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

• Poems may be written in one of several styles, such as
lyric, acrostic, concrete, or narrative.

• Poets often use figurative language, such as similes and
metaphors.

• Poets might organize a poem into stanzas—a series of
lines grouped together. Each stanza builds upon what is

described in the previous stanza.
