This was a really, really helpful synopsis. You really hit on all the different types of poetry, and it seems like you really understand them. I always struggle with identifying types of poetry, yet you just banged out all those quatrains and tercets and iambs no problem! Great job! This is something I am going to study from, so thank you!! The only thing I found a little vauge was the bit about doggerel, but other than that this was terrific.
ReplyDeleteYou are clearly a very organized person! This outline is very useful and easy to follow. These concepts will be essential for the AP test, because there are so many different types of poems and poetry techniques that we will have to identify and explain. This makes it seem a little less daunting since it is so well condensed.
