Understanding Poetry
Poetry is a form of literature that is usually written in lines and stanzas.
Words in a poem are put in a special way to make a rhythm (a regular repeated pattern of sounds).
The theme of a poem is often shown by images and through literary devices (e.g.simile,personification,metaphor, exaggeration).
