The world today is filled with a lot of challenges and dangers especially with all the crimes and disasters shown by the media. These can be found in almost all media vehicles, in TVs, radios, newspapers, internet and cellphones. With all these tragedies and crime around us, we can uplift our lives with joyful poems.
These poems are collections of words that expresses an idea or an emotion that often uses metaphor, sound patterns, or imagery to convey the message. They are composed more in verse rather than prose. A poem has many basic elements that contribute to its beauty and effectiveness such as form, voice, line, stanzas, sound, rhythm, and figures of speech.
One element, which is the form, is usually very flexible when it comes to modern poetry than previous ones and is less structured in the contemporary times. However, it is easily distinguishable from proses which because it still has the basic structure of its form and it is found in nearly all free verse. Even classic styles do not conform strictly to the standards so that can create emphasis and effects in their works.
Form has three main types such as descriptive, lyric and narrative poems, and there are many others like haiku, limericks, ballads, sonnets, free verse and many others. Line of words that are grouped together are called stanzas, which are divided by an empty line or a space and it is equivalent to paragraphs in essays. In standard form, stanzas have a uniform number of lines, though it is not necessarily followed.
Sound in poetry can be very complex since it uses a variety of ways and effects. Rhyme, alliteration, assonance, onomatopoeia, euphony, repetition, refrain, and consonance are some example of sound play. Rhymes are usually the most common among them in which the end word of each line sounds the same or just similar.
The oral pattern created when stressing a certain syllable in every line is called the rhythm. Metric is the measurement unit of these stress patterns though it can only be demonstrated when it is read aloud. Since it has stresses in certain syllables, it will not sound like a steady hum of words rather it creates different tones because of the rising and falling of the voice almost like singing.
Figurative language is wording that makes comparison between things, senses, or emotions through the use of figures of speech. Some of the figures of speech uses are simile, metaphor, hyperbole, personification, symbolism, allegory, and irony. However, imagery is the use of words to convey vivid, concrete sensory experience which creates a mental image about the subject of the poem.
It can include the vivid sensory experiences of smell, sound, touch, and taste that goes beyond mere description. The voice refers on how it is written, whether in first person, which is called the speaker, or in third person. In most poems, we know that the speaking voice is the poet, though we cannot assume that the author and the character are the same individual.
Tone refers to the way the author present his work in terms of the feel of the work or towards the subject. It can indicate a feeling of happiness, sadness, confusion, amusement, anger, and other emotions. As such, joyful poems can bring feeling of hope, love and happiness.
