Types of Feet • Iambic: A foot consisting of two syllables where the first is short or unstressed and the second is long or stressed e.g. as in 'beSIDE'. • Rhyme: when words or phrases have similar sounds • End Rhyme: when words at end of lines rhyme • Internal Rhyme: when words within a line rhyme • Near Rhyme: Term used to describe a number of devices which come close to full rhyme but don't create the perfect chiming sound associated with words such as 'cat' and 'mat'. These devices include: assonance, consonance, half-rhyme and unaccented rhyme. • Rhyme Scheme: The pattern of how the ends of lines rhyme.

  10. Literary Devices • Onomatopoeia: The use of words that imitate the sound that the poet is trying to describe. Pow, Plop, Boom • Alliteration: the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of a word • Consonance: The effect created when words share the same stressed consonant sounds but where the vowels differ. • Assonance: The repetition of vowel sounds in the middle of words • Refrain: A line or phrase that recurs throughout a poem - especially at the end of stanzas

When you do not say the statement with its full intensity • Idiom: an expressionwhose meaning is not predictable from the usual meanings of its constituent elements, as kick the bucket  or hang one's head • Personification: giving inanimate objects human qualities • Symbolism: an object or word that have a literal and figurative meaning. • Ex: A light bulb: Literally is a light bulb but figuratively stands for ideas. • Allusion: a reference to something in literature, art, or history. • Imagery: when the author gives the reader a mental picture through sensory details.
