Musical Devices In Poetry

Poetry is MUSIC OF LANGUAGE A poet chooses words for sound as well as for meaning, and uses sound as a means to reinforce meaning. Musical elements may be just for the sake of creating “verbal music”, but in first-rate poetry it is adjunct to the meaning of the entire poem. The essential element in music is repetition poets repeat certain sounds in certain combinations.

The Purpose of Repetition To please the ear Emphasize words and reinforce meaning Give structure to the poem Words or sound repetitions are common in poetry Syllable- a vowel sound that may be preceded or followed by a consonant sound Refrain- repetition in a fixed pattern

Repetition of Sound Alliteration- repetition of initial consonant sounds. Assonance- repetition of vowel sounds “mad as a hatter” or “free and easy” Consonance- repetition of final consonant sounds. “first and last”, “odds and ends” These repetitions can be used alone or in combination “time and tide”, “thick and thin” “The viol, the violet, and the vine”

Rhyme Masculine Rhyme- rhyme involves one syllable. Ex: support and retort Feminine Rhyme- rhyme involves two or more syllables. Ex: turtle and fertile, spitefully and delightfully Internal rhyme- one or more rhyming words are within one line. External rhyme- rhyming words at the end of a line. ( most common b/c of musical effect) Slant rhymes- substitute imperfect rhymes at end of lines in order to achieve musical effect.

What purpose does the refrain serve in establishing that tone?
