  4. RhythmCan you identify rhythm in the poems read in class? When you get to know a fellow Can’t Can't is the word that is foe to ambition/An enemy ambushed to shatter your will/Its prey is forever the man with a mission/And bows but to courage and patience and skill. When you get to know a fellow, know his every mood and whim/You being to find the texture of the splendid side of him/You begin to understand him, and you cease to scoff and sneer/For with understanding always prejudices disappear.

  5. Rhyme • It is “a regular recurrence of corresponding sounds” (Webster’s Dictionary). • This usually occurs at the end of the line. http://www.rhymezone.com/?loc=bar Elements of Poetry: www.poems-and-quotes.com

  6. Rhyme • Example Robert Frost’s "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" Whose woods these are I think I know,His house is in the village though.He will not see me stopping here,To watch his woods fill up with snow.

  7. RhymeCan you identify rhyme in the poems read in class? When you get to know a fellow Can’t Despise it with all of your hatred of error/Refuse it the lodgment it seeks in your brain/Arm against it as a creature of terror/And all that you dream of you some day shall gain. You are quick to see the blemish in the distant neighbor’s style/You can point to all his errors and may sneer at him the while/And your prejudices fatten and your hates more violent grow/As you talk about the failures of the man you do not know

  8. Repetition • Repetition of a sound, syllable, word, phrase, line, stanza, or metrical pattern is a basic unifying device in all poetry.

  9. Repetition • Example T. S. Eliot's "Ash-Wednesday“ Because I do not hope to turn againBecause I do not hopeBecause I do not hope to turn....

When you get to know a fellow Can’t http://www.great-inspirational-quotes.com/cant.html When you get to know a fellow, know his joys and know his cares/When you’ve come to understand him and the burdens that he bears/When you’ve learned the fight he’s making and the troubles in his way/Then you find that he is different than you thought him yesterday.
