26th October

I think that poetry has remained popular over centuries and many generations because it is an excellent and effective way to communicate with people. Poetry has also remained popular over the centuries because it can also be used for entertainment as wailliam shakespeare has done in his theatre productions.

One of the most popular forms of poetry today has gotta be rhyme or rythm because we see it in our everyday lives on the television or on banners and billboards.

Poetry doesnt really play a big role in our lives today because we can communicate without it and its not like we need poetry to communicate. However poetry can be used in our everyday lives sometimes to try and help to communicate or get our point with others in a different way. Or you can write some poetry to express your feelings with others but not by having to speak to them about it.

One bit that appeals to me most in poetry is the message that is under the words if you know what i mean like you can read a peice of poetry and at first it doesn't make sense but if you read it again nd break it down there could be a really nice message inside of it.

I enjoy both reading and writing rhyme and rythm poetry because it is the two that i feel comfortable with. I like it how in rhyme you can just flow through it easily and find new words and meanings for things and words that you may have never known could have rhymed together.


haha um the only 2 poems i know of the top of my head due to television is the paint supplies advertisement and the adelaide furniture and electrical one because it has both rhyme and rythm in it and gets stuck in ur head easily.

Friday 19th October

The quotation means that we don't write poetry for nothing we write it for a meaning and that poetry can express many things such as love and romance without it being written in a boring peice of prose writing. I think this because it is what the quoate is trying to say and what i personally think potry is.

I would have to agree with this statement poetry is god to read sometimes but not most of it because it only expresses feeling and passion mainly and is used to get points accross in a different way. However poetry can also be used for advertisements on the television or newspaper to try sell a product or promote a business such as the lube mobile advertisement. There are also many different types of poetry for different emotions that you want to get accross like rhyme and rythm can be put together to make a catchy television advertisment that gets stuck in your head.

My 2 examples of poetry are:

my first example of poetry is the carlton draught ad song "it's a big ad" because it uses many different types of poetry that is effective such as a bit of rhyme which makes the poetry so affective. this would have to be written as poetry and not prose because it would be boring and dull without it being a poem and wouldnt be as affective.


my second example is the lube mobile which i personally think is the best one due to me having it stuck in my head all the time. the lube mobile song is good because it uses a lot of repetition and rythm which makes it catchy and at the end you remember the little kid saying 13 30 32 which is there phone number. so if you ever got stuck some where and needed a mechanic you could remember the catchy bit at the end 13 30 32 :) this is one that would have to definately be poetry to work because it sets the emotion and it uses repetition to get the phone number stuck in your head without this being a peice of poetry you would probably hear the number but it wouldnt stick.
