Poetry

Roses are red, violets are blue…if you want to write poems, this movie’s for you! In this BrainPOP UK movie, Tim and Moby explain the basics of poetry. In this educational, animated movie you’ll learn about rhythm, metre, rhyme, and all the other qualities that make up a poem. With examples from Alexander Pope and Emily Dickinson, you’ll see how poets use simile and metaphor to give their readers a unique perspective on emotions and events, and why some writers choose to express themselves with poetry rather than prose. So stop wasting time, come up with a rhyme; get down and groovy and click on this movie!
