Study Notes

Poems are types of writing that use figurative language in different lines, which can have rhythm, rhyming, and convey feelings.
Figurative language conveys an idea or impression rather than exact facts, e.g., "the dog talks" instead of "the dog barks."

There are many different types of poetry, including rhyming poems, personification poems, and acrostic poems.

Rhyming poems have words that rhyme, and there are three types: couplets, triplets, and quatrain poems.
Couplets are short and silly rhyming poems with two lines, where the last words rhyme.
Triplets are rhyming poems with three lines, where the last word in each line rhymes (AAA pattern) or the last word in only the first and third lines rhyme (ABA pattern).
Quatrain poems are special poems with four lines that rhyme, with two types: AABB pattern and ABAB pattern.

Acrostic poems use the letters of a word to create words or phrases describing the chosen word.
Example: Winter Acrostic Poem, where each letter in the word W-I-N-T-E-R makes a new word or phrase, all describing the season winter.
