  5. Rhyme Scheme Darkness settles on roofs and walls, a_ But the sea, the sea in the darkness calls; a_ The little waves, with their soft, white hands, b_ Efface the footprints in the sands, b_ And the tide rises, the tide falls. a_ - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, from “TheTide Rises, the Tide Falls”

  14. ~ONOMATOPOEIA~ “Black is the clear glass now that he glides, Crisp is the whisper of long, lean strides…” from “The Skater of Ghost Lake” by William Rose Benet ~when a word sounds like what it means

  15. Onomatopoeia • In “The Bells”, by Edgar Allan Poe, he creates a frenzied mood by choosing words that imitate the sounds of alarm bells Oh, the bells, bells, bells! What a tale their terror tells Of Despair! How they clang, and clash, and roar! 5 What a horror they outpour On the bosom of the palpitating air! Yet the ear, it fully knows By the twanging And the clanging 10 How the danger ebbs and flows.

  16. ONOMATOPOEIA • CafeteriaBoom! Went the food trays. Clap! Clap! Goes the teacher.Rip!  Went the plastic bag.Munch! Munch! Go the students.Slurp!!! Went the straws.Whisper Is what half the kids in the room are doing.Crunch!  Crunch! Go the candy bars. • By: Rachael

  17. ALLITERATION • Consonant sounds repeated at the beginnings of words • If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, how many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?

  18. ASSONANCE • Repeated VOWEL sounds in a line or lines of poetry. • Lake Fate Base Fade

  19. “Slow the low gradual moan came in the snowing.” • John Masefield “Shall ever medicine thee to that sweet sleep.” - William Shakespeare

  20. A Japanese poem written in three lines Five Syllables Seven Syllables Five Syllables An old silent pond . . . A frog jumps into the pond. Splash! Silence again. HAIKU

  21. Hyperbole • An over exaggeration

  22. School Fight • You can’t hear a pin dropAs all the kids gather around;They are vulturesWaiting for the corpseOf the one who loses.The tall kid…He swings his fist with his hurricane force.A torrential spray of bloodExplodes from the smaller boy’s noseAnd covers the tiled floor.The vultures fly awayAs the teachers quickly approach.

  23. Slant Rhyme • Rhymes involving sounds that are similar but not exactly the same milly befriended a stranded star whose rays five languid fingers were - E.E. Cummings, from “maggie and milly and molly and may”

  24. Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune--without the words, And never stops at all,

  25. Meter • A regular pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables • Free verse does not have a regular pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables • Sounds like ordinary speech • When poets write in meter, they count out the number of stressed syllables (or strong beats) and unstressed syllables (weaker beats) in each line • They then repeat the pattern throughout • To avoid singsong effect, poets usually vary the basic pattern

  26. Kinds of Stanzas Couplet = a two line stanza Triplet (Tercet) = a three line stanza Quatrain = a four line stanza Octave = an eight line stanza

  27. Hello, iambs! • Each line has four unstressed syllables alternating with four stressed syllables ‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. - Lewis Carroll, from “Jabberwocky”

  30. A fourteen line poem with a specific rhyme scheme. The poem is written in three quatrains and ends with a couplet. The rhyme scheme is abab cdcd efef gg Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate. Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date. Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed; And every fair from fair sometimes declines, By chance or nature’s changing course untrimmed. But thy eternal summer shall not fade Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st; Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. Shakespearean Sonnet
