Introduction to Poetry Poetic Devices & Terms

Rhythm Rhythm is the flow of the beat in a poem. It gives poetry a musical feel. It can be fast or slow, depending on mood and subject of poem. You can measure rhythm in meter, by counting the beats in each line.

Rhythm Example The Pickety Fence by David McCord The pickety fence Give it a lick it's A clickety fence Give it a lick it's a lickety fence Give it a lick With a rickety stick pickety pick. The rhythm in this poem is fast – to match the speed of the stick striking the fence.

Rhythm Example Where Are You Now? When the night begins to fall And the sky begins to glow You look up and see the tall City of lights begin to grow – In rows and little golden squares The lights come out. First here, then there Behind the windowpanes as though A million billion bees had built Their golden hives and honeycombs Above you in the air. By Mary Britton Miller The rhythm in this poem is slow – to match the night gently falling and the lights slowly coming on.

Lines and Stanzas Most poems are written in lines. March A blue day A blue jay And a good beginning. One crow, Melting snow – Spring’s winning! By Eleanor Farjeon Most poems are written in lines. A group of lines in a poem is called a stanza or verse. Stanzas/verses separate ideas in a poem. They act like paragraphs. This poem has two stanzas/verses.

Free Verse Poetry that follows no rules; just about anything goes. This does not mean that it uses no devices, it just means that this type of poetry does not follow traditional conventions such as punctuation, capitalization, rhyme scheme, rhythm and meter, etc. Fog The fog comes on little cat feet. It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then, moves on. No Rhyme No Rhythm No Meter This is free verse.

More About Free Verse… Revenge When I find out who took the last cooky out of the jar and left me a bunch of stale old messy crumbs, I'm going to take me a handful and crumb up someone's bed. By Myra Cohn Livingston A free verse poem does not use rhyme or patterns. Can vary freely in length of lines, stanzas, and subject.

Reading for Meaning To find meaning in a poem, readers ask questions as they read. There are many things to pay attention to when reading a poem: Title – Provides clues about – topic, mood, speaker, author’s purpose? Rhythm – Fast or slow? Why? Sound Devices – What effects do they have? Imagery – What pictures do we make in our minds? Figures of Speech – What do they tell us about the subject? Voice – Who is speaking - poet or character; one voice or more? Author’s Purpose – Sending message, sharing feelings, telling story, being funny, being descriptive? Mood – Happy, sad, angry, thoughtful, silly, excited, frightened? Plot – What is happening in the poem? Remember, to make meaning, readers must make connections and tap into their background knowledge and prior experiences as they read.
