Hi there. A poem's structure refers to its shape on the page, rhyme scheme, repetition, stanzas and so forth. Form relates issues such as whether or not the poem is, say, a ballad or such like, which has rules to follow such as line length, line numbers, rhyme scheme. A sonnet is a fourteen line poem expressing a single thought or idea. In English poetry the sonnet is composed of three quatrains and a couplet. A Haiku is a three line poem arranged in to five, seven and five syllables. Haikus suggest rather than tell or describe. Free verse is exactly that: no rules, no rhyme, or if there is it's irregular and unpredictable.

London By William Blake

I have to do an essay on this poem but i'm struggling to map my work. My teacher want a key question with minimum 2 parts with 3 sub part this is what i got

So my key question is How does Blacke critizes London's monarchy through a childish poem?

PART I -> a childish poem because a) it's talked about them b) it's short, short sentences b) Blake loves to take children's point of view

PART II -> critizes of London's government a) church is getting more and more black b) it makes people suffers face are 'marks of weakness" c) child labour

I don't really like my key question and my parts can you help me mapping my work ? pleasse

Why so much poetry on GCSE courses?

Students often struggle with the amount of poetry on most GCSE courses. Tell me how you feel about poetry … and more specifically about studying the stuff.
