How is poetry written differently than a story or informational text?
- Poems are written using lines not sentences.
- Poems have stanzas not paragraphs.
- Some poems rhyme and have rhythm. These features give poems a beat.
- Poems have a speaker. The speaker may be the author, but sometimes it is a character.
- Poems don't always follow the rules for punctuation and capitalization.
