Language Features: Poetry

Poetry: Introduction to poetry

Malo e lelei and welcome back to my blog. In our writing lesson today we were learning about the introduction to poetry. Poems are a way of describing things that makes the reader feel like they are a part of the story. Things like language features are big in Poetry and there are lots of them such as: 

• Similes- a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind
• Metaphor- a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable.
• Onomatopoeia- the formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named 
• Rhyme-correspondence of sound between words or the endings of words, especially when these are used at the ends of lines of poetry.
• Alliteration- the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words.

Hope you enjoyed reading my learning about Poems and Language Features.
