To Autumn – John Keats
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For summer has o’er-brimm’d their clammy cells.
Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?
Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find
Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,
Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind;
Or on a half-reap’d furrow sound asleep

And the vapors that arise
From the well-watered and smoking

Activity: Identify
the Rhyme Scheme
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy
Evening
BY ROBERT FROST
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

POETRY
Poetry, the highest form of literature,
influences us because it shows different shades
of human beings. It expresses different feelings
such as friendship, love, death and other
human emotions.

ELEMENTS OF
POETRY
There are many ways
to kill a cat, same with
writing a poem. There
are many elements to
be
considered, and it's up
to us how we will make
use of them.

• Petrarchan Sonnet
• The Petrarchan sonnet rhyme scheme is similar in some
aspects, but it uses repetition differently. These poems
follow a rhyme scheme of ABBAABBACDCDCD. While the
first eight lines (ABBAABBA) are always the same, the last six
can change. Other popular endings to these poems include
patterns like CDECDE and CDEEDC. It is all up to the poet
whether they choose to add in another rhyming ending or in
what order these endings come in.

• Petrarchan Sonnet Example
• ‘Whoso List to Hunt’ by Sir Thomas Wyatt is one of the best-
known examples of a Petrarchan sonnet. These lines follow
the Petrarchan or Italian sonnet form and discuss the
obsessive pursuit of a “hind,” or female deer. This deer (a
symbol for a woman) is always out of reach. The speaker
tells the listener they are welcome to give the hunt a go, but
it is really useless. No one is going to be able to catch her.

• Shakespearean Sonnet
• The first, the Shakespearean sonnet, follows the rhyme
scheme of ABABCDCDEFEFGG. These lines take a reader
through a problem (usually in the first eight or twelve lines)
and then present a solution in the final six or two lines,
depending on the poem. There are a few moments within
the 154 sonnets that Shakespeare wrote over his lifetime
where he deviated from this pattern, but they are few and
far between.

• Shakespearean Sonnet Example
• Although there are many wonderful and famous
Shakespearean poems, ‘Sonnet 18,’ also know as ‘Shall I
compare thee to a summer’s day?’ is perhaps the best-loved.
This poem conforms to the rhyme scheme that Shakespeare
is known for ABABCDCDEFEFGG and uses
iambic pentameter. In it, the speaker describes the Fair
Youth as better than even the best parts of summer. He is
“more lovely and more temperate.” His face is like an
“eternal summer” because he has been immortalized in
Shakespeare’s poetry.
