Poetic Forms Booklet Research And Writing Project Page 2

Page 3-----Qualities of the Form

The third page should give readers a sense of what makes your form similar and

different from other poetic forms. It should answer questions that talk about the actual form.

(Does this form of poetry deal with specific themes? Is there a rhyme scheme? Is there a

specific meter? What poetic qualities does it usually have? Does a poet have to do

anything special to create the poem?)

Page 4-----Famous Example of a Poem in the Form With Citation

The fourth page should have a famous example of the poetic form, or if famous

versions are too difficult to comprehend, another published poem that uses this form. There

should also be a citation in MLA form at the bottom of the page that says where you got the

poem from.

Page 5-----Annotations of the Example Poem

The fifth page, which is opposite to the fourth page, should have your annotations of

the poem. Your annotations should point out any use of rhyme schemes, meters, alliteration,

similies, metaphors, assonance, consonance, symbols, stanzas, enjambment, etc. Use

different colors to underline and discuss different poetic tools used in the poem.

Page 6-----Your own original poem in the form

The sixth page has a poem that you wrote in the form you chose. We will workshop

these poems in small groups so you have a chance to make sure that it fits the form and says

what you want it to say.

Page 7-----Annotations of your own Poem

The seventh page, which is opposite of the sixth page, should have your annotations

of your own poem so others can see the poetic techniques you used in your poem.

Page 8-----About the Author Page

The back cover should have a self-drawn picture of yourself along with a short

biography of you, the author.
