1. In addition to evaluation poetry based on the 3 questions we discussed yesterday, we also have to evaluate it for what it is and is meant to be (after all this is a part of purpose). What I mean by "what it is meant to be" is the type of poem it is that includes form (what we have discussed already) and verse (what we will research today.
2. Define verse for poetry do enough research so that you fully understand this term.
3. There are 3 different types of verse we will look into: didactic, sentimental, and rhetorical. Take notes in your notebook on the 3 types use this prezi to help, or other sources listed here for more information.

5. Connect yesterday to today: how does the type of verse contribute to the level of merit of a poem? This poem is based upon the information you gathered today and yesterday. Use evidence to support your opinion.
*You can read critics/poets opinion on the topic here: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/articles/detail/68755

We can tell that the the purpose of this poem is to talk about God. The didactic verse of this poem is perfect in the sense that it helps the author accomplish what he was trying to do. It helps the speaker talk about and preach the word of God.
The didactic verse of this poem gives this poem a lot of merit in the sense that it accomplishes what it set out to do. This poem set out to preach about God and that is what it does.
Rhetorical Verse: this form of poem deals in generalities and usually uses a language more beautiful than it substance warrants

Uncommon me

Uncommon me
for what else do I have to lose?
Uncommon zeal

Uncommon me

http://www.poetrysoup.com/poems/short/rhetoric
This poem deals in the generality that poetry does not have to be fancy and rhetorical; however, the fact that the poet uses a rhetoric verse style builds an ironic effect. I do not believe that this poem has any merit because of its ironic effect. Picture this the pot says a good poem does not need to have rhetoric or be fany but uses a rhetoic poem.
Sentimentality verse: indulgence in emotion for emotion’s sake or expression of more emotion than an occassion warrants
I wish you were here
I'd hold you in my arms
And if you were near
I'd smile all the time
So lonely without you
The days are dragging on
http://hellopoetry.com/words/12670/sentimental/poems/
This poem’s overall message is that the speaker wishes his/her lover was in the arms of the speaker. So, we know this poem’s verse is that of a sentimentality verse. This poem does not obtain a lot of merit because it uses such simple language and it does not really express the longing of a lover want to be with his/her lover. The language needs to be more romantic and there is no real structure form like an English sonnet that would give it more of a romantic edge.
Using sentimental poetry, was it easy for you to figure out the message?
DeleteYes it was easy for me to find sentimentality poetry because it's emotion. And when reading you look for the situation in the poem of causing a heartbreak or any type of feelings for example "Death"

Didactic Poetry:
Example: September By: Joanne Kyger
https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/september
The didactic poetry role in this poem is allowing us to see the moral and provides us with knowledge of skills. It conveys a clear purpose to us readers.
Sentimental Poetry:
Example: Sentimental Atom Smash By:Darcie Dennigan
https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/sentimental-atom-smasher
The sentimental poetry role in this poem is allowing us to figure out the emotions throughout the poem. The sentimental poetry put the emotion right out there, instead of making the readers read in between the lines. You will also be able to figure out the emotion through the tone.
Rhetorical Poetry:
Example: Requiescat By: Matthew Arnold
https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/requiescat
The rhetorical poetry role in this poem uses a more advanced level of language. The diction is high and formal. The rhetorical allows the readers to read in between the lines because it does not come straight forward about the message.
This type of verse contribute to the level of merit because the poems have a meaning or purpose, not saying that all poems do not have a meaning. The overall point is that the poems follows the 3 major questions. The 3 major questions were: 1.What is the central purpose. 2. How fully has this purpose been accomplished? 3. How important is this purpose? Those 3 questions help us find the purpose and allows us to determine if a poem had a good level of merit.
I also agree with your idea of the merit of a poem.

4A: Sentimentality: http://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/a_spell_of_love_868955
A Spell of Love
Desire afire,
passions pulsating;
ardour, fervour
fascination,osculating.
Inflamed frenzy,
fervid fierenzy;
impetuous emotion,
devoted devotion.
Sentimental and sensuous,
animated oscilation;
infatuated,impassioned,
the rapture so personal,
a passion so natural.
By Brian Strand
Sentimentality is used primarily to stimulate emotions. The words used are emotionally fused, and add to the passion of the poem, the meaning of love.
4B: Rhetorical: http://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/a_21st_century_poet_847516
A 21st Century Poet
No longer submerged in seduction of a lover's tongue
left hanging out where no word is sung
defunct of function or fancy form
lost are the layers gradually getting you warm
Here and now before thoughts do pass
free flowing spewing out too fast
rhythm and rhyme left to chance
sterile simplicity caught in a trance
In a world caught up in instant gratification
what is the satisfaction
if feelings don't play a part
in your poetic art
A 21st century poet I heard him say
unrefined rhetoric put on display
By Tim Smith
Rhetorical verse is used to hide behind your true feelings while also expressing how you feel without expressing your emotions explicitly. Paired with an english sonnet, the use of rhetorical verse reinforces this poem’s meaning in a satirical manner, that poetry is free, no longer bound to fanciful terms.
4C: Didactic: http://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/the_problem_with_perfection_869575
The Problem with Perfection
While the rest of the world sees an elegant marble bust,
Close beloved ones see a pile of pitiful rubble,
Perfection is nothing but an elaborate illusion,
We must accept we are nothing but dust,
Openly reveal and accept our own vulnerability
Then we are free to break free from our bubble.
"Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground..." —Genesis 2:7
By Kim Bond
Didactic verse poetry is used to teach/preach. The use of didactic verse in this poem makes it clear that the narrator is trying to get a point across that they are vehement about, namely that we arose from dust and will return to dust, and nothing can change the fact that we are dust.
5. The type of verse connects to how the purpose of the poem is accomplished. They help answer the question of what the purpose is by the type of verse. If it is to tell someone something, or to convince them of something, a didactic poem is suggested. If the poem is to talk about something emotionally meaningful, a sentimental poem is suggested. To talk about something you don't particularly agree with and would wish to express so in a way that doesn’t so blatantly state that, or if you just want to be funny, a rhetorical verse poem is suggested.
I like how you used a bible verse to show an example of didactic.
Deletei agree with dimetrius because the type of verse does matter to an extent but the type of verse does not matter because I believe that a purpose is accomplished if it does what it is suppoed to do.
DeleteThe bible is a good example to use but my question is how do you think you use didactic in everyday life ?
DeleteWhile I agree with your answer, I would like to push your thoughts on if you determine verse before writing a poem, or while in the act of doing so.
Deletei do not have a personal example because i do not go around teaching/preaching. but, have you ever been to church? each and every one of pastor's sermon is didactic. the teachers use didactic everyday when they teach. because didactic is teaching.
Deletewhat do you mean Chrissy? challenge me how? and thanks. Dio'yi
DeleteSO, What?
ReplyDelete-----------------------
Neither of the three styles has more merit than the other. The verse is how the purpose of the poem is going to be told. A rhetorical verse poem can contain more merit than a didactic verse poem and vise versa. The way that a poet utilizes the form to convey a poem’s message is what makes a poem have a certain level of merit. Many critics believe that a poem has to be sentimental but the fact is that is just not true.The sentimental poem that I chose and analyzed did not have as much merit as the one I did for didactic in the fact that the didactic fully accomplished its goal to preach to us to god where as the sentimental poem just failed its expectations with bland diction and an unfixed form to talk about longing for someone. So like I stated previously the type of verse does not matter how it is utilized does.
Sorry, Johnny Boy, I disagree. Type of verse does matter. You can't use rhetorical verse when you are seriously trying to get a point across or if your intended audience is very literal. A didactic verse would work better. So, depending on HOW you want your purpose achieved, the type of style DOES matter.

Knowing that didactic is to preach or teach a message, the use of this in this poem is good to explain the message of how separation amongst us humans is bad. It also helps the poem’s function by giving it a natural chronological order to follow.

5. Seeing as how verse is a more advanced poetic device, just using it won’t credit any merit, but using it effectively would seeing as how to this shows some kind of advanced poetic understanding. Using it’s different subdivisions all have different requirements, but correct use of them all individual or whole, all credit some kind of merit. Such as if you use didactic, to explain a teching without just stating it is a task, while also doing so in a poem is even more a challenge, so being able to do so effectively (most important part) indefinitely rewards some merit. Overall being able to effectively use even one or more kinds of verse deserve some kind of merit to the author.

The purpose of the didactic verses in this poem is that is helps to make it seem more enchanting. It sounds really please to the ears when you listen to is and that contributes to the effectiveness of the poem.
The type of verse used in poetry evoke different emotions form the reader. Poems that are the most emotion filled typically have the most merit. I say this because more people are able to connect and relate to poems that are full of emotion. When I was reading Falling Leaves by Ralph Cheever I was more drawn into it than the other poems. The level of merit also depends on personal tastes as well.
I like the way you talked about verse but I think it is much more than the emotional aspect. verse can influence the way the reader interprets the intended message of the poem. verse can also ass dimension to the poem helping the reader take it more than just on the surface level

Sentimental Poem
“Tears of Love” by Lin Lane. The sentimental verse plays the function of making the poem stimulate the emotions of the reader, which is primarily the goal of the poem.

Evaluating Poetry: 3 types of Verse
Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night
by Dylan Thomas
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
—Saint Basil
Ths verse sets the tone for the rest of the poem, which is that of fighting. In the first stanza it gives you a clear message for the rest of the poem, there is no discrepancy. So the didactic in the poem helps the audience to understand the whole poem.
Take Me Back-http://www.poetrysoup.com/poems/best/sentimental
The sentimentality reinforces the sentimentals of the poem. The poem is about the speaker wanting to go back to his old days when things were all good and to the good times. The multiple emotions within the poem helps the audience to sympathize with the speaker.
The Wall-http://www.poetrysoup.com/poems/best/rhetoric
The rhetorical function within the poem emphasizes the emotions associated with what the speaker thinks about Trump and his wall. The large vernacular helps to help the audience to understand to what extremities the speaker thinks.
These functions of these various types of verses helps, in my opinion, emphasizes the merit of the poem. These different types of verses helps to connect to the more emotional side of the poem, helps the speaker the make a clear statement, especially with didactic, but also leaves it up to the reader to interpert, which also connect to the audience emotionally and mentally.
Is this all you believe verse helps?

Unspoken Wordsby Paul Callus (http://www.poetrysoup.com/poems/short/best.aspx)
The poem “Unspoken Words”, by Paul Callus meaning is the difficulty of admitting to your feelings. The fact that it is a sentimentality poem means that the experience is not fully explained, however you still get a sense of the emotions involved.
2. Bright Star by John Keats (http://www.poetryoutloud.org/poems-and-performance/poems/detail/44468)
The Poem “Bright Star” by John Keats meaning is the loyalty in a relationship between lovers. Keats over explains the concept of the loyalty by comparing it to to the Steadfastness of a star. Which shows the rhetorical verse.
3. If- by Rudyard Kipling
(https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems-and-poets/poems/detail/46473)
The poem “If-” by Rudyard Kipling meaning is mastering or learning all contradictions of life. The poem doesn’t have a positive nor a negative tone, it just states the point of mastering all of life’s contradictions.

The poem uses emotions as a sole cause of “explosive” situations, which the speaker associates the the fire that burns with blindness. The smoke it creates a place where instinct rules and snap decisions are normal, no time to think it through. This basically over uses emotion to prove the point.
Rhetorical
The Great Figure by William Carlos Williams

This poem attempts to teach its audience the way of thinking that speaker acknowledges and gives great consideration to the way in which it decides to persuade you that it is right. This form leads more to persuasion and storytelling than the previous two.
The type of verse can greatly impact the meaning behind a poem, and can affect the theme and emotions conveyed to the audience. For instance the sentimentality poem is meant to convey heavy emotion and have the reader feel that emotion as well, while a rhetoric poem makes you feel the experience yourself. These traits embody a poem’s core foundations giving a poem merit.

Sentimentality
Home Sweet Home
Haven where solicitous parents hover
over sick little ones and dispense advice to
mature ones; an emotional stronghold, not merely an
edifice one enters for physical shelter.
Sanctuary whose personality changes
with time, paralleling inhabitants' metamorphoses,
embellished with evidences of the pride and sentimentality
each possesses, those preferences each
thrives on as part and parcel of existence.
Houses become homes when those within love them and
one another--nurturing, respecting, mending,
maintaining that rapport and awareness
essential in relationships within and beyond walls.

The Shoes of Another
What does one do, when they feel forgotten?
What good are tears unseen or sobs unheard
and when the tree of liberty seems to be rotten
because they’ve been dismissed and rejected at a word?
What does one do, when they’re silenced
for viewing the world through their own eyes?
What does one do when they’re trapped and tied down
when they’re kicked and there’s no help around?
What does one do, when frightened?
When chains are thrown o’er them and tightened?
When prayers are raised but seem unheard
when one feels abandoned and alone in the world?
What does one do, when self-evident truths
get wiped away in anonymous booths,
and the winners, gloat and show no mercy
because the people have spoken
and whatever one does, will bring controversy
so tell me…what does one do?
What does one do, when threatened?
When dismayed or betrayed and their back to the blade
and the liberty bell is cracked, and rings no more
at least not for them, and not on these shores,
because for some it’s better to be right,
then to worry for others, or to fight in their fight.
So I ask, what does one do when singled out
for their religion, or color or body or mind
when the rest of the world seems so suddenly blind?
What does one do when their neighbors turn
an apathetic eye to the border wall
symbolically standing as a reminder to all
that unalienable only applies to un-aliens?
That life, liberty and pursuit of happiness
are not rights at all, but prizes to earn.
You should have chosen more thoughtfully where to be born
if you wanted rights beyond struggle and scorn.
What does one do, when freedom’s flame dims out;
when lady liberty gets smothered in a pompous mist?
What does one do to pretend it’s ok
when the rhetoric prevailing on any given day
is a torrent of doubt about their hard-earned place
and could orphan their children, and threatens to chase
them all “back whence they came.”
Tell me, from your anonymous place,
what would you do?
Would you peacefully sit and hope for the best,
and put your trust in your fellow man?
Would you “come together as one”
with those who voted that you don’t matter?
Would you wave freedom’s banner aloft in the breeze,
as your freedom was being seized?
No seriously, what would you do?
