  1. Rhythm • The pattern of beats or stresses in spoken or written language • Created with meter, rhyme, and alliteration Love for the Music by Waldo Garcia The rhythm, and of course the beat.Moving side to side and dancing the floor.Feel the music flowing all through your feet.The beats so good, it makes you want some more.Get lost in the music, carried away.Feel the deep passion coming from your heart.Warm like the sun on the beach on mid day.It’s been a part of my life from the start. Made from things happening in real life.If you listen closely there is a song.Some are love and some are blunt as a knife.I can listen to music all day long.Music’s love or whatever it can be.Music’s the life that is inside of me.

  2. Rhyme • The repetition of sounds at the end of words • LAMP • STAMP • Share the short “a” vowel sound • Share the combined “mp” consonant sound

  3. Meter • A rhythmical pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables • The pattern is determined by the number of stressed syllables or beats in each line • A stressed syllable is marked with a slanted line (‘) and an unstressed with a horseshoe (u) “The life I lead I want to be”

  4. Rhyme Scheme • A regular pattern of rhyming words in a poem • To indicate the rhyme scheme of a poem, use lowercase letters. Each rhyme is assigned a different letter. • The Germ by Ogden Nash • A mighty creature is the germ, • Though smaller than the pachyderm. • His customary dwelling place • Is deep within the human race. • His childish pride he often pleases • By giving people strange diseases. • Do you, my poppet, feel infirm? • You probably contain a germ. a a b b c c a a

  5. Refrain • A sound, word, phrase or line repeated regularly in a poem "O bury me not on the lone prairie."These words came low and mournfullyFrom the pallid lips of the youth who layOn his dying bed at the close of day.He had wasted and pined 'til o'er his browDeath's shades were slowly gathering nowHe thought of home and loved ones nigh,As the cowboys gathered to see him die."O bury me not on the lone prairieWhere coyotes howl and the wind blows freeIn a narrow grave just six by three—O bury me not on the lone prairie"

  6. Stanza • A group of lines arranged together Down by the Salley Gardens By William Butler Yeats Stanza 1: Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet; She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet. She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree; But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree. Stanza 2: In a field by the river my love and I did stand, And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand. She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs; But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.

  7. Prose • Writing or speech that is not poetry “Poetry is awesome!” exclaimed my older sister.

  8. Repetition • Repeating a syllable, sound, word, phrase, line, stanza, or metrical pattern in a poem From “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost The woods are lovely, dark and deep.But I have promises to keep,And miles to go before I sleep,And miles to go before I sleep.

  9. Sonnet • Fourteen-line rhyming poem with set structure An Echo from Willow-Wood by Christina Rossetti Two gazed into a pool, he gazed and she,Not hand in hand, yet heart in heart, I think,Pale and reluctant on the water’s brink,As on the brink of parting which must be,Each eyed the other’s aspect, she and he,Each felt one hungering heart leap up and sink,Each tasted bitterness which both must drink,There on the brink of life’s dividing sea. Lilies upon the surface, deep below,Two wistful faces craving each for each,Resolute and reluctant without speech:–A sudden ripple made the faces flow,One moment joined, to vanish out of reach:So those hearts joined, and ah were parted so.

  10. Imagery • Language that appeals to the 5 senses . . . then with cracked hands that ached from labor in the weekday weather . . . from “Those Winter Sundays”

  11. Hyperbole • Exaggeration often used for emphasis Her diamond is so big you can see it shine from outer space.

  12. Onomatopoeia • Words that imitate the sound they are naming BUZZ

  13. Alliteration • Consonant sounds repeated at the beginnings of words If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, how many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?

  14. Personification • An animal given human-like qualities or an object given life-like qualities The stars danced playfully in the moonlit sky.

  15. Metaphor • A direct comparison of two unlike things “All the world’s a stage, and we are merely players.” - William Shakespeare

  16. Simile • A comparison of two things using “like, as than,” or “resembles.” She is as beautiful as a sunrise.
