Sound Devices A good poem can often be identified by its sound quality. 1. How do we evaluate sound quality? Poets use certain devices to create sound within a poem. We need to analyze the poem to look out for these devices, indicate the sound produced and evaluate its effect on the reader.
2. What do poets use to create sound within a poem? There are four main devices: • Alliteration • Assonance • Consonance • Onomatopoeia
3. Purpose of using sound devices Sound devices are often used for three main reasons: • To complement or emphasize the message of the poem. • To create a mood. • To reveal the speaker’s attitude.
What is Alliteration? • Alliteration is the repetition of the same or similar consonant sounds in words that are close together. • Alliteration can create a musical effect or help establish a mood. Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sound in two or more neighboring words or syllables. Here are some examples: • the wild winds of winter • Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. http://www.sil.org/lingualinks/literacy/otherresources/glossaryofliteracyterms/WhatIsAlliteration.htm
Let’s look at another example… WEATHER Whether the weather be fineOr whether the weather be not,Whether the weather be coldOr whether the weather be hot,We'll weather the weatherWhatever the weather,Whether we like it or not. -- Anonymous
What is the purpose of Alliteration? The purpose of alliteration is to create a consistent pattern that catches the mind's eye and focuses attention. -http://www.techwr-l.com/techwhirl/archives/9810/techwhirl-9810-00362.html
The railroad tracks ran right through the center of town. Alliteration makes the reader read faster, thereby adding a sense of speed and intensity to the sentence.WriteGuide’sLetter Writing Program
Stan the strong surfer saved several swimmers on Saturday. Tiny Tommy Thomson takes toy trucks to Timmy’s on Tuesday.
Alliterative poems tend to be tongue twisters. They are written for the fun they bring when they are read! She sells seashells by the seashore!
Rules for Alliteration • Proper alliteration is NOT a repetition of letters; it is a repetition of sound. • For example, never and knight alliterate because they begin with the same consonant sound. • Conversely, even though tin and thank begin with the same letter, they do not alliterate because they don’t begin with the same consonant sound.
Alliteration is all around us! Take some time to look around and notice…

ASSONANCE • Repetition of vowel sounds followed by different consonants in stressed syllables, as in blade and maze. • Repeated VOWEL sounds in a line or lines of poetry. • Vowels = a, e, i, o, u • Lake Fate Base Fade • (All share the long “a” sound.)
Assonance On this green bank, by this soft stream, We set today the votive stone; That memory may their deed redeem When, like our sires, our sons are gone. from “Concord Hymn” by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Assonance Examples • “That solitude which suits abstruser musings” - Samuel Taylor Coleridge • “Hear the mellow wedding bells.” — Edgar Allen Poe • “Dead in da middle of little Italy, little did we know that we riddled some middle men who didn't do diddily." – Big Pun
Write down the example of assonance in each of the following: 1. “Slow the low gradual moan came in the snowing.” • John Masefield 2. “Shall ever medicine thee to that sweet sleep.” - William Shakespeare
Consonance • Repetition of similar consonant sounds at the ends of accented syllables, as in wind and sand. • Repetition of a consonant sound that is not at the beginning of the word. • A consonant is not a vowel. Consonance refers to fixed consonant but changing vowel sounds. For example, ‘escaped’ and ‘scooped’, ‘gored’ and ‘groaned’, ‘bestirred’ and ‘stared’.
Consonance By the rude bridge that arched the flood, Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled, Here once the embattled farmers stood And fired the shot heard round the world. from “Concord Hymn” by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Example of Consonance “Rap rejects my tape deck, ejects projectile” - Fugees
Write down all alliteration, assonance, and consonance used in the following poem Nothing Gold Can Stay by Robert Frost Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay
What is Onomatopoeia? Onomatopoeia is a sound device where the poet uses words to imitate real sound. Onomatopoeia is the use of a word whose sound imitates or suggests its meaning. These words help us form mental pictures about the things, people, or places that are described.

See how Danielle Caryl used onomatopoeia in her poem “Noises” on the next slide.
NoisesBy Danielle Caryl The click of the clock, the creak of the stair,The squeak of a mouse and the swoosh of the air.The groan of the house as it settles below,And outside the window, the patter of snow.The scruff of the dog’s paws below where I rest,The rattle of the window that seems to face West.The jingle of bells from a wind chime next doorThe unearthly sounds of a truly loud snore.The crunching of snow under an animal’s feet,The honk of a horn from right down the street.So many noises I just want to weep,Is it too much to ask for some sleep?
ONOMATOPOEIA POEMS The Game Clap! Clap!Stomp! Stomp!Swish! Swish!This is the way we get throughOur games.The crowd shouts,”Yahoo!”The ball soars through the air.Then, bounce, bounce, bounce.The audience holds its breath.SWISH!The ball goes in; We win! • Camping • Crack! Crack!The fire crackles under the stars.Sizzle! Sizzle!The water sizzles above the fire.Crunch! Crunch!The campers crunching on potato chips.Click! Clack! Click! Clack!The tent poles clicking and clacking together.Rustle! Rustle!As we prepare our sleeping bags to go to sleep.Chirp! Chirp!The crickets say, “good-night”. http://www.mywordwizard.com/onomatopoeia-poems.html
