The world today is filled with a lot of challenges and dangers especially with all the crimes and disasters shown by the media. These can be found in almost all media vehicles, in TVs, radios, newspapers, internet and cellphones. With all these tragedies and crime around us, we can uplift our lives with joyful poems.
These poems are collections of words that expresses an idea or an emotion that often uses metaphor, sound patterns, or imagery to convey the message. They are composed more in verse rather than prose. A poem has many basic elements that contribute to its beauty and effectiveness such as form, voice, line, stanzas, sound, rhythm, and figures of speech.
One element, which is the form, is usually very flexible when it comes to modern poetry than previous ones and is less structured in the contemporary times. However, it is easily distinguishable from proses which because it still has the basic structure of its form and it is found in nearly all free verse. Even classic styles do not conform strictly to the standards so that can create emphasis and effects in their works.
It has three primary types, which are narrative, descriptive, and lyric poems, with other subtypes such as haiku, ballads, limericks, free verse, sonnets, epics, odes, and many more. Lines of word that are grouped together are known as stanzas and they are separated by a space or an empty line, which is similar to a paragraph in a story or any written composition. Though stanzas are usually made of the same amount of lines, it is not necessary to have stanzas.
A way to enhance the effect of the poem is through sound play or patterns, which is very complex itself. Examples of these are alliteration, rhyme, assonance, repetition, onomatopoeia, euphony, consonance and refrain. The most commonly used among them is the rhyme where the syllables at the end of each line is similar to each other or sounds alike.
Rhythm is the pattern in which a poet chooses the sequence of stressed and unstressed syllables to create oral patterns. Meter or metric is the stressing of these syllables so when the reader reads it aloud it will not sound monotonous, but in different tones. Your voice rises and falls as if you are singing, which is sometimes in unconscious manner.
Figurative language is wording that makes comparison between things, senses, or emotions through the use of figures of speech. Some of the figures of speech uses are simile, metaphor, hyperbole, personification, symbolism, allegory, and irony. However, imagery is the use of words to convey vivid, concrete sensory experience which creates a mental image about the subject of the poem.
It can include the vivid sensory experiences of smell, sound, touch, and taste that goes beyond mere description. The voice refers on how it is written, whether in first person, which is called the speaker, or in third person. In most poems, we know that the speaking voice is the poet, though we cannot assume that the author and the character are the same individual.
Tone refers to the way the author present his work in terms of the feel of the work or towards the subject. It can indicate a feeling of happiness, sadness, confusion, amusement, anger, and other emotions. As such, joyful poems can bring feeling of hope, love and happiness.
