  4. I like to see it lap the miles I like to see it lap the miles,And lick the valleys up,And stop to feed itself at tanks;And then, prodigious, step Around a pile of mountains,And, supercilious, peerIn shanties by the sides of roads;And then a quarry pare To fit its sides, and crawl between,Complaining all the whileIn horrid, hooting stanza;Then chase itself down hill And neigh like Boanerges; Then, punctual as a star, Stop--docile and omnipotent--At its own stable door.

  5. Unit Overview • Lyric vs. Narrative • Part 1: Sound and Structure • What is sound? • Alliteration • Assonance • Consonance • Onomatopoeia • Rhythm • Rhyme/rhyme scheme • Scansion/syllable stress • Structure (stanzas/free verse) • Repetition/Refrain • Enjambment • Forced/slant rhyme • Exact rhyme • Types of Poetry • Ode, sonnet, ballad, etc. • Part 2: Imagery • Sensory imagery • Metaphor • Simile • Allusion • Personification • Hyperbole • Symbolism • Part 3: Meaning • Subject • Speaker • Tone • Theme • Part 4: Performance • Memorization • Recitation techniques

  7. Rhyme • Exact rhyme: sounds in words correspond • Forced/slant rhyme: corresponding sounds are approximate enough to not break rhythm • Rhyme scheme: the pattern of rhyme in the poem Hickory, Dickory, Dock. The mouse ran up the clock. The clock struck one, The mouse ran down. Hickory, Dickory, Dock. The Hippopotamus I shoot the Hippopotamus With bullets made of platinum Because if I use leaden ones His hide is sure to flatten ‘em. --Hilaire Belloc

  8. Rhyme scheme Hickory, Dickory, Dock. The mouse ran up the clock. The clock struck one, The mouse ran down. Hickory, Dickory, Dock. The Hippopotamus I shoot the Hippopotamus With bullets made of platinum Because if I use leaden ones His hide is sure to flatten ‘em. • Use ORANGE • First line is always labeled “A” • Everything that rhymes with “A” is also “A” • If the next line doesn’t rhyme, it’s “B” • New rhyme = new letter

  10. Alliteration • The Repetition of sounds at the beginning of words • NOT letters • “2 line” rule: the pattern is lost… • RED CIRCLES– Circle the SOUND • Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. My Mary’s asleep by the murmuring stream- Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream. --Robert Burns, “Afton Water”

  17. Repetition & Refrain • Repetition: • The repetition of a word, phrase, or grammatical structure in a poem • Refrain: • Repetition of one of more lines at regular intervals in the poem • We real cool. WeLeft school. WeLurk late. WeStrike straight. WeSing sin. WeThin gin. WeJazz June. WeDie soon. • --Gwendolyn Brooks

  18. Repetition First man, behold: the earth glitters with leaves; the sky glistens with rain. • -- N. Scott Momaday It must be able to hear The luminance of dove and deer. It must be able to hide What it seeks, like a bride. • -- Jose Garcia Villa

  19. Rhythm • The repetition of stressed and unstressed syllables of a poem • Scansion: the arrangement of the syllables in a pattern • “Iambic pentameter” • Shakespeare, epics– blank verse • Divided into “feet” • Unit of syllables in a line • Contains one stressed syllable • 2-3 syllables /foot • The # of feet in a line completes the scansion description: • 1- monometer • 2- dimeter • 3- trimeter • 4- tetrameter • 5- pentameter • 6- hexameter

  20. Meter/ Scansion • Iambic • But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? • Trochaic • Go and catch a falling star • Anapestic • It was many and many a year ago • Dactylic • I’ve been to London to visit the queen • Spondaic • Enjambment

  21. What is the effect of rhythm? Silver bark of beech, and sallowBark of yellow birch and yellowTwig of willow.Stripe of green in moosewood maple,Colour seen in leaf of apple,Bark of popple.Wood of popple pale as moonbeam,Wood of oak for yoke and barn-beam,Wood of hornbeam.Silver bark of beech, and hollowStem of elder, tall and yellowTwig of willow. -- Edna St. Vincent Millay When I was one-and-twentyI heard a wise man say,'Give crowns and pounds and guineasBut not your heart away;Give pearls away and rubiesBut keep your fancy free.'But I was one-and-twenty,No use to talk to me. When I was one-and-twentyI heard him say again,'The heart out of the bosomWas never given in vain;'Tis paid with sighs a plentyAnd sold for endless rue.'And I am two-and-twenty,And oh, 'tis true, 'tis true. ---AE Housman

  22. Structure • Stanza: the arrangement of lines in a group • # of lines = stanza type • 1- verse • 2- couplet • 3- tercet • 4- quatrain • 5-cinquain/ quintet • 6- sestet • 7- septet • 8- octave • Often, types of poems are classified by stanza structure • Ex: sonnet = 14 lines • English/Shakespearean: • 3 quatrains and a couplet • Italian/Petrarchan: • An octave and a sestet

  23. Onomatopoeia • Words that are sounds • Boom • Crash • Crunch • Ding • Knock • Rip • Ribbit • Oink • Moo to freight cars in the air all the slow clank, clank clank, clank moving about the treetops the wha, what of the hoarse whistle pah, pah pah, pah, pah, pah, pah piece and piece piece and piece moving still trippingly long after the engine has fought by and disappeared in silence to the left

  24. What is the effect of sound? Eskimos in Manitoba, Barracuda off Aruba,Cock an ear when Roger Bubo Starts to solo on the tuba.Men of every station -- Pooh-Bah, Nabob, bozo, toff, and hobo --Cry in unison, "Indubi-Tably, there is simply nobo-Dy who oompahs on the tubo, Solo, quite like Roger Bubo!" --John Updike

  27. I like to see it lap the miles I like to see it lap the miles,And lick the valleys up,And stop to feed itself at tanks;And then, prodigious, step Around a pile of mountains,And, supercilious, peerIn shanties by the sides of roads;And then a quarry pare To fit its sides, and crawl between,Complaining all the whileIn horrid, hooting stanza;Then chase itself down hill And neigh like Boanerges; Then, punctual as a star, Stop--docile and omnipotent--At its own stable door.

  28. Comparisons • Simile: comparing two things using “like” or “as” • Metaphor: comparing two things without “like” or “as” • Uses “is” or is implied • Extended simile/metaphor: comparison carried through multiple lines/imageries

  29. Allusion • Type of imagery • Mentioning names, places, or elements of other works to evoke recognition • Einstein • Noah • “In the belly of the beast” • Scrooge • Coldplay’s “Viva la Vida”
