Sound Units, Words, and Sentences in Poetry Alliteration, assonance, and Latin roots

Sound Units The sound units of a poem are its syllables Remember syllables? Ex. “Metaphors” by Sylvia Plath had 9 syllables in every line How many syllables in the word enemy? Three! En-eh-mee Poets think about all the sounds in their poems. Alliteration Repeating consonants Assonance Repeating vowels

Word Roots These are the pieces of words that come from words in earlier languages Usually Latin, Greek, and early Germanic English These roots are retained in prefixes (the beginning part) of words Re “again” Return, revolve, repair, represent Ex “out of” Explain, expire, exhale Pre “in front of” Precede, prefer, preclude Com “with” Compare, commemorate, connote, colloquium De “away from” Delete, defer, delay, defend In “not” Inexplicable, innocent, immiscible

Sentences Sometimes, in poetry, the grammatical structure of the sentence has been rearranged to fit the verse the poet has chosen to write in. It can be helpful to identify the main subject and main verb in a poem and then rewrite the sentence in a normal English grammar structure to decipher the meaning.
