though it is not my favorite type of literature.

Before we can go any further, we have to learn the basic structure of a poem.

Verse- One line of poetry

Hot Cross Buns

Stanza- A group of verses

Now, on to rhyming.

There are two types of rhymes: Internal and external.

External rhymes are easier to understand because they always rhyme at the end of the verse.

Example:

I had a dog.

He sat on a log.

The last word of each verse rhymes.

Internal rhymes rhyme on the inside of a poem.

Example: 

My dog was on a log.

A word in the verse rhymes with the end word.

Next month, we will learn about rhyming patterns. Which type of rhyming do you like better: internal or external?

Post in the comments!
