Module 5: Poetry

When faced with a new poem, you now have the tools to analyze it for figurative language, sound devices, rhyme, and other poetic elements. In this module, you studied how poets use these tools to create poetry. Not only did you study elements of poetry, your expertise gave you the opportunity to read works by some of literature's most famous poets, and even compose some of your own poetry. As a genre, poetry stands out as a way for artists to express themselves and their ideas creatively.
