Lyrics

If I was a poem ill come in different forms

Depending on how you say me

I will have emotions flowing

When lyrics come together that’s when I’m born

Hypothetically speaking only id I was a poem

 

Ok I am a poem and here is some of my family

Let me introduce he to ballad because he tells stories

Haiku is just some Japanese poetry

Typically characterized by three qualities

Concrete, shape and visual

Poetic elements, line length, punctuation and syllables

Is all needed for me to feel completed

Because I am a poem and you know the list goes on

So how about alliteration or how about repition

That’s when you repeat the word or sound

that you constantly making

Then its onamtopeia a figurative language

And rhyme scheme

Keep you rhyming and saying things like

 

HOOK

 

If I was a poem ill come in different forms

Depending on how you say me

I will have emotions flowing

When lyrics come together that’s when I’m born

Hypothetically speaking only id I was a poem

 

Remember I’m a poem

And I brought a couple friends

Lyrical is a short poem that expresses feelings

Free verse is a type of poem that doesn’t rhyme

And a couplet rhyme but it states one idea using two lines

Can’t forget about sonnet it has fourteen line

Limerick is humorous but only five line

Blank verse contains fourteen syllables

I introduced you to my friends

Now practice them like rituals

Add symbolism as simple as a symbol

Tone and emotion it’s all about that feeling

Main idea the message you giving

Because if you don’t move the crowd

Then no snaps at the ending

HOOK

If I was a poem ill come in different forms

Depending on how you say me

I will have emotions flowing

When lyrics come together that’s when I’m born

Hypothetically speaking only id I was a poem
