Why should writers and
readers be familiar with poetry terms?
1.
Because we need to all
be using the same DICTION when we talk about each other’s poems.
2.
Because we need to be
aware of all the parts that make up a poem—and maybe that will allow us to
experiment with a variety of techniques when we write!
