Loss

by Antonio Samson

There is some sadness

In hearing conversation stop

Or finding out a loss of friends

The feeling hallows out

Your soul

And leaves you by yourself

Staring at details

Like frog and snails

And what to do

The sadness grows and grows

Like a tree without leaves.

At this phase, you will discover the elements of poetry, styles and literary techniques and devices. Here, you will crystallize/illustrate your knowledge and use basal adjectives in varied activities. You will also reflect, revise and rethink your understanding. After this you may go back to Activity 4 (Query Chart) in the Explore Phase and see if you can answer the questions you could not answer before and if those which you wanted to ask have been answered already.

Lesson 1: Elements of Poetry

Poems have several elements and they are as follows:

� Figurative Language consists of words with meanings beyond their usual dictionary meanings. The three common types of figurative language are simile, metaphor, and extended metaphor.

Simile is a comparison between two essentially unlike objects that uses like or as to make this comparison. Examples: Your tongue is as sharp as a knife. Liza’s hands are soft like cotton. Metaphor is like a simile, but it does not use the word like or as. Examples: Jose Carlo is a lion when he is angry. The road is a ribbon under the moonlight.

FIRM UP Your Understanding

Poetry is one of the oldest forms of literature. Before literature was written down, people told stories. They used rhythm and rhyme to help them remember the stories better. Ballads were actually stories in poetic form that were sung. Many narrative poems still use rhythm and rhyme to tell stories.

Poetry consists of a language with a strong musical quality in which words are highly-charged with meaning. Poetry is written in lines and these lines are grouped into stanzas.

Page 7: ENGLISH TEACHING GUIDE QUARTER 3 POETRY

7

Extended Metaphor is carried through from the beginning to the end of the poem. Other Types of Figurative Language Personification is giving human attributes to inanimate or non-living things. They are made to think, speak and act the way human beings do. Examples: The tree lifts its branches to pray. The wind whispers my love. Hyperbole is an obvious and unrealistic exaggeration. Examples: I’m so hungry, I could eat you alive. I’ll die a thousand deaths for you. Onomatopoeia is the use of word which sounds like it means. Examples: The buzzing of the bees disturbed me. The children were startled by the boom of the thunder. Oxymoron is a phrase which contains opposite elements or words with opposite meaning, yet which expresses one idea when taken as a whole. Examples: The sound of silence is deafening. I’ll speak in a monstrous little voice.

� Sensory Images is the use of vivid language to create word pictures. Usually these word pictures appeal to the senses and arouse strong feelings.

� Sound Devices create the music of poetry. The four common sound devices are rhythm, rhyme, alliteration, and onomatopoeia.

Rhythm is the pattern of stressed and unstressed lines in a poem. Rhyme is the matching of sounds at the ends of the words. Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds. Onomatopoeia is the creation of words to imitate sounds.

� Theme is the general truth or insight to life suggested by a poem. � Symbolism is the use of any person, place, or thing that has a meaning in

itself and that also stands for something else. A symbol can be another living thing, an object, a situation, or an action. Usually symbols stand for ideas or qualities and they enable the writer to express a complicated idea or a deep feeling in few words, sometimes in a single image.

� Tone in poetry is the poet’s or speaker’s attitude toward the subject, toward the reader, or toward himself or herself. It can often be described by such words as serious, amused, sad, cheerful, angry, playful, comic, proud or mocking.

� Voice refers to the speaking persona in poetry where specific characters are not indicated as “the speaker”.

� Form refers to the number of lines, rhyme, rhythm, number of stanzas and rules of grammar.

The Philippine Flag by Amparo Reyes

They plucked the sun from heaven They plucked three shining stars, Set these in a spotless triangle

Beside two parallel bars.

One bar was crimson sunset, The other was azure sky,

They bowed by the sun and the shining stars For freedom they’d live and die.

White were the souls they offered,

Red was the blood they shed, Blue was the great undying flame That haloed each martyr’s head.

Behold the flag in its glory,

Rising up to the sky; Vow by the sun and the shining stars

For freedom, live and die.

Lesson 2: Style Used by the Author

In addition to using rhythm and rhyme, poets use language in other special ways to

appeal to a reader’s senses and emotions. Because many poems are short, poets choose

each word and phrase with care to create vivid images, or pictures, in the reader’s mind.

PHRASE MODIFIER A phrase modifier is composed of two or more words and is used either as an adjective or as an adverb. There are different kinds of phrase modifiers and they are as follows:

� Prepositional Phrase is formed by putting together a preposition and its

object

PREPOSITIONS Single-Word Prepositions

about above at regarding around between after beneath by except from despite to on before under in into onto throughout for across along since during near beside among besides beyond behind through of with without as up down inside outside

Page 12: ENGLISH TEACHING GUIDE QUARTER 3 POETRY

12

Compound Prepositions in the middle of owing to prior to on top of in spite of according to out of at the back of in front of in the midst of instead of because of Examples:The poem “The Ballad of A Mother’s Heart” has made me cry.

P OP (“Of a mother’s heart” is a prepositional phrase that is used to modify, describe or limit the meaning of the noun ballad. It functions as an adjective. It answers the question “Which ballad has made you cry?”

He pleaded as he knelt before her feet in tears. P OP (“Before her feet” is a prepositional phrase that is used to modify the verb knelt. It is used as an adverb. It also answers the question “Where did he kneel?”

� Participial Phrase is composed of a participle (present participle or past

participle) and its object. It is always used as an adjective. Examples: Groaning with pain, the youth thought of his mother. (“Groaning with pain” modifies the noun youth.)

Holding his mother’s heart, he ran to see his maiden fair. (“Holding his mother’s heart” modifies the pronoun he.) Proven true, the news came to us as a shock. (“Proven true” modifies the noun news.)

� Infinitive is formed by following the pattern “to+base form of verb”. It may

be used as a noun, an adjective or an adverb. An infinitive phrase is made up of an infinitive and its modifiers and complements.

Infinitive Phrases as Adjectives Maria has a story to tell the audience. (The infinitive phrase to tell the audience is used as an adjective modifying the noun story.)

Page 13: ENGLISH TEACHING GUIDE QUARTER 3 POETRY

13

Do you have ideas to share with your classmates? (The infinitive phrase to share with your classmates is used as an adjective modifying the noun ideas.)

Activity 9 Copy the sentences below in your activity notebook. Tell whether each underlined modifier

is used as prepositional, participial or infinitive phrase. __________ 1. The house on the hill is haunted. __________ 2. Sheila has lessons to review for the test tomorrow. __________ 3. Seeing my manuscript, the editor considered my application. __________ 4. Mr. Lucio Santos has a movie to produce for the Filipino audience. __________ 5. Carlo and Yvonne wear pants with six pockets. __________ 6. Wild flowers in the meadows paint the landscape yellow and red. __________ 7. Sleeping soundly, the family is not aware of the presence of the burglars. __________ 8. Shaking with fear, Desiree hid behind the door. __________10. Peanuts and raisins are good snacks to take on a field trip. Activity 10

Copy the sentences below in your activity notebook. Underline the prepositional phrase in each sentence and tell how it is used. Write ADJ or ADV on the space provided before each number. __________ 1. Behind the door hides the man. __________ 2. We saw the car near the gasoline station. __________ 3. The precious ring with solitaire diamond is an heirloom. __________ 4. Christine did not read the story of creation. __________ 5. Those fresh flowers with pink ribbon are mine. __________ 6. Thelma and her sister cried because of pain. __________ 7. Luisa lives at 222 Sampaguita St., San Carlos, Binangonan, Rizal. __________ 8. My parents left in November. __________ 9.

After doing my best to teach her for two weeks, I quit. __________ 9. Cartherine has a plan to go travel abroad after college. __________10. The best time to visit Baguio City is March through May. Lesson 3: Sentence Structure Poets use sentences to communicate ideas and emotions. For communication to be meaningful, a poet must choose appropriate words and put them in an order that the reader or listener can follow. No matter how short or long sentences in a poem are, they always have subject (implied or explicitly stated) and predicate.

Page 15: ENGLISH TEACHING GUIDE QUARTER 3 POETRY

15

Sentence is a word or group of words that expresses a complete thought or idea. It always starts with a capital letter. It may end with period, question mark or exclamation point. The subject is a noun, pronoun, or group of words acting as a noun, plus any modifiers, that tells who or what the sentence is about. The predicate is the verb or verb phrase, plus any modifiers and complements that tells what the subject of the sentence does or what it is all about. As the examples show, subjects and predicates vary in length.

Subject Predicate Children are born. Tears filmed her eyes. His breath was like a wounded bird.

The lingering twilight wanes. Sentences may be in the normal or inverted order (for emphasis). Inverted sentences have the verb or predicate first. They usually begin with prepositional phrases/adverbs. Prepositional Phrase V S Examples:Beneath the pillows smoldered the cigarette. Adv. V S Here comes the school bus . Sentences in the normal order have the subject followed by the verb or predicate. S V Examples: The cigarette smoldered beneath the pillows. S V The school bus comes here. Activity 13

Copy the following sentences in your activity notebook. Underline the complete subject once and the complete predicate twice.

1. My mother teaches forty-five students. 2. Valentina and Herminia go to Cebu for their vacation. 3. Everyone is delighted to see Maria. 4. The necklace is made of beads and leather. 5. The ladies are wearing baro’t saya. 6. Her mother is a college graduate. 7. A group of tourists went to Quezon province. 8. I am proud to be a Filipino.

Page 16: ENGLISH TEACHING GUIDE QUARTER 3 POETRY

16

9. Some items were not sold. 10. Through the livelihood project, the government is helping them lead productive

lives. Activity 14 Read the sentences and copy them in your activity notebook. Tell the order each follows. Write NORMAL or INVERTED.

1. Here comes the bride, all dressed in white. 2. Beyond the mountain of sacrifice lies the glory of paradise. 3. The pain ceased after the tooth was extracted. 4. Tim paid her debts willingly. 5. Alice sang in her shrill voice to annoy me. 6. The general wore a medal around his neck. 7. On the wall hung a portrait of my wife. 8. In the car sat a police officer. 9. Mr. Allen praised his class for an excellent performance. 10. The group enjoyed watching the presentation.

Have you finished accomplishing the activities/tasks? Have you gone back to Activity 4 (Explore Phase) and answered the questions which you could not answer before? Have the questions you asked been answered?

Very Good!

Let’s proceed to the next phase.

At this phase you are to reflect, revisit, rethink and revise your earlier assumptions about the elements of poetry, styles and literary techniques and devices through thought-provoking questions and meaningful/challenging activities. Here you will also be engaged in meaningful self-evaluation.

Activity 18

Read the poem below and recognize the elements present in it.

Sonnet I Jose Garcia Villa

First, a poem must be magical, Then musical, as the sea gull. It must be a brightness moving

And hold a secret bird’s flowering. It must be slender as a bell. And must hold fire as well.

It must have the wisdom of the bows And it must kneel like a rose.

It must be able to hear The luminance of dove and deer.

It must be able to hide What it seeks like a bride.

And over all I would like to hover God, smiling from the poem’s cover.
