  1. Rhythm and Rhyme Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan Poe Martin Luther King by Raymond Richard Patterson

  2. Rhythm Rhythm is a poem’s pattern of stressed (‘) and unstressed (“) syllables. • Notice the drum beat rhythm here: • He came /upon /an age

  3. The meter of a poem is its rhythmical pattern. Meter is measured in feet, or single units of stressed and unstressed syllables. • The line below has three feet. Each foot has two syllables, an unstressed one followed by a stressed one. Slashes separate the feet. • Beset/ by grief, / by rage

  4. Rhyme Rhyme is the repetition of a sound at the ends of nearby words – age/ rage, for example. These poems have end rhymes – the rhyming words appear at the ends of lines. It was many and many a year ago, A    In a kingdom by the sea, B That a maiden there lived whom you may know A    By the name of Annabel Lee; B And this maiden she lived with no other thought C    Than to love and be loved by me.
