28、Gathering C. Festival for family Gathering D. Edmontons Downtown Park C - 5 - Any imaginative writing arranged in a pattern of lines may be a poem. The lines often rhyme, but not always. Most poems also have rhythm. And they use words in ways that get you to notice and feel things in a special way.
29、We usually divide poetry into two main types: narrative poems and lyric poems. Narrative poems tell a story. One of the oldest kinds of narrative poem is the epic. An epic is a long verse tale that usually tells about a hero and the adventures of the hero. Lyric poems suggest an emotion or feeling.
30、They are usually shorter than narrative poems. The Japanese haiku is a kind of poem. It is only 17 syllables long. Lets look at At the Zoo. What features of poetry does it have? At the Zoo has a rhyme. Rhyme is the repeating of sounds at the end of words. Youll notice that the words at the end of li
31、nes two and fourthings and wingsrhyme. Lines six and eight, ending in too and zoo, also rhyme. The odd-numbered lines in the poem do not rhyme. This is one of many patterns of rhyme that poets may use. Perhaps you have noticed the rhythm of the lines. They have a beat, almost like music. The rhythm,
32、 or beat, of the lines in this poem is one-two-three (There are li-), one-two-three (-ons and roar-). Do you notice that you put an emphasis on every third syllable? Some words in a line begin with the same sound: biffalo-buffalo-bisons. This kind of repetition of sound adds to the music of a poem.
33、So do words that sound like what they mean, such as roaring. Apart from these details, At the Zoo creates a feeling. It suggests a happy young child. There are mispronounced words like potamus and nosserus. There are fanciful images like a bear with wings. These features create the mood of the poem.
34、 ( ) 27. The poem placed at the beginning is used . A. to prove a moral B. to introduce a zoo C. as warning D. as an example ( ) 28. Haiku should go to . A. narrative poems B. lyric poems C. sacred verses D. the epic ( ) 29. Which can be used to describe rhyme? A. It is repeating of sounds. B. It ex
35、ists in every poem. C. It is another kind of beat. D. It must create happy feelings. ( ) 30. Whats the best title of the passage? A. At the Zoo B. How to write a poem? C. Rhythm of poetry D.
