For poetry, students are going to create poetry and verses. It is used to invoke feeling and emotion into text also used to stir the creator's imagination with the rhythmic metaphors. Poetry literature prioritizes the structure form, rhythm & sound, figurative language, emotional & negative impact, and distinction from prose.
