Summary

KCSE Revision Oral Literature and Poetry. Detailed and comprehensive study guide.

Brief Overview:

What is poetry?
It is not easy to say what exactly poetry is. But poetry explores the possibility of language more vividly than prose. In poetry language is used in a powerful ways.
ODAMO: But then sir, what is poetry?
TEACHER: Why sir, it is much easier to say what it is not. We all know what light is, but it is not easy to tell what it is.
Poetry expresses language more powerfully than prose. Poetry can be compared to a palace if prose is a house. So just as a palace is more than a house, but it must be a house at least so also poetry is more than prose but it must still be language at least.
Attitude
We can define attitude into two:
i) The poets attitude towards his subjects (what he is writing about)
ii) A poet may choose to write about attitudes that are not his. His subjects (characters in his poem) can have their own attitudes towards one another or towards a certain issue e.g in the poem, ‘Building the Nation (9) what is the drivers attitude towards the PS? Sometimes a poet may show disapproval without using negative words. In the poem, ‘Cow for breakfast’(16) the author disapproves his subject without using negative words instead he makes us laugh at him. This is called satire. Satire is the mocking or ridiculing or ridiculing people and their characteristics to expose their foolishness and weaknesses.
