This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear
learners, can continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities,
questions, directions, exercises, and discussions are carefully stated for you
to understand each lesson.
Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you
step-by-step as you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.
Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on lessons in
each SLM. This will tell you if you need to proceed on completing this module
or if you need to ask your facilitator or your teacher’s assistance for better
understanding of the lesson. At the end of each module, you need to answer
the post-test to self-check your learning. Answer keys are provided for each
activity and test. We trust that you will be honest in using these.
In addition to the material in the main text, Notes to the Teacher are
also provided to our facilitators and parents for strategies and reminders on
how they can best help you on your home-based learning.
Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on
any part of this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises
and tests. And read the instructions carefully before performing each task.
If you have any questions in using this SLM or any difficulty in

READING AND WRITING POETRY
Poetry is a literary work to express feelings and ideas with the use of distinctive style and rhythm. In poetry, sound and meaning of words are combined to express feelings, thoughts and ideas. The poet chooses words carefully. Poetry is usually written in lines.
TYPES OF POETRY
- Narrative – a poem that tells a story, and has the elements of a story.
Types of Narrative Poetry
- Epic - an epic is a long unified narrative poem, recounting in dignified language the adventures of a warrior, a king or a god, the whole embodying the religious and philosophical beliefs, the moral code, customs, traditions, manners, attitudes, sciences, folklore and culture of the people or country from which it came.
- Metrical Romance – it recounts the quest undertaken by a single knight in order to gain a lady’s favor.
- Metrical Tale - is a simple, straightforward story in verse.
- Ballad - is a narrative poem which is meant to be sung, usually composed in the ballad stanza.
- Dramatic – a poem where the speaker is someone other than the poet themselves. A Dramatic poem often includes characters and dialogue. A Dramatic Monologue is often from a fictional character’s point of view. Types of Dramatic Poetry - Dramatic Monologue - is a literary device that is used when a character reveals his or her innermost thoughts and feelings, those that are hidden throughout the course of the story line, through a poem or a speech. - Soliloquy - is the act of speaking while alone, especially when used as a theatrical device that allows a character’s thoughts and ideas to be conveyed to the audience.
- Lyrical – a poem that expresses emotions, appeals to your senses, and often could
be set to music.
Types of Lyric Poetry
- Ode - is a dignified and elaborately structured lyric poem praising and

glorifying an individual, commemorating an event, or describing nature intellectually rather than emotionally.
- Elegy - is a lyric poem, written in elegiac couplets, that expresses sorrow or lamentation, usually for one who has died.
- Sonnet - is a short poem with fourteen lines, usually written in iambic pentameter. For example, the word "remark" consists of two syllables. ... A foot is an iamb if it consists of one unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable, so the word remark is an iamb. Penta means five, so a line of iambic pentameter consists of five iambs - five sets of unstressed and stressed syllables.
- Song - is a lyric poem which is set to music. All songs have a strong beat created largely through the 3R’s: rhythm, rhyme, and repetition.
- Simple Lyric - is a short poem expressing the poet’s thought, feeling, or emotion.
Elements of Poetry
1. Speaker – is the narrative voice of the poem. The persona/ voice of a poem can
be the first person “I”, second person “you”, the third person “he or she”, or the public person (large audience, like society).
2. Subject – is the topic of the poem such as nature, love, death, and other life
events.
3. Theme - It is defined as a main idea or an underlying meaning of a literary
work that may be stated directly or indirectly.
4. Tone - the attitude you feel in it - the writer's attitude toward the subject or
audience. The tone can be formal or informal, serious or humorous, sad or happy.
5. Form - refers to a type of poem that follows a particular set of rules, whether
it be the number of lines, the length or number of stanzas, rhyme scheme, subject matter, or really whatever rule you can think of.
6. Sound - rhyme, rhythm, alliteration
7. Rhythm - a literary device which demonstrates the long and short patterns
through stressed and unstressed syllables particularly in verse form.
8. Rhyme - a repetition of similar sounding words occurring at the end of lines in
poems or songs.
9. Stanzas - a division of four or more lines having a fixed length, meter or
rhyming scheme. Stanza divides a poem in such a way that does not harm its balance but rather it adds to the beauty to the symmetry of a poem. ✓ couplet (2 lines) ✓ tercet (3 lines) ✓ quatrain (4 lines) ✓ cinquain (5 lines) ✓ sestet (6 lines) (sometimes it's called a sixain) ✓ septet (7 lines) ✓ octave (8 lines)
10. Imagery – uses its 5 senses to point a picture on image in the reader’s mind.
11. Diction – can be defined as style of speaking or writing determined by the
choice of words by a speaker or a writer.
12. Meter- a stressed and unstressed syllabic pattern in a verse, or within the
lines of a poem. Stressed syllables tend to be longer, and unstressed shorter.
13. Symbolism– is the use of a specific object or an image to represent an
abstract idea. A symbol is a word or phrase that represents something other
