Poetry can be found all around us! Not only are poetic elements used in poems but also music lyrics and novels.
Can you think of other places poetic elements can be found?
Poetry in Novels
Although poetry can stand on its own there are also many novels that are comprised solely of poems. A great example of this type of literature is Helen Frost's Keehsa's House. The poem-story uses sestinas and sonnets( for more information on the forms visit: www.poemofquotes.com/articles/poetry_forms.php) to explore the minds of teens. Their stories touch issues of race, class, and residence; encompass pregnancy, responsibility, addiction, homosexuality, abuse, neglect, abandonment, and delinquency.
