  1. Chapter 14- pattern ORIEL DAVIS JULIEN OWENS ARIANA PITTS JAELAN JACKSON

  2. What is a pattern? • Pattern is identified as searching after order and significance or a means of selection and arrangement. • Used to transform the chaotic nature of experience into a meaningful and coherent pattern by selection and arrangement.

  3. The Composition of a pattern • An arrangement of ideas, images, thoughts, and sentences. • The External shape of a pattern. Structure Form STRUCTURES BUILD THE WORLD

  4. Continuous Form • That form of a poem in which the lines follow each other without formal grouping, the only breaks being dictated by units of meaning. • This is illustrated by “The Widow’s Lament in Springtime,” which has neither regular meter nor rhyme. (page 693) • Another example is in “After Apple-Picking.” This poem is metrical; it has no regularity of length of line, but the meter is predominately iambic. (page 698)

  5. stanzaic form • Written in a series of stanzas that is repeated with the units having the same number of lines • Usually the same metrical pattern and often an identical rhyme scheme. • The poet may use a traditional stanza pattern or create their own • Some traditional stanza forms include: terza rima, ballad meter, rhyme royal, and Spenserian stanza. (Stanza forms are used to create a literary allusion)

  6. Fixed Form • Fixed Form- a traditional pattern that applies to a whole poem. Examples include: rondeaus, rondels, villanelles, triolets, sestinas, ballades, double ballades, sonnets, and others. • The two very important and most commonly used forms are Sonnets and Villanelles.

  7. Sonnets There are two types of sonnets: the English Sonnet and the Italian Sonnet. • The Italian Sonnet (also known as the Petrarchan Sonnet) is divided usually between eight lines called the octave using two rhyme schemes arranged abbaabba, and six lines called the sestet, using either cdcdcd or cdecde. The division between the sestet and the octave corresponds to a division of thought. The octave may be the question and the sestet the answer. • The English Sonnet (also known as the Shakespearean Sonnet) consists of three quatrains and a concluding couplet , rhyming abab cdcd efef gg. The sonnet is effective when used for the discussion of death or serious treatment of love.

  8. SONNET 130 • My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;Coral is far more red than her lips' red;If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,But no such roses see I in her cheeks; And in some perfumes is there more delightThan in the breath that from my mistress reeks.I love to hear her speak, yet well I knowThat music hath a far more pleasing sound;I grant I never saw a goddess go;My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:   And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare   As any she belied with false compare.- William Shakespeare Sonnet 130- William Shakespeare

  9. Villanelle • Villanelle is a 19 line poem that consists of 5 tercets and a quatrain. And in those tercets, the first and third tercet is used as a refrain throughout the whole poem and makes the final couplet in the quatrain. villanelle Villanelle Villanelle Villanelle Villanelle Villanelle villanelle Villanelle Villanelle Villanelle

  10. Villanelle:The Home on the hill They are all gone away, The house is shut and still, There is nothing more to say Through broken walls and gray, The wind blows bleak and shrill, They are all gone away Nor is there one today, To speak them good or ill There is nothing more to say Why is it then we stray Around the sunken sill? They are all gone away And our poor fancy play For them is wasted skill There is nothing more to say There is ruin and decay In the House on the Hill: They are all gone away, There is nothing more to say. -Edward Arlington Robinson (1869-1935)
