Elements of Poetry

The most important elements of poetry are character, plot, and rhyme. In poetry, most of the time the poem is about a specific object or character. Usually describing the object, such as how good or bad it is. Without a character in a poem, there would be no topic. Some poems tell stories, and stories requires a plot, or else there would be nothing but random statements. Stories need plots to state what's going to happen. At last what a poem needs is rhyme. Rhyme is the artistic part of a poem. Without it, the poem would not sound or look like a poem. All the elements above are all similar to normal writings expect for rhyme. In most writings such as an essay, it is made to explain something which should let the reader be clear of what the writer is talking about. In poems, writers use elements such as rhyme to make the poem more artistic.
