Students' understanding of poetry in elementary schools remains suboptimal. This is caused not only by limited learning time but also by the lack of supporting media that can present the material effectively and engagingly, which makes it difficult for students to understand the meaning and elements of poetry in depth. The purpose of this study was to analyze the use of picture cards based on local wisdom in poetry learning in fourth-grade elementary schools. This research is a development research using the ADDIE model, which includes the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The subjects of this study were 34 fourth-grade elementary school students. Data collection methods included interviews, questionnaires, and tests using instruments such as interview guidelines, questionnaires, and learning outcome test questions. The data analysis techniques used were descriptive, qualitative, and quantitative. The study found an increase in student engagement in the learning process, as well as a significant difference in students' poetry learning outcomes before and after using picture cards based on local wisdom. Thus, the use of this media is effective in improving students' understanding of poetry material. The implications of this study indicate that picture cards based on local wisdom can be an innovative alternative to support more interesting, contextual, and meaningful learning for students.
