Types of Rhyme Near Rhyme Sam Am Ham Seen/been Internal rhyme-an individual line of poetry contains one or more words that rhyme. Use for emphasis or additional unity Slant Rhyme (n): When the end words of two lines of poetry share a similar sound but do not “rhyme” in the traditional sense (known as “full” or perfect rhyme). Rhyme Scheme– the pattern of rhyming words within a given stanza or poem; identified with a letter of the alphabet. Ask: Is rhyme scheme germane to the effect or meaning of a poem. Onomatopoeia- murmur – WHY USE IT? Near Rhyme Sam Am Ham

Use of Repetition Alliteration-repetition of initial sounds; intensify effects, add weight to an idea, makes verse easier to remember. James Thomson's verse "Come…dragging the lazy languid line along." Consonance–repetition of consonants within a line or at the end of words. Used to create subtle harmonies. Ex: "some mammals are clammy“; odds and ends; struts and frets; a.k.a. Dissonance, Half rhyme, and Oblique Rhyme (or Slant Rhyme) --rhyme in which either the vowels or the consonants of stressed syllables are identical, as in eyes, light; years, yours. Assonance- repetition of similar vowel sounds; can be used to create near, or slant, rhyme. EX: earth and hearth Example: The plate was shapely and well-made.

(uh, goot gawd) the process of analyzing meter What is it good for? Meter contributes to the poem’s meaning, structure, tone, and effect Cute little song Irene is an iamb Tanya is a trochee Sue-Ann is a spondee Deborah is a dactyl Antoinette is an anapest

Caesura, Enjambment, End-Stop It’s an internal pause—usually indicated by a period, semicolon, dash, or other punctuation. End-Stopped CLASS Enjambment, often called run-on, is indicated by an absence of punctuation and eliminates the need for pause. Don’t stop reading until you see punctuation!

Free Verse Do poems have to rhyme? Is Free Verse really poetry? While Ezra Pound is largely credited with starting the free verse poetry movement that created more relaxed style requirements and eliminated the wide-spread use of formal poetry, there are still plenty of aficionados out there who firmly believe that all poetry should rhyme. These are ten of the reasons they use to support their argument, and reasons why some believe that rhyming poetry is far superior to its free-verse brethren. Do poems have to rhyme? Is Free Verse really poetry? Is "The Red Wheelbarrow" a poem?
