Features of Poems:

• 
  Poems have meaning. Poems can describe an interesting place or person, tell a story or explain feelings.
  
• 
  Poems have sounds. Poems sound different from other types of writing. Poems may have rhyming words, a regular rhythm like music, words with repeated sounds, or even words that sound like their meaning.
  
• 
  Poems have images. Poems create pictures in our mind, called images. Images often refer to our sense of sight, smell, sound, taste and touch. An image may describe something, or it may compare one thing to another. Images help you see something as if it is really there.
  
• 
  Poems have lines. Poems have lines that may be long or short, and can be made up of whole sentences or sentence fragments. Some poems have lines arranged in stanzas. A stanza is a group of lines that are arranged in a definite pattern. In other poems, the lines make a picture or shape to illustrate the topic.
  
• 
  Poems have patterns. Poems have patterns of letters, syllables and words. These patterns often help you to hear the rhythm of a poem. Some types of poems have patterns with a particular number of syllables in each line, and others have words repeated throughout the poem.
