  1. Meter in poetry

  2. Define, in your own words, what you believe meter and tone to be in poetry. • If you can, describe as many types of meter as you can possibly think of. In Your Notebooks…

  3. Stressed and unstressed syllables combined with different types of meters create the rhythm in poetry… Meters – the pieces

  4. Iambic Pentameter Trochaic Tetrameter Anapestic Tetrameter Dactylic Hexameter Types of Meters

  5. Iambic (u /) – A combination of short and long syllables (always only has 2 syllable feet). Iambic Pentameter – The one you Know

  6. Trochaic (/ x)– A combination of short and long syllables opposite that of the iambic pentameter. Trochaic Tetrameter

  7. Anapestic (xx /) – Uses three syllables as opposed to two. Anapestic Tetrameter

  8. Dactylic (/ xx) - A combination of three syllables opposite of the anapestic meter. • This is the forest primeval, the murmuring pines and the hemlock Dactylic HExameter

  9. Tone is the attitude a writer takes towards his/her work. • A tone cannot be “telling a story.” That is more of a genre, or type, of poem. • Think about what you know of Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost and decide upon a tone they use in their own poetry. Tone in Poetry

  10. Because I could not stop for Death— He kindly stopped for me— The Carriage held but just Ourselves— And Immortality. We slowly drove—He knew no haste And I had put away My labor and my leisure too, For His Civility— We passed the School, where Children strove At Recess—in the Ring— We passed the fields of Gazing Grain— We passed the Setting Sun— Or rather—He passed Us— The Dews drew quivering and chill— For only Gossamer, my Gown— My Tippet—only Tulle— We paused before a House that seemed A Swelling of the Ground— The Roof was scarcely visible— The Cornice—in the Ground— Since then—'tis Centuries—and yet Feels shorter than the Day I first surmised the Horses' Heads Were toward Eternity— Tone
