  1. Poetry

  2. Types of Poems • Free Verse: a poem composed of rhymed or unrhymed lines that have no fixed metrical pattern or expectation • Humorous: a poem that makes you laugh or has witty or silly humor in it • Lyrical: a poem that expresses the thoughts and feelings of the poet. It does not tell a story. • Narrative: a poem that tells a story; has a plot

  3. Poetic Style • Alliteration: the repetition of initial sounds in two or more words in the same line or stanza Example: She sold sea shells by the sea shore. • Assonance: the repetition of vowel sounds in two or more words in the same line or stanza Example: “Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage, against the dying of the light.” • Consonance: the repetition of internal or ending consonant sounds in a short sequence of words Example: The rock fell out of my pocket in the thick mud.

  4. Line break: where a poet ends one line and begins the next can affect the meaning of the poem • Meter: the rhythm of a poem that is based on the syllables in a line and usually the way they are stressed (HICK- or-y DICK-or-y DOCK) • Onomatopoeia: a word formed by imitation of sound • Repetition: words or phrases are repeated

  5. Rhyme: the repetition of ending sounds in two or more words • Rhyme scheme: rhyming patterns at the end of several lines (example: AABB, ABAB) • Internal rhyme: rhyme occurs within a line instead of at the end of two lines • Stanza: two or more lines set apart by a space from the rest of the poem Example: “Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage, against the dying of the light.”
