Poetic Definitions of Poetry: An assignment to discover what students think poetry is both individually and commonally…and an opportunity to enlarge that perspective. First invite students to write a single line defining poetry. They can put it aside. Pass out strips from table below. (Eliminate borders). Have students read the line they have been given and share it with another student. A Poem A poem is a portrait sketched in words. It is a synonym for soul, a sermon From the stars. It is a song of mockingbirds Who mimic men: the fragrance of a forgotten Rose. It is the grammar of the soul And the language of the heart. It is a dream That comes to those who are awake; a stroll Upon the boulevard of time; a scheme To conquer death. It is the power of Rome In a sonnet. It is a waltz for words, a dance Of the pen to the time of a mental metronome. A poem is a mental prayer and a breath From the soul which says that life is more than death. —Roger Bates Kronmann Exercise Circle the word that you think best applies: This poet thinks that poems are: Beautiful powerful spiritual emotional 1.
