  1. rhythm Rhythm is the beat and the pace of words in a piece of writing.

  2. Prose The ordinary form of written language. (Poetry, drama and songs are not considered forms of prose.) Unlikely to have a regular pattern, but sometimes it contains a recognizable tempo.

  3. Rhythm • Poetry has rhythm called the metric pattern. • The metric pattern is similar to the beat of music in that it uses the syllables in the words falling at regular intervals. • Rhythm is established in a few different ways by using tools.

  4. Foot There are different types of feet within poetry. Each foot contains a set number of stressed and unstressed syllables. Feet combine together to create a line of poetry.

  5. Feet • The different feet create different paces because unaccented syllables do not take as long to say as accented syllables. • A line of poetry containing mostly unaccented syllables would have a faster pace. • A line of poetry containing mostly accentedsyllables would have a slower pace.

  6. Types of feet

  7. Examples of different feet

  8. Determining meter • Once you have determined what type of foot is being used, you will then be able to determine the meter of the poem. • After every foot, place a vertical line and then count the number of feet listed within the line. • The number of feet within each line will determine the meter of the poem

  9. Meter

  10. How to remember the meter • Mono- means one. For example a monologue has only one speaker • Di- means two. Remember when you cut something in two you are dissecting. • Tri- means three. A tricycle has three wheels and a triangle has three sides. • Penta- means five. The Pentagon in Washington has five sides. • Oct- means eight. An octopus has eight legs.

  11. Inversion • Inversion occurs when the beat within a line may change or vary. • Inversion occurs for 2 reasons: 1. The poet was unable to find a word that fit with the meter and foot 2. They changed the meter and foot for emphasized effect • If inversion is used to often, it loses all effect.

  12. Caesura • A short pause which can take the place of an unaccented syllable. • It CANNOT be used in the place of an accented syllable because the pause would be too long. • Pausing at a comma or end of the sentence is normal, and when it occurs within a line, it is called a Caesura. • Ex: Oh CAN’T you STAY ? STAY and PLAY. U / U / U / U /

  13. Determine the meter It’s Christmas Eve and there in splendor bright It’s Christmas Eve and there in splendorbright It’s Christmas Eve and there in splendorbright U / U / U / U / U /
