There are five fundamental characteristics
distinguish poetry from prose:
(1) using the poetic line rather than the sentence
the primary unit;
(2) relying more on images than in abstractions;
(3) cultivating the sound of words;
(4) developing rhythms of language; and
(5) creating density by implying far more than is
stated."

A poetic form is a set of rules a poem should
follow. These rules might vary, depending on the
type of poetry the writer wishes to create. They tell
the number of lines and stanzas the poem should
have, the poetic meter and the rhyme scheme that
should be used, and the subject matter that the
poem should focus on.

When tranquillity conjured my atmosphere

Remnants of concepts are forming
Circulating inside the depths of my brain

It wanted to travel, they don’t want to stop
It wanted to go out, needed to be seen
But how, why? With what means?

A fire burning from the very depth

Sonnet 1
José Garcia Villa
First, a poem must be magical,
Then musical as a sea gull
It must be a brightness moving
And hold secret a bird’s flowering
It must be slender as a bell,
And it must hold fire as well
It must have the wisdom of 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 it would like to hover
God, smiling from the poem’s cover

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
‘The ship was cheered, the harbourcleared,
Merrily did we drop
Below the kirk, below the hill,
Below the lighthouse top.
The Sun came up upon the left,
Out of the sea came he!
And he shone bright, and on the right
Went down into the sea.

The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe
‘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 some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“’Tissome visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—
Only this and nothing more.”

Ballad of the Cool Fountain(Anonymous Spanish poetess (15th century))
Fountain, coolest fountain,
Cool fountain of love,
Where all the sweet birds come
For comforting–but one,
A widow turtledove,
Sadly sorrowing.
At once the nightingale,
That wicked bird, came by,
And spoke these honiedwords:
"My lady, if you will,
I shall be your slave."
"You are my enemy:
Begone, you are not true!
Green boughs no longer rest me,
Nor any budding grove.

Petrarchan Sonnet

How Do I Love Thee? by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
(Petrarchan/Italian Sonnet)
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 every day'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 seemed to lose
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.

Sonnet" by Billy Collins (Modern Sonnet)
All we need is fourteen lines, well, thirteen now,
and after this next one just a dozen
to launch a little ship on love's storm-tossed seas,
then only ten more left like rows of beans.
How easily it goes unless you get Elizabethan
and insist the iambic bongos must be played
and rhymes positioned at the ends of lines,
one for every station of the cross.
But hang on here while we make the turn
into the final six where all will be resolved,
where longing and heartache will find an end,
where Laura will tell Petrarch to put down his pen,
take off those crazy medieval tights,
blow out the lights, and come at last to bed.

The Waking
“I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Of those so close beside me, which are you?
God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there,
And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the Tree; but who can tell us how?
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do
To you and me; so take the lively air,
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.“

trembling the soft dainty petals
while dancing to its tune
stood a cherry blossom
young and free
