GENRE STUDY Poetry uses the sounds and rhythms of words
to show images and express feelings.

• Poems include sound effects, such as rhyme, rhythm, and
meter, to reinforce the meaning of the poem. Not all poems
rhyme, but they all have a rhythm.

• Poems include word sounds, such as alliteration,
onomatopoeia, repetition, and parallel structure, to
emphasize particular words or ideas.

• Poems include figurative language to develop ideas.

• Poems might be organized into stanzas, or a series of lines
grouped together. Each stanza builds upon what is described
in the previous stanza.
