1. Poetry is a written art. Poetry is a person's literary work in conveying messages through diction and written patterns. With a beautiful language which contains meaning, rhythm, rhyme, dimension and verse.
2. The genre of English poetry, there are three main genres : Narrative, Lyric, Dramatic
a. Narrative poetry
Narrative poetry is poetry that tell a story.
The Song of Hiawatha
On the Mountains of the Prairie,
On the great Red Pipe-stone Quarry,
Gitche Manito, the mighty,
He the Master of Life, descending,
On the red crags of the quarry
Stood erect, and called the nations,
Called the tribes of men together."
b. Lyric poetry
This type of poetry is divided into several types, namely elegies, ode, and serenade.
Example :
Go, lovely Rose-
Tell her that wastes her time and me,
That now she knows,
When I resemble her to thee,
How sweet and fair she seems to be.
Tell her that's young,
And shuns to have her graces spied,
That hadst thou sprung
In deserts where no men abide,
Thou must have uncommended died.
Small is the worth
Of beauty from the light retired:
Bid her come forth,
Suffer herself to be desired,
And not blush so to be admired.
Then die-that she
The common fate of all things rare
May read in thee;
How small a part of time they share
That are so wondrous sweet and fair!
c. Dramatic poetry
Dramatic poetry is poetry that describes a person's behavior objectively, be it a description of someone's behavior, dialogue or monologue.
Example :
DREAM it was in which I found myself.
And you that hail me now, then hailed me king,
In a brave palace that was all my own,
Within, and all without it, mine; until,
Drunk with excess of majesty and pride,
Methought I towered so big and swelled so wide
That of myself I burst the glittering bubble
Which my ambition had about me blown
And all again was darkness. Such a dream
As this, in which I may be walking now,
Dispensing solemn justice to you shadows,
Who make believe to listen; but anon
Kings, princes, captains, warriors, plume and steel,
Ay, even with all your airy theater,
May flit into the air you seem to rend.
3. The genre of Indonesian poetry, there are seven main genres :
a. Balada
b. Hymne
c. Ode
d. Epigram
e. Romansa
f. Elegi
g. Satire
Example :
- Ode
My teacher ...
Light in my darkness
Filler all my blanks
Conditioning the wilting of my heart
You kill all ignorance
You light up every side of the soul
You are vulnerable to all negative views
Your heart is truly noble
What a sacrifice you have
Your sincerity is priceless
Your suit is like precious gold
Will not be replaced until death picks up
Will not be covered by the ugliness of the world
My teacher ...
I thank you from the bottom of my heart
- Epigram
That day there was no place to run
There is no place to hide
Nobody begged for mercy
Everything is together
Charity is the only helper
The only light charity
Moaning is meaningless
Regret is useless
Only then did he become aware of the mortal world
