Intro to Analyzing Poetry Poetic Devices and Steps for Analyzing Poems

Poetic Devices- Figurative Language Alliteration: repeating an initial sound several words in row “Tall trees trembled” Allusion: reference to another text, an event, or place. Sometimes used for effect or to make a comparison. The reader then makes the connection. “Betrayed by a kiss” Assonance: repeating the vowel sound of a word to make an internal rhyme in a word or phrase. “Quite like.” Consonance: repeating internal consonant sound- “chuckle and fickle”

Poetic Devices- Figuarative Language Imagery: descriptions and descriptive words that provide a mental picture of a scene, setting, or character. May include other forms of figurative language for effect. Sense words are common in imagery. Metaphor: a comparison between unlike things that does not use “like” or “as.” Simile: a comparison of unlike things, using like or as. “She slept like a baby” Irony: When one outcome is expected, and the opposite occurs/exists Pun: Play on words that creates humor. Ex: “The other day I held the door open for a clown. I thought it was a nice jester.”

Poetic Devices- Figurative Language Onomatopoeia- words that mimic a sound- “clap” Repetition- the repeating of a word or phrase- “She was young the way an actual young person is young.” Personification- Giving human qualities to objects or animals “The breeze waltzed through the woods.” Symbolism- when an object, person, or situation as a meaning other than its literal one- heart=love Diction- word choice (look for words with strong connotations)

Meter The rhythm established by a poem, not only the number of syllables but the way those syllables are accented “Yesterday upon the stair I met a man who wasn’t there He wasn’t there again today I wish, I wish he’d go away”

We real cool. We/left school. We/lurk late. We/strike straight. Rhythm The arrangement of spoken words alternating between stressed & unstressed syllables—regular, repetitive sounds We real cool. We/left school. We/lurk late. We/strike straight.

Nor had I time to love; but since Some industry must be, The little toil of love, I thought, Was large enough for me.[5]

Theme (Review) The central idea (in sentence form) of a piece of writing that the author is trying to get the reader to think about
