    Poetry
    Poetry is a literature that evokes a concentrated imaginative awareness of
    experience or a specific emotional response through language chosen and arranged for
    its meaning, sound, and rhythm.

    There are three types of poetry; narrative, lyric and dramatic.

    A. Narrative Poetry:
    This form describes important events in life either real or imaginary. The different
    varieties are:

    1. Epic-This is an extended narrative about heroic exploits often under supernatural


    control. It may deal with heroes and gods.

     Two kinds of epic poetry are the popular or ancient, and the literary or
    modern.
     Ancient or popular epic is often without a definite author; the modern is
    with a definite author.
    The Harvest Song of Aliguyon (an excerpt) is an example of an ancient
    Philippine epic
    2. Metrical Tale- A narrative which is written in verse and can be classified either
    as a ballad or a metrical romance.
    Bayani ng Bukid by Al Perez is an example of an idyll.
    3. Ballads- This is considered the shortest and simplest. In the early times, this
    referred to a song accompanying a dance.

    B. Lyric Poetry
    1. Folksongs (Awiting Bayan) - These are short poems intended to be sung. The
    common theme is love, despair, grief, doubt, joy, hope and sorrow.
    Example: Chit-Chirit-Chit
    2. Sonnets: This is a lyric poem of 14 lines dealing with an emotion, a feeling, or an
    idea. These are two types: the Italian and Shakespearean.
    Example: Santang Buds by Alfonso P. Santos
    3. Elegy: This is a lyric poem in which expresses feelings of grief and melancholy,
    and whose theme is death.
    Example: The Lover’s Death by Ricaredo Demetillo
    4. Ode: This is a poem of a noble feeling, expressed with dignity, with no definite
    number of syllables or definite number of lines in a stanza.
    5. Psalms: This is a song praising God or the Virgin Mary and containing a
    philosophy of life.
    6. Awit (Song): These have measures of twelve syllables (dodecasyllabic) and
    slowly sung to the accompaniment of a guitar or banduria.
    Example: Florante at Laura by Francisco Balagtas
    7. Corridos (Kuridos): These have measures of eight syllables (octosyllabic) and
    recited to a martial beat.
    Example: Ibong Adarna
    C. Dramatic Poetry
    1. Comedy-The word comedy comes from the Greek term “Komos” meaning
    festivity or revelry.
    2. Melodrama- This is usually used in musical plays.
    3. Tragedy-This involves the hero struggling mightily against dynamic forces.
    4. Farce- This is an exaggerated comedy. It seeks to arouse mirth by laughable
    lines.
    5. Social Poems-This form is either purely comic or tragic and it pictures the life of
    today.
