  3. Poetry – Terms and Definitions • The pattern created by stressed and unstressed syllables of words in a sequence. Rhythm • A pattern of rhythm, which we can measure in a line of poetry. Meter • The repetition of identical or similar consonant sounds, normally at the beginning of words. Alliteration • Onomatopoeia • The use of words whose sound suggests their meaning. • Poetry, which is not written in a traditional meter, but is still rhythmical. • Free Verse • Blank Verse • Unrhymed iambic pentameter. • Internal Rhyme • Rhyme that occurs within a line, rather than at the end. • Eye rhyme/Half rhyme – Rhymes based on similar spelling or assonance and consonance. • Slant Rhyme • End-Stopped Lines • Lines that end with a period, comma, colon, semicolon, exclamation point, or question mark.

  4. Meter and Iambic Foot • Iambic Foot – A unit of stressed and unstressed syllables. • Above – a-BOVE • Support – sup-PORT • Hurray – hur-RAY • Shakespeare: "No longer mourn for me when I am dead.“ • "no LON-ger MOURN for ME when I am DEAD."

  5. Rhythm Example “My Favorite Things” Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittensBright copper kettles and warm woolen mittensBrown paper packages tied up with stringsThese are a few of my favorite thingsCream colored ponies and crisp apple streudelsDoorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodlesWild geese that fly with the moon on their wingsThese are a few of my favorite thingsGirls in white dresses with blue satin sashesSnowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashesSilver white winters that melt into springsThese are a few of my favorite thingsWhen the dog bitesWhen the bee stingsWhen I'm feeling sadI simply remember my favorite thingsAnd then I don't feel so bad

  6. Alliteration - Example Cipher Connected By Paul McCannCareless cars cutting corners create confusion .Crossing centrelines.Countless collisions cost coffins.Collect conscious change.Copy?Continue cautiously.Comply?Cool .

  8. Internal Rhyme - Example Pink Dominoes - Rudyard Kipling  That is to say, in a casual way,I slipped my arm around her;With a kiss or two (which is nothing to you),And ready to kiss I found her.She turned her head and the name she saidWas certainly not my own;But ere I could speak, with a smothered shriekShe fled and left me alone.Then Jenny came, and I saw with shameShe'd doffed her domino;And I had embraced an alien waist --But I did not tell her so.Next morn I knew that there were twoDominoes pink, and oneHad cloaked the spouse of Sir Julian Vouse,Our big Political gun.Sir J. was old, and her hair was gold,And her eye was a blue cerulean;And the name she said when she turned her headWas not in the least like "Julian."  Jenny and Me were engaged, you see,On the eve of the Fancy Ball;So a kiss or two was nothing to youOr any one else at all.Menny would go in a domino --Pretty and pink but warm;While I attended, clad in a splendidAustrian uniform.Now we had arranged, through notes exchangedEarly that afternoon,At Number Four to waltz no more,But to sit in the dusk and spoon.I wish you to see that Jenny and MeHad barely exchanged our troth;So a kiss or two was strictly dueBy, from, and between us both.When Three was over, an eager lover,I fled to the gloom outside;And a Domino came out alsoWhom I took for my future bride.

  9. Slant Rhyme - Example The Darking Thrush - Thomas Hardy At once a voice arose amongThe bleak twigs overheadIn a full-hearted evensongOf joy illimited;An aged thrush, frail, gaunt, and small,In blast-beruffled plume,Had chosen thus to fling his soulUpon the growing gloom.So little cause for carolingsOf such ecstatic soundWas written on terrestial thingsAfar or nigh around,That I could think there trembled throughHis happy good-night airSome blessed Hope, whereof he knewAnd I was unaware. I leant upon a coppice gateWhen Frost was spectre-gray,And Winter's dregs made desolateThe weakening eye of day.The tangled bine-stems scored the skyLike strings of broken lyres,And all mankind that haunted nighHad sought their household fires. The land's sharp features seemed to beThe Century's corpse outleant,His crypt the cloudy canopy,The wind his death-lament.The ancient pulse of germ and birthWas shrunken hard and dry,And every spirit upon earthSeemed fervourless as I.
