By Cara Torres





Nowadays, our there are many dangers and challenges around us especially in the news where most of the topics seems to be about tragedies, disasters and controversies. Not just in newspapers, but in media vehicles such as the internet, mobile phones, TV and radio. With all these happening around us, we can read joyful poems to help bring back the goodness in our lives.



Poems are collated words that is used to express an idea or emotion, which uses metaphors, imagery, or sound patterns to send the message to the audiences. They are made up of verses rather than prose. It has many elements that contribute to the effectiveness and beauty of the literature such as rhythm, sound, line and stanza, voice, figure of speech, and many others.



One element, which is the form, is usually very flexible when it comes to modern poetry than previous ones and is less structured in the contemporary times. However, it is easily distinguishable from proses which because it still has the basic structure of its form and it is found in nearly all free verse. Even classic styles do not conform strictly to the standards so that can create emphasis and effects in their works.



Form has three main types such as descriptive, lyric and narrative poems, and there are many others like haiku, limericks, ballads, sonnets, free verse and many others. Line of words that are grouped together are called stanzas, which are divided by an empty line or a space and it is equivalent to paragraphs in essays. In standard form, stanzas have a uniform number of lines, though it is not necessarily followed.



A way to enhance the effect of the poem is through sound play or patterns, which is very complex itself. Examples of these are alliteration, rhyme, assonance, repetition, onomatopoeia, euphony, consonance and refrain. The most commonly used among them is the rhyme where the syllables at the end of each line is similar to each other or sounds alike.



Rhythm is an oral pattern that is created when the poet chooses where the stresses on each phrase is placed. Metric is the pattern of these stresses in each line that is best displayed when the work is read aloud and it will not sound steady. It has different tones due to the rise and fall of the voice, which is similar to singing and most people do this unconsciously.



Figurative language is how your choose your words to make a comparison between different things, senses, and even emotions by using the figures of speech. Some of these are metaphor, hyperbole, personification, allegory, irony, and symbolism. On the other hand, imagery is how words are used to convey sensory experiences in vivid detail to create a concrete mental image of the subject.



It can include vivid details on sensory experiences of touch, sight, sound, smell, and taste that is beyond normal description. The voice of the work refers to how it was presented to the audience as in first or third person. Although in many poems the poet is the one speaking, there are instances where the poet and the speaking character are not the same individual.



Tone refers to the way the author present his work in terms of the feel of the work or towards the subject. It can indicate a feeling of happiness, sadness, confusion, amusement, anger, and other emotions. As such, joyful poems can bring feeling of hope, love and happiness.
