basically, i need to produce a portfolio of childrens poetry in the following styles
Acrostic
Ballad - poem/song that tells a story
Epic - poem/story relating the adventures of o heroic or legendary figure
Narrative poem – poem which tells a story
Ode – lyric poem addressed to the subject (2nd person)
Calligram – calligraphy represents the subject
Shape poem – layout reflects the subject
Elegy- poem or song which is a lament (someone died)
Epitaph – engraving on a tombstone
Eulogy - Praising someone or thing
Blank verse – rhythm but no rhyme
Free verse – no rhyme or rhythm
Sonnet – 14 lines, any rhyming scheme
Haiku - 5/7/5 syllables
Renga - series of haiku, linked by 2 seven syllable lines – can be different poets
Tanka - 5/7/5/7/7
Jingle – short, memorable
Limerick – 5 line comic verse 8/8/6/6/8, rhyming scheme a a b b a
Riddle – question or statement, sometimes rhyming which forms a puzzle
Clerihew – 4 line comic verse with 2 rhyming couplets. First line is the name of the person
A poem made of Kennings – compound expression for something without using its name – e.g. mouse catcher = cat
anyway..i know jack when it comes to poetry..im kind of very very dense..would you be able to recommend some books?
