RHAPSODY An ancient Greek epic poem or a portion of one suitable for uninterrupted recitation.
EPIC An extended narrative poem, usually simple in construction, but grand in scope, exalted in style, and heroic in theme, often giving expression to the ideals of a nation or race.
STYLE The poet's individual creative process, as determined by choices involving diction, figurative language, rhetorical devices, sounds, and rhythmic patterns.
THEME The central idea, topic, or didactic quality of a work.
An Example:
In a quiet and green corner of the fence, On the slope a bare patch of earth, brown and rich, Secluded by green bushes, Overshadowed by a bent pine tree Whose spiny tuft branches with Countless chirping flitting specks of life, Far away from home and still in our yard, We sat and conversed about the topic of the day. A perilously safe adventure. A corner shrouded by a mist of fun.
