A. BACKROUND
English as one of the subjects in schools has an important role because
English is a foreign language, an international language which is widely used in
communication by people in most countries in the world. Furthermore, English is
often used in writing science books, journals, or articles about knowledge and
technology. Therefore, in order to be able to develop science, knowledge, and
technology, and to communicate with people from other countries, English is
taught in Indonesia as a foreign language from junior high schools until
universities. English is taught at schools in order that students are able to master
the four skills, they are listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Harmer (2007:
265).

During the 70s poetry was very popular with poets. The evidence is there,
for example, in the past there were songs whose lyrics were from poetry. During
the heyday of poetry, poetry was not only an expression of love for the opposite
sex but also as a criticism of the government, for someone who meritorious, or
someone they hate. But now poetry is not too popular anymore because the
comparison of technological advances is not comparable with the thoughts and
1
feelings of the people so that someone prioritizes the installation rather than a
process.
Because the comparison is not balanced so that people, especially
teenagers, are no longer too interested in poetry, that's not all that very famous
poetry has begun to be forgotten. More and more people will forget about poetry
such as: the types, the structure, the differences, and so on.
For that I made this paper titled "poetry" so that we can remember it, study
it, and also understand the differences, and the structure is clearer so that we can
make our own poetry. What if we can make poetry and better understand the
difference in structure so that we new generations can popularize poetry again.
