ELEMENTS OF POETRY

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
SITUATION - The situation is the context in which the speaker or character of the poem finds him - or herself involved.

This is roughly equivalent to setting and plot in fiction writing. 



SYNTAX - Syntax refers to the structure of language in a poem. A poem's lines may be long or short, simple or complex.

*** In general we look to the line length, or the shape of the lines and stanzas as being related somehow to the poem's theme.
