Symbol

Definition: a representation of something else.

Example: The Apple Company logo symbolizes the apple that fell on Newton's head which lead to the discovery of gravity. Also it represents taking a "byte" out of the apple of knowledge.

Significance: Symbolism in poetry is important because it communicates the meaning of the words. Metaphors and similes are symbols, and they make the poem more thoughtful.This makes the poem more 3-D and interesting to read.

Couplet

Definition: A pair of lines in a poem with rhyming end words.

Example: Good night! Good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow;

That I shall say goodnight till it be morrow

~Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare

Significance: Couplets are a simple rhyme scheme that still counts as poetry. Rhyme and idea are very close in the two lines.

Stanza

Definition: a group of lines in a unit of a poem.

Example: I think it was raining from my basement room;

But basements make for faraway ears;

 And so many things can sound like rain.

I still think it was rain.
~Things Not Seen by Andrew Clements

Significance: Stanzas seperate ideas in a poem, it is what makes poems poetry instead of paragraphs of writing. Stanzas are like paragraphs in poetry.

Poetry

Definition: an art form which has rhythm in verses and expression shown through litereary work.

Example:

Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destrucion ice

Is also great

And will suffice.

~Robert Frost

Significance: Poetry is an unique way to express yourself and your imagination. You will study poetry many times in your life all throughout school. Writing poetry can help you with finding words that are more complex, and fuel your imagination In Language Arts, understanding the message the poem has is vital, and should be appreciated.
