While reading this chapter, I found it most confusing to separate poetry and verse. They are so similar, and are often, incorrectly, used interchangeably. I am guilty of this too! It is very important as educators, that we know the material inside and out before teaching it to our students. I made the chart below to help myself, and others, distinguish the differences!
Poetry
|
Verse
|
-Unique sense of contained energy
-Intense
-Intricate combination of sounds, meanings, and arrangement of words to call attention to something in a fresh and compelling manner
|
-Much less intense than poetry
-Often is amusing
-Meant to delight
