    .

     In my opinion, poetry is a written work where we can use the right choice of words by using various figures of speech, the goal is to be able to express our emotions even with simple sentences but actually have a deep meaning

There are some genre of english poetry, such as :

     Narrative poetry

     Narrative poetry is a genre of poetry that tells a story. Broadly it subsumes epic poetry, but the term “narrative poetry” is often reserved for smaller works, generally with more appeal to human interest. Narrative poetry may be the oldest type of poetry.

       Example : 

(Anne Carson, "Autobiography of Red")

 “…Small, red, and upright he waited,

gripping his new bookbag tight

in one hand and touching a lucky penny inside his coat pocket with the other,

while the first snows of winter

floated down on his eyelashes and covered the branches around him and silenced

all trace of the world.”

     Epic poetry

Epic poetry is a genre of poetry, and a major form of narrative literature. This genre is often defined as lengthy poems concerning events of a heroic or important nature to the culture of the time. It recounts, in a continuous narrative, the life and works of a heroic or mythological person or group of persons.

Example :

Of all creatures that breathe and move upon the earth,

nothing is bred that is weaker than man.

(Homer, The Odyssey)

 

3.  Dramatic poetry

Dramatic poetry is drama written in verse to be spoken or sung, and appears in varying, sometimes related forms in many cultures.

Example :

 "The Dream Called Life" by Pedro Calderon de la Barca

DREAM it was in which I found myself.

And you that hail me now, then hailed me king,

In a brave palace that was all my own,

Within, and all without it, mine; until,

Drunk with excess of majesty and pride,

Methought I towered so big and swelled so wide

That of myself I burst the glittering bubble

Which my ambition had about me blown

And all again was darkness. Such a dream

As this, in which I may be walking now,

Dispensing solemn justice to you shadows,

Who make believe to listen; but anon

Kings, princes, captains, warriors, plume and steel,

Ay, even with all your airy theater,

May flit into the air you seem to rend

 

Lyric poetry

Lyric poetry is a genre that, unlike epic and dramatic poetry, does not attempt to tell a story but instead is of a more personal nature. Poems in this genre tend to be shorter, melodic, and contemplative. Rather than depicting characters and actions, it portrays the poet’s own feelings, states of mind, and perceptions. Refer to my analysis of lyric poetry and its association with lyrics.

Example : 

 By none other than William Shakespeare. Here's his famous "Sonnet Number 18:"

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate.

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And summer's lease hath all too short a date.

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

And often is his gold complexion dimmed,

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed.

There are some of Indonesian Poetry, such as :

Elegy

An elegy is a mournful, melancholy or plaintive poem, especially a lament for the dead or a funeral song. The term “elegy,” which originally denoted a type of poetic metre (elegiac metre), commonly describes a poem of mourning.

Example :

Sia-Sia²
Karya: Chairil Anwar

Penghabisan kali itu kau datang
Membawa kembang berkarang
Mawar merah dan melati putih
Darah dan suci
Kau tebarkan depanku
Serta pandang yang memastikan: untukmu

Lalu kita sama termangu
Saling bertanya: apakah ini?
Cinta? Kita berdua tak mengerti

Sehari kita bersama. Tak gampir-menghampiri.

Ah! Hatiku yang tak mau memberi

Mampus kau dikoyak-koyak sepi.

Februari, 1943

Balada

Ballad poetry is poetry that tells the story of human life and life, through thoughts and feelings that have a universal cultural core and are not tied to a particular time and space.

Example :

Balada Orang-orang Tercinta
Karya: W.S. Rendra

Kita bergantian menghirup asam
Batuk dan lemas terceruk
Marah dan terbaret-baret
Cinta membuat kita bertahan
dengan secuil redup harapan

Kita berjalan terseok-seok
Mengira lelah akan hilang
di ujung terowongan yang terang
Namun cinta tidak membawa kita
memahami satu sama lain

Kadang kita merasa beruntung
Namun harusnya kita merenung
Akankah kita sampai di altar
Dengan berlari terpatah-patah
Mengapa cinta tak mengajari kita
Untuk berhenti berpura-pura?

Kita meleleh dan tergerus
Serut-serut sinar matahari
Sementara kita sudah lupa
rasanya mengalir bersama kehidupan
Melupakan hal-hal kecil
yang dulu termaafkan

Mengapa kita saling menyembunyikan
Mengapa marah dengan keadaan?
Mengapa lari ketika sesuatu
membengkak jika dibiarkan?
Kita percaya pada cinta
Yang borok dan tak sederhana
Kita tertangkap jatuh terperangkap
Dalam balada orang-orang tercinta

Epigram

Epigram is one of the poems which contains the teachings of life or guidance to the truth.

Example :

Dalam Doaku

Pada suatu hari nanti
Di hamparan sajadah
Ragaku terkapar jiwaku melayang
Suaraku kian senyap menggema
Dzikir yang bersitahankan
Rasa gejolak yang entah batasnya
Namun aku terfakur dalam kemasyukan
Cinta yang tak’kan pernah selesai
Dengan kalimat AMIN

Himne

hymn poetry is poetry that contains praise to the person being praised

Example : 

Puisi Fia Afridah "Bangsaku"

Aku kecil namun aku tak bisa dianggap kecil

Aku lemah namun aku tak bisa menyerah

Selama nyawa masih melekat di dalam raga

Dan suara detak jantung msih terasa

Ku akan terus berlari mengejar sang surya

Walaupun aku miskin bukan berarti aku tak punya

Dengan semangat empat lima

Dengan suara lantang mendekaKu terus kobarkan sang saka

Demi bangsaku tercinta

My simple dreams

My overall goals and dreams are simple.. To be happy and have success beyond money but with love and happiness. I also dream to make a difference in the young minds that I will influence. I want to be a great parent and wife as well… A role model that they can be proud of and someone my parents admire. I just want to be happy and know that in my life I did all I could to be the best I could be. But where ever I am in my future I hope I am proud of my accomplishments and I hope I can become the person I dream to be now. A person with a continued kind heart, loving, caring, strong, and most of all determined for change.

the same thing with my brother

my name is ifah and i have a brother named ludvi. we have the same hobby, our hobby is playing playstasion or Ps. when I was in elementary school my mother bought us Ps2.and we played a shootout. at that time we completed the mission within one month. It's so long because we are still amateurs in shooting games and also still do not understand the correct strategy in a game. then, when I entered junior high school. my dad bought me Ps4 as a gift because I received a favorite junior high school. at that moment I invited my brother to play call of duty. why did I choose that game. because I already have a prior basis for playing shots. And besides how to play it is not much different from my previous game. only modif is more modern as time changes. I like games that boost concentration and adrenaline. and one of them is shooting

My Hobby

I was interested in badminton when I was 10 years old, because my family included sports lovers. and the sport that is often played is badminton. when I was young I was taught playing techniques, how to hold the right racket, how to focus on the ball. so that the cock does not fall to its own place. when I was in elementary school, I was included in the inter-school championship and thanks God I won. since then I have been more diligent in training my abilities. Until now I am still playing badminton, but not as active as before, because I have gone to college and many assignments that I have to complete

My Favorite food

Actually I like all of kinds of food. Almost all of the food to be my favorite. I love fried rice, but it has reason because I mostly eat fried rice. Previously I don’t like the fried rice, but because my mother used to often make it for breakfast before going to school. I also become love to fried rice. Formerly, when my mom makes breakfast fried rice in the morning I rarely spends the fried rice which made ​​my mother, but over time I try to spend it for breakfast. I make my habits to finish my breakfast every my mom make fried rice because I often become weak rather when Monday comes I must finish my breakfast because I have ceremony flag. Now I really liked the fried rice. I do not have a favorite place for fried rice customers because I can cook by self and with my own creations. In the other hand, my brother often brought fried rice from the job to home. But I prefer the fried rice that I have created by self. I do not like to eat fried rice is already cold, so every time I finished cooking fried rice. I devoured it quickly so that I eat fried rice is not cold. If the fried rice was cold, I rarely devoured. Sometimes I reheat fried rice was cold; sometimes I give to my brother who ate it because he also likes to eat fried rice. Whenever I cook fried rice, I always try new creations. I often add cabbage, sometimes sprout into fried rice and never miss the sausages and corned beef in my fried rice.

My Boring Holiday At Home

When holiday was coming, I didn’t have any plan for it. So, I just stayed at home to spend my two weeks of college break. I didn’t feel excited at all because it was so boring.

I started the day by waking up at about 6 o’clock. It was later than my usual habit. Then I took a bath to freshen my body. After that, I played my favorite enemy strike games on my computer until it almost midday. Then I had lunch to recover my energy for helping my parents to clean the house. I also didn’t forget the homework that my lecture gave me. I did it at 07.30 pm. After I finished my homework, I dined because I was so hungry. Then I watched my favorite shows on YouTube all night long. I kept awake till late night during my holiday and went to bed at 12 pm.

That was all about my boring holiday. Although it was just an ordinary holiday, at least I could refresh my mind from the daily college activities.

Noun Phrase

An object phrase is a phrase where the main word is a noun with other words that describe the noun.
Formation of Noun Phrase
The phrases of objects can be formed by arrangement of words like the following:

1. Article + Noun
a) Indifinite Article + Noun
In the previous material I explained about indifinite articles and Noun Phrase can be formed by the existence of the article a and an before the noun.
Example:
a girl an apple a university

The series of words a girl is a noun phrase, a explains the noun girl; girl is the main word (headword) in the phrase, a is the word that describes the word girl.

b) Difinite Article + Noun
the definition of the Definite article is the article.
Example:
the house the book the boys the pens

The string of words above him is the phrase object. The describes house nouns, book, boys, and pens. House words, book, boys, pens are the main words and "the" explains the main words.

2. Demonstrative Adjective + Noun
It has also been explained that some demonstrative adjective words include the words of this, these, that, and those.
Example:
This song is that those who say that strangers are tragedies this liquid

3. Possessesive Adjective + Noun and Possessive noun + noun
What is meant by possessive adjective are words that express the owner of something, for example my, your, his, her, its, our, their, jean's, Mr.Jones', etc.
Example:
Her computers your ideas Toni's pen

4. Numerals (number words)
Numerals are defined as one, two, three, ten, etc.
Example:
two women (= two women) Four members (= four members) Three books (= three books)

5. Quantifier + noun
Is a word that states the number of objects, for example some, any, much, many, a lot of, few, a little, etc.
Example:
some brothers much money many pencils

6. Adjective + Noun
Adejective (= Adjective) is a word that describes an object in other words explaining the nature of the object. Adjective example; big (big), tall (tall), old (old), far (far), angry (angry), sad (sad), etc.

big houses tall men clever students

the word "big" is an adjective that clarifies the noun "houses"
other ways of forming a noun phrase include:

Article + adjective + noun (example: a tall man, the angry birg, etc.)
In the example of "a tall man", the word "a" is the article, the word "tall" is adjective, all these words describe "man".

Article + Adverb + adjective + noun (example; a really nice vacation)
In the "a really nice vacation" noun phrase, the word "a" is an article, "really" is an adverb, "nice" is adjective, all these words describe the noun "vacation"
Quantifier + adjective + noun
Example:
some pretty girls a few new pens

the word "some" is a quantifier, "pretty" is an adjective, all the words describe the noun "girls"

Using Can i, May i, Could i

Can I..?

"Can I...?" is the most casual way to ask for permission. It's common for talking to friends, coworkers, and family members:

Ø Can I see it?

Ø Can I get something to drink?

May I...?

"May I...?" is the most formal way to ask for permission in English. Formal language is useful for talking to strangers and when there's a large power gap between you and the person you're talking to.

You can ask a stranger for a small favor like this:

Ø  May I borrow your pen for a second? 

    Some teachers in elementary, junior high, and high school require their students to ask for permission using     "May I...?"

Student: Can I go to the bathroom?

Teacher: "May I...?"

Student: May I go to the bathroom?

Teacher: Yes, you may.

Could I...?

"Could I...?" is a good way to ask for permission when you need to ask for something that's a "bigger" request. In other words, you don't feel as comfortable asking for it. For example, you might ask your sister:

      Ø  Could I borrow your other car when I'm in town?

"Could I...?" is not as formal as "May I...?" but it's better for big requests.

To, Too, Two

What’s the difference between to, too, and two? It’s not too difficult to use them, once you take the time to learn what they mean – and do some practicing, too

To

To has two functions. First, as a preposition, in which case it always precedes a noun.

Ø  I’m going to the store

Ø  He went to Italy

Ø  This belongs to David

Secondly, to indicates an infinitive when it precedes a verb.

Ø  I need to study

Ø  We want to help

Ø  He’s going to eat

 
Too

Too also has two uses. First, as a synonym for "also":

Ø  Can I go too?

Ø  He went to France too

Ø  I think that’s Paul’s book too

Secondly, too means excessively when it precedes an adjective or adverb.

Ø  I’m too tired

Ø  He’s walking too quickly

Ø  I ate too much

 
Two

Two is a number.

Ø  One, two, three…

Ø  I have two cars

Ø  She ate two pieces of pie

Have and Has

Have dan Has, sebagai kata kerja mempunyai arti yang sama, yaitu "mempunyai". Ini penjelasan singkat pemakaian "have" dan "has"

1. HAVE

I have.....       (Saya punya......)
you have....    (Kamu punya....)
We have....
They have.....

The boys have....
The cats have...

contoh kalimat:
I have a book.
You have 3 apples.
They have a big house.
Toni and Tono have new pens.
The boys have some books.
The cats have a big house

untuk membuat kalimat negatif yang menyatakan "tidak mepunyai" kita memerlukan "do not".

I do not have a book.
You do not have 3 apples.
They do not have a big house.
Toni and Tono do not have new pens.
The boys do not have some books.
The cats do not have a big house.

Kalimat tanya
Do you have a book? Yes, I do/ No, I don't
Do they have a big house? Yes, They do/ No, they don't
Do Toni and Tono have new pens? Yes, They do/ No, they don't.
Do the boys have some books? Yes, they do/ No, they don't.
Do the cats have a big house? Yes, they do/ No, They don't.

What book do Toni and Tono have?

2. HAS

She has...
He has...

Robi has...
The cat has...

"has" hanya digunakan untuk subject-subject seperti di atas, jadi kita tidak boleh mengatakan;

I has...
You has...
They has...

Contoh pemakaian "Has" dalam kalimat positif.

She has a book.
He has 2 cars.
It has a fish.
Toni has a new computer.
Tina has  beautiful hair.
The cat has a fish.

untuk merubah kalimat diatas menjadi negatif, kita memerluka "does not/ doesn't" kemudian "has" harus dirubah menjadi "have". Dengan kata lain "has" hanya dipakai dalam kalimat positif saja, dan akan berubah menjadi "have" jika dalam kalimat negatif dan kalimat introgatif.

She has a book.
She doesn't have a book.
He has 2 cars
He doesn't have 2 cars.

ADJECTIVE ORDER

    The use of adjectives is essential when trying to describe a noun or pronoun.  Good writers and speakers are able to use adjectives to create clear, mental images for the reader or listener.  As you continue to work on your English, don’t be afraid to use multiple adjectives to describe something. Using more than three physically descriptive type adjectives in sequence to describe one noun or pronoun would sound a little awkward.   When using multiple adjectives in a sequence, you must be aware of the correct adjective order.  The proper order of adjectives is listed below along with some examples for each category.

1. Determiners – a, an, the, my, your, several, etc.
2. Opinion – lovely, boring, stimulating, etc.
3. Size – tiny, small, huge, etc.
4. Shape – round, square, rectangular, etc.
5. Age – old, new, ancient, etc.
6. Color – red, blue, green, etc.
7. Origin – British, American, Mexican, etc.
8. Material – gold, copper, silk, etc.
9. Purpose-dinning, meeting, running, swimmimg

Here are some example

1. she has beautiful big eyes : Opinion-Size
2. The large square dining table was decorated with white candles and beautiful vases of white roses. : Size-Shape-Purpose
3. My uncle had his old wooden chairs repaired yesterday. : Age-Material
4. These delicious Italian dishes don’t use tomatoes in any form. : Opinion-Origin
5. She takes a small round white pill with breakfast every day. : Determiner-Size-Shape-Color

PART OF SPEECH

On this occasion I will discuss about Part of Speech material. Those of you who have probably just used English and don't know that a sentence in English has parts called Part of Speech. This is also important to learn for those who are just learning English because we need to understand the parts of the sentence that make up the sentence in full and correctly.

So What is Part of Speech?

In grammar, the parts that make up a sentence in English are called part of speech. There are 8 parts in Part of Speech, namely noun, verb, adjective, adverb, pronoun, preposition, conjunction, and interjection.

Parts of Speech

1. Noun 

Noun is a word that functions to name an object such as people, objects, animals, places, and other things. Examples such as paint, doctor, school, Bandung, pencil, bed, sugar, hair, etc.

Example of sentences:

- I buy a new computer today 

- Your hair is so beautiful, do you go to saloon for treatment? 

2. Verb 

Verb is a word that shows an action from someone or subject. The example is the study, drink, eat, drive, make, read, write, swim, walk, run, jump, etc.

Example of sentences:

- I study everyday at school 

- She is looking for her shoes 

3. Adjective

Adjective is a word that describes the nature of a noun or pronoun. His example is white, black, long, short, handsome, beautiful, smart, big, small, clever, smart, cute, and so forth.

Example of sentences:

- Rani is so beautiful, especially when she is wearing red hat 

- My paint has brown fur, It is so soft and shiny

4. Adverb

Adverb is a word that describes verb, adjective, and other adverb. His example is beautifully, quickly, honestly, fairly, always, usually, angrily, slowly, and others.

Example of sentences:

- She sings beautifully

- I always eat my foods slowly

5. Pronoun 

Pronoun is a pronoun for objects (noun). This noun is used so that we do not mention noun repeatedly. Examples of katan pronouns are I, you, they, we, he, it, that, those, these, this, and so forth.

Example of sentences:

- You will come to my house tonight, right? 

- He is really sleepy, so he slept in class 

6. Preposition

Preposition is a word used to indicate the location of an object or our position. Examples of preposition words are in, on, at, below, above, in front of, behind, near, around, and so on.

Example of sentences:

- My house is beside the mosque

- There is mouse under the table 

7. Conjunction

Conjunction is a word used to connect words, phrases, clauses, or sentences. Examples of conjunctions are, For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, and So or that can be abbreviated as FANBOYS so that we are easier to remember.

Example of sentences:

- Do you like pink or blue? 

- Both mother and baby were treated in the hospital 

8. Interjection

Interjection is a short speech that describes a person's emotions or feelings. For example, Oh !, Ouch !, Eww !, Yummy !, Ahaa !, Oops !, Hurray !, Yippee !, and so on.

Example of sentences:

- Wow! Your dress is so beautiful! 

- Ouch! My knee is hurt, be careful. 

Auxiliary verbs (can and could)

Auxiliary verbs which can also be called modal verbs. In English we know a lot of modal verbs, for example: cans, must, have to, has to, may etc. Now we focus on the modal verb can and can.

Can be used for:
* Express ability
Example:
^I can swim.
^I can swim. He can speak English
^He can speak English. Ron can drive     a car.
^Roni can drive a car.

* Used to make sentence requests / requests
We usually use question sentences if we want to ask someone to do something.
Example:
^Can you turn on the TV?
^Can you help me?
^Can you be quiet!

* Permission
We usually use cans to request or give permission.
Example:
A: Can I smoke in this room?
B: You can't smoke here.

For more details, note the formula for using cans below:

Positive Sentence
S + can + V1
Example:
^She can play soccer.
^They can swim.

Negative sentence
S + cannot / can't + V1
example:
^She can't play soccer.
^They can't swim.

Interrogative sentence
Can + S + V1
example:
^Can you sing a song? Yes, I can / No, I can't
^Can she play soccer? Yes, She can / No, She can't
^Can they swim? Yes, They can / No, They can't

Could be used for:
* Past / past shapes of cans, can be used to explain abilities in the past.
Example:
^I could swim when I was 5 years old. ^Toni could speak 7 languages.

To change the sentences into negative sentences, just add "notes" after the can.

^I could not swim when I was 5 years old.
^Toni Couldn't speak 7 languages.

* To make a sentence request / request and also an order / order
In this case if we use could in a command sentence or request, it will look formal or more polite when compared to using a can.
Example:
^Could you help me, please?
^Could you turn on the Tv, please? ^Could you tell me where the hospital is, please?

THE SIMPLE PRESENT : YES/NO QUESTIONS

Yes no question is question calling for a short answer of yes or no. We just need to say yes or no to answer the question. The answer “yes” asserts a positive answer that make a positive sentence and the answer ”no” asserts the negative one.
