  1. Poetry is nearer to vital truth than history. -- Plato

  2. Seen/been Internal rhyme-an individual line of poetry contains one or more words that rhyme. Use for emphasis or additional unity Slant Rhyme (n): When the end words of two lines of poetry share a similar sound but do not “rhyme” in the traditional sense (known as “full” or perfect rhyme). Types of Rhyme Rhyme Scheme– the pattern of rhyming words within a given stanza or poem; identified with a letter of the alphabet. Ask: Is rhyme scheme germane to the effect or meaning of a poem. Onomatopoeia- murmur – WHY USE IT? Near Rhyme Sam Am Ham

  3. Alliteration-repetition of initial sounds; intensify effects, add weight to an idea, makes verse easier to remember. James Thomson's verse "Come…dragging the lazy languid line along." Use of Repetition Consonance–repetition of consonants within a line or at the end of words. Used to create subtle harmonies. Ex: "some mammals are clammy“; oddsand ends; struts and frets; a.k.a. Dissonance, Half rhyme, and Oblique Rhyme (or Slant Rhyme) --rhyme in which either the vowels or the consonants of stressed syllables are identical, as in eyes, light; years, yours. Assonance- repetition of similar vowel sounds; can be used to create near, or slant, rhyme. EX: earth and hearth Example: The plate was shapely and well-made.

  4. Meter and Rhythm Iambic Pentameter = 5 iambs per line or 10 syllables. SHAKESPEARE  Roughly 90% of poems in English use iamb Scansion. (uh, gootgawd) the process of analyzing meter What is it good for? Meter contributes to the poem’s meaning, structure, tone, and effect Cute little song Irene is an iamb Tanya is a trochee Sue-Ann is a spondee Deborah is a dactyl Antoinette is an anapest

  5. It’s an internal pause—usually indicated by a period, semicolon, dash, or other punctuation. Caesura, Enjambment, End-Stop End-Stopped CLASS Enjambment, often called run-on, is indicated by an absence of punctuation and eliminates the need for pause. Don’t stop reading until you see punctuation!

  6. While Ezra Pound is largely credited with starting the free verse poetry movement that created more relaxed style requirements and eliminated the wide-spread use of formal poetry, there are still plenty of aficionados out there who firmly believe that all poetry should rhyme. These are ten of the reasons they use to support their argument, and reasons why some believe that rhyming poetry is far superior to its free-verse brethren. Free Verse Do poems have to rhyme? Is Free Verse really poetry? Is "The Red Wheelbarrow" a poem?
