True Friend
By: Maria Flemming

A new friend, a true friend
A cheers me when I’m blue friend
A sunny day hurray friend
A ‘nice in everywhere

A new friend a true friend
A turns the gray skies ‘blue friend
A talk and talk non stop friend
A giggle till we ‘drop friend
A none can ever top friend

A new friend, a true friend
A ‘happy I ‘met ‘you friend.

Happiness

It is such a joy
to feel really happy
your heart sings
your feet dance
your mind sways in the wind
The world is light
you float on a breeze
The world moves
to the rhythm of your joy
every note is sung
with the voice of contentment

The Seasons

Spring is a lovely lady
with flashing eyes of green
Her hair is decked with flowers
Of growing things she’s Queen

Summer’s lively school boy
who loves the sun and surf
And singing, clowning, and prancing
Round the campfire on the turf

Autumn’s hair is golden
As the leaves begin to fall
She enjoys the fruit of the harvest
And mellow light over all

Winter’s a sleeping giant
Who slumbers long and deep
With slow but sure awakening
Another year to greet

Mom

Mom is such
A special world
The loveliest
I’ve ever heard

A toast to you
Above all the rest
Mom you’re so special
You are simply the best

Read the poems above, and answer the following questions.
1. Do you like reading the poem? Which poem do you like?
2. What is the topic of the poem?
3. What do you get from reading the poem?
4. What makes a poem interesting?

The topic of a poem could be a relationship with someone, someone’s emotion, beauty
of nature, social, human, war, natural disaster, etc. A reader can get a message by
reading through a poem.
A poem looks interesting because the reader find the repetition of words, the same
sounds, the choice of poetic words, and the figure of speech on it.

Let’s do it Let’s do the following activities in order to get the meaning
and the beauty of poems.

A. Read and listen to the following poem, then answer the questions.

MY BED 1. What is the poem about?
By: R. Riecke Gernon 2. What does the writer want to reveal

My bed, My bed, I love my bed. through his poem?
It rests my feet, it rests my head. 3. What word are repeated many

It rests my neck, it rests my back. 4. Look at the end of the sentences.
I love to spend time in my sack.

It rests my hands, it rests my toes. 5. Listen to the audio of the poem
Whatever else it rests, who knows. reading, and observe the rhythm of
So even though it’s seldom said, the poem.
My! Oh How I love my bed.

The poem above is about BED. We know it from the tittle and from the word which
is repeated many times. The repeated word aims to strengthen the meaning and
the idea of the poem. From repeated words the writer wants to reveal his feeling
how he loves his bed after running his life all day.

At the end of the sentences there are pairs of word which have the same sounds
or syllables. For example: bed – head, days – haze, back – sack, heart – start, toes
– knows, and said – bed. It is called RYHME. The poem My Bed shows that it has
rhyme scheme aa bb.

A poem also has RHYTHM. Rhythm means the pattern of sound. It is like the pattern
of beat in a music: DUM da DUM da DUM da. The rhythm functions as to strengthen
the meaning of words or ideas in the poem.

B. Read and listen to the following poem, then answer the questions.

Do Not Give Up 1. What is the poem about?
2. What does the writer want to reveal
If you keep on going

you in the second stanza?
So keep on going 6. What is the rhyme scheme of the

You can make it to the top.

STANZA is a group of line forming a unit like a paragraph.
Structurally a poem is built up with series of line grouped together.
A stanza could be of two, three, four, or five lines.
But modern poem/poetry has no stanzas.

C. Read and listen to the following poem, then answer the questions.

The Deserted House 1. What is the poem about?
By: Mary Coleridge 2. As a the reader, what can you

There’s no smoke in the chimney, imagine?
And the rain beats on the floor 3. Which lines touch the reader’s visual

There’s no glass in the window, sense
There’s no wood in the door 4. Which lines touch the reader’s

And heather grows behind the hearing sense?
house,

And the sand lies before

……………………………………………………

IMAGERY

A poem must have imagery words. Imagery is the creation of images using words
which generate reader’s imagination. To catch the meaning of the imagery words, a
reader has to include his/her sense of visual and hearing.

All lines in the poem above touch the visual and hearing sense that the reader can see
what is described by the poet. In the second line a reader can hear the rain water
drops on the floor. In the remain lines touch the reader’s visual sense.

A reader can imagine an empty house, deserted, no glass window, the broken roof
and door, bushy, dull in color, and no one visited it.

D. Listen and pay attention to this poem and answer the questions about figurative
language.
 Simile

A Family is like a Circle 1. What thing is a family compared in
By : Nicole M. O’Neil the first, second and the third
stanza?
A family is like a circle
The connection never ends, 2. What is the reason of the poet to
and even if at times it breaks compare a family with the three
in time it always mends. things?

A famiAlysisalike the stars
Somewhere they’re always there
Families are those who help,
who support and always care

A family is like a book
The ending’s never clear,
but through the pages of the
book,
their love is always near

…………………………………………………
…

A SIMILE is a figurative speech In which two different things compare
the similarities. Usually use the word “like” or “as”.

In the poem above, the poet compared a family with a circle because the
relationship among the members never breaks up. Even if it breaks up
at one time, it will mend at the end. It is just like a circle.

The poet also compare a family with the stars because the stars function
as a direction. So when a member of a family get lost direction in
his/her life, he/she will find his/her family.

At the last stanza the poet compare a family with a book because there
is similarity in pages of book and life. The member of a family always
find love in every page of life.

 Metaphor What is the poem about?

Alpine Glow 1. What is the analogy of lives
By: Emily Elizabeth Dickinson according to the poet?

Our lives are Swiss 2. Why does the poet compare their
So still, so cool lives with Swiss?

Till, some odd afternoon 3. What do you call the figurative
The Alps neglect their curtains language?

And we look farther on

Italy stands the other side
While, like a guard between

The solemn Alps
The siren Alps
Forever intervene

METAPHOR is comparison between two things that states one
thing with another. And it does not use the word “like” or “as”.

The poem above shows the figurative language Metaphor. The
poet said that her lives with her partner is as till and cool as Swiss.

Swiss is surrounded with Alpen mountain. It is calm and cool. It
means that their relationship is not so good.

Example of metaphor are:
My love is red, red rose.

You are my oxygen.

 Personification 1. What object is personified in the
poem?
Sing to Me, Autumn
By: Patricia L. Cisco 2. Which words show personification?

Sing to me, Autumn, with the
rustle of your leaves.
Breathe on me your spicy scents
that flow within your breeze.

Dance with me, Autumn, your
waltz that bends the boughs of
trees.
Now tell me all the secrets you've
whispered to the seas.

Sleep with me, Autumn, beneath
your starlit skies.
Let your yellow harvest moon
shimmer in our eyes.

Kiss me, Autumn, with your
enchanting spellbound ways
That changes all you touch into
crimson golden days.

Love me, Autumn, and behold this
love so true
That I'll be waiting faithfully each
year to be with you.

PERSONIFICATION is a figurative language which gives human attribute
to an object or animal. The object is not a human, even not a living thing

.

Personification is used to add more description to the poem.

In the poem above, Autumn season is personified as human, as if it
could sing, dance, kiss, and love just like human can do.

 Hyperbole

As I Walked One Evening 1. Do you think that China and Africa
By: W. H. Auden will meet?

…………………………………………. 2. Isn’t it exaggerated?
3. Can you find another line using the
I’ll love you, dear, I’ll love you

And the salmon sing in the street.
