Answer
1.Poetry is a written art. Poetry is a person's literary work in conveying messages through diction and written patterns.
2. A) Lyric Poetry : especially song-like and emotional. Sonnets and Odes are examples of poems that are lyrical in nature.
Example
How Do I Love Thee
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith
I love thee with a love I seem to love
With my lost saints, - I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
B) Narrative Poetry : A narrative poem tells a story. Typically, these can be read aloud and will maintain the audience's attention due to their rhymtic movement.
Example
The Raven
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore-
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door-
Only this and nothing more."
C) Dramatic Poetry : Encompasses a highly emotional story that's written in verse and meant to be recited. It usually tells a story or refers to a specific situation.
Example
The Dream Called Life
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. A) Puisi Lama : Puisi lama merupakan jenis karya sastra puisi yang masih terikat pada aturan-aturan seperti jumlah baris dan sajak/rima.
Contoh (Pantun)
Di jalan
tak sengaja berjumpa daun sugi
Ingat manfaat, lantas cepat dibawa
Tiada belajar tiada yang rugi
Kecuali diri sendiri di masa tua
B) Puisi Baru : merupakan jenis karya sastra puisi yang lebihbebas dibandingkan puisi lama karena tidak terikat pada aturan-aturan seperti jumlah baris.
Contoh (Romansa)
Kisah ini hanya kau dan aku
Tak ada ketiga, keempat, kelima
Aku adalah kau
Kau adalah aku
Senyummu adalah bahagiaku
Tangismu adalah laraku
Citamu adalah wajibku
Karena kau…
Adalah tulang rusukku
