A FEW SIMPLE FORMS OF ENGLISH POEMS
There are various reasons why people compose poetry. Some poems tell a story or describe a certain image in the reader's mind. Others try to convey certain feelings such as joy and sorrow①.The distinctive characteristics of poetry often include economical use of words, descriptive and vivid language, integrated imagery, literary② devices such as similes and metaphors, and arrangement of words, lines, rhymes③， and rhythm. Poets use many
教材原文
different forms of poetry to express themselves. Now we will look at a few of the simpler forms.
Some of the first poems a young child learns in English are nursery rhymes④. They are usually the traditional poems or folk⑤ songs. The language of these rhymes, like Poem A, is to the point but has a storyline. Many children enjoy nursery rhymes because they rhyme, have a strong rhythm, and often repeat the same words. The poems may not make sense and even seem contradictory,

but they are easy to learn and recite⑥. By playing with the words in nursery rhymes, children learn about language.
One of the simplest kinds of poem is the “list poem”， which contains a list of things, people，ideas, or descriptions that develop a particular theme. List poems have a flexible line length and repeated phrases which give both a pattern and a rhythm to the poem. Some rhyme [like B and C], while others do not.

Another simple form of poem that amateurs⑦ can easily write is the cinquain, which is made up of⑧ five lines. With these, you can convey a strong picture or a certain mood⑨ in just a few words. Look at the example [D].
Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry that consists of 17 syllables. It has a format⑩ of three lines, containing 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively . It is not a traditional form of English poetry, but is very popular with English writers. It is easy to write and, like the cinquain, can give a clear picture and create a

special feeling using very few words. The haiku poem [E] on the right is a translation from Japanese, which shows a moment in the life of a delicate butterfly.
English speakers also enjoy poems from China，those from the Tang Dynasty in particular. A lot of Tang poetry has been translated into English, such as this one [F].
With so many different forms of poetry to choose from, you may eventually want to write poems of your own. Give it a try！
教材原文
A
Hush, little baby, don't say a word，
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird.
If that mockingbird won't sing，
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring.
If that diamond ring turns to brass，
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass.
教材原文
If that looking glass gets broke，
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat.
If that billy goat won't pull，
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull.

Only One Mother
Hundreds of stars in the pretty sky，
Hundreds of shells on the shore together，
教材原文
Hundreds of birds that go singing by，
Hundreds of lambs in the sunny weather.
Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn，
Hundreds of bees in the purple clover，
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn，
But only one mother the wide world over.
George Cooper

wind and rain revolve.
Should the traveller return，
this stone would utter speech.

英文诗歌的几种简单形式　　
人们写诗的原因多种多样。有的诗歌讲述一个故事，有的在读者心中描绘出一个意象，还有的诗歌则试图传达特定的情感，如喜悦和悲伤。诗歌的显著特点通常包括精练的用词、生动的描述性语言、整体的意象、类似明喻和暗喻的文学手法，以及字词、诗行、韵脚和节奏的编排。诗人们使用许多不同的诗歌形式来表达自己。现在，我们来看看几个较为简单的诗歌形式。
课文翻译
一个孩童最初学会的一些英文诗歌就是童谣。它们大多是传统诗歌或民谣。这些童谣的语言恰到好处，却含有故事情节，如诗歌A。许多孩子喜欢童谣，因为它们押韵，节奏感强，而且往往重复一些字眼。这些童谣也许没有道理，甚至自相矛盾，但是很容易学习和背诵。通过童谣中的文字游戏，儿童学习了语言。
“清单诗”是最简单的诗歌形式之一，它(一般)包含一份有关事物、人物、想法或描述性内容的清单，形成一个特定主题。清单诗的诗行长
课文翻译
度灵活，重复出现的短语赋予诗歌某种模式和节奏。有些清单诗押韵(如诗歌B和诗歌C)，有些则不押韵。
(对于)业余诗人(而言)容易创作的另一种简单诗歌形式是五行诗，它由五个诗行构成。通过这些诗行，你可以用短短几句话就传达出一幅动人的画面或某种心情。请看范例(诗歌D)。
俳句是日本的一种诗歌形式，由17个音节组成。其格式为三行，每行的音节分别是五个、七个和五个。俳句并非传统的英语诗歌形式，但在英国作家中却十分流行。俳句易于创作，而且与五行诗一样，寥寥数

语即可展现一个清晰的画面，表达一种特殊的情感。右侧的俳句(诗歌E)从日语翻译而来，展示了一只娇弱的蝴蝶生命中的一刻。
英语人士也喜欢中国诗歌，尤其是唐诗。许多唐诗已经被翻译成英文，如诗歌F。
有这么多不同的诗歌形式可供选择，你可能最终想自己写几首诗。试一试吧！

嘘嘘，小宝贝，别说话，

小镜子，打碎了，
