Journal 43: Elements of Poetry


       Some parts in elements of poetry are the same as the elements we use in stories. Things like plot, setting, conflict, character, resolution could all be included in the poem. However there are always things that are different, elements of poetry is not the same as the elements of literature. Poetry has elements such as: rhymes, rhythms, a lot more metaphor and usage of imagery than we will find in other types of writing. Poems, as a type of writing originally come from songs, usually emphasize and re-emphasize on the rhymes and rhythms. While stories usually tells a sequence of events and conflicts that attract readers to read.
     A poem name “A Girl” by Ezra Pound describes the girl in detail using metaphors that creates images in reader’s mind while reading. In the poem, the word “girl” is never mention. However it is clear to me that the word tree is used to replace the word girl.  A writer of story would also use imagery but he or she will not use that much of metaphors in the story. The poem also contains the same word choice for the beginning of every sentence and end rhymes are always visible. This is something that a writer of stories will not emphasize on.
