Didactic poetry : Poetry which is clearly intended for the purpose of instruction -- to impart theoretical, moral, or practical knowledge, or to explain the principles of some art or science, as Pope's An Essay on Criticism. Didactic poetry can assume the manner and attributes of imaginative works by incorporating the knowledge in a variety of forms, such as dramatic poetry, satire, and parody, among others. Allegories, aphorisms, apologues, fables, gnomes, and proverbs are so closely related to didactic poetry that they can be considered specific types of that genre.
Petrarchan sonnet An Italian sonnet form perfected by Petrarch (1304-1374), characterized by an octave with a rhyme scheme of abbaabba and a sestet rhyming variously, but usually cdecde or cdccdc. The octave typically introduces the theme or problem, with the sestet providing the resolution.
Simile A figure of speech in which an explicit comparison is made between two essentially unlike things, usually using like, as or than, as in Burns' "O, my luve's like A Red, Red Rose" or Shelley's "as still as a brooding dove," in "The Cloud." Similes in which the parallel is developed and extended beyond the initial comparison, often being sustained through several lines, are called epic or Homeric similes, since they occur frequently in epic poetry, both for ornamentation and to heighten the heroic aspect.
Metaphysical Of or relating to a group of 17th century poets whose verse was distinguished by an intellectual and philosophical style, with extended metaphors or conceits comparing very dissimilar things.
Occasional poem: A poem written for a particular occasion, such as a dedication, birthday, or victory. The encomium, elegy, prothalamium, and epithalamium are examples of occasional poems. .
Pindaric verse In Greek literature, a poem designed for song, of various meters and of lofty style, patterned after the odes of the classical Greek poet, Pindar. Though metrically complex, and varying from one ode to another, Pindaric verse, also called Dorian or choric odes, regularly consists of a similarly-structured strophe and an antistrophe, followed by an epode of different length and structure,
Panegyric A speech or poem of elaborate praise for some distinguished person, object, or event -- similar to, but more formal than an encomium.
Rhyme royal A stanza of seven lines of heroic or five-foot iambic verse, rhyming ababbcc. It probably received its name from its use by King James I of Scotland, who was also a poet. It was previously known as Troilus verse because Chaucer used it in Troilus and Criseyde.
Courtly love it defines the relationship between knight & ladies in the feudal court. The ideals of courtly love stressed that
a knight should devote himself to a woman at court. In his lady's name he waged war or joined tournaments, trying to win her favour.
Courtly love flourished in the twelfth century and after. In it
1/ The lover subjects himself to his beloved
2/ He raises the level of his emotions to a sacred position
3/ The hero first talks about his freedom then, on seeing the lady, he falls in love.
4/ He retires to his loneliness complaining against his lack then he declares his love.
5/ If the lover is accepted he joyfully sings and if rejected he complains.
6/ If fortune changes and the lovers are separated, the lover's complaints may
become violent and deep.
Petrarchan conceit, which was especially popular with Renaissance writers of sonnets, is a hyperbolic comparison most often made by a suffering lover of his beautiful mistress to some physical object—e.g., a tomb, the ocean, the sun. Edmund Spenser’s Epithalamion, for instance, characterizes the beloved’s eyes as being “like sapphires shining bright,” with her cheeks “like apples which the sun hath rudded”
