Rhyme and the pleasure of it

 

Hi Everyone,

I hope this finds you well, and that you have been having a wonderful time as the seasons change.

Today I thought I would share a video from Youtube about rhyme and rhythm in poetry and why its so enjoyable.  Its also a useful video, as it gives some terminology of poetry - a useful thing if you are a student.  Even if you are not a student, I hope you enjoy it and get something out of it.



Till we meet again, have a great weekend.

Different Kinds Of Verse

Hi Everyone,

I hope this finds you well, and that you had a wonderful Christmas wherever you may be.

Today I just wanted to share with you briefly the various types of poetry/verse that exists around the world.  Some may be considered ancient, some not so much.

This list is meant as a starting point for gaining poetry knowledge and will give an idea of what you are looking for when you research the various types further.

So without further ado, the list:

• Epic
• Narrative
• Religious / Belief based
• Dramatic
• Descriptive
• Didactic (Teaching / Instructional)
• Lyric
• Satirical
• Occasional
• Light and humorous
• Historical
• Translated

As I said its just a starting point on a much greater journey.  I hope it serves you well.

Till we meet again, have a good week.

JR.
