Poetry A genre of literature that uses carefully chosen and arranged words and often has rhythm and rhyme

Rhythm Rhythm is the flow of the beat in a poem. Gives poetry a musical feel. You can measure rhythm in meter, by counting the beats in each line Meter is the regular rhythm of a poem.

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.

Sound Devices Bang! Bang! Bang! POP!! Sizzle!!! Writers love to use language that appeals to the reader’s ear in their poems. These sound devices include: Rhyme Repetition Alliteration Assonance Onomatopoeia Bang! Bang! Bang! POP!! Sizzle!!!

Rhyme Rhymes are words that end with the same sound. (Hat, cat and bat rhyme.) Rhyming sounds don’t have to be spelled the same way. (Cloud and allowed rhyme.)

AABB Rhyming Pattern First Snow Snow makes whiteness where it falls. The bushes look like popcorn balls. And places where I always play, Look like somewhere else today. By Marie Louise Allen

Alliteration Alliteration is the repetition of the first consonant sound in words, as in the nursery rhyme “Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.” The snake slithered silently along the sunny sidewalk.

Alliteration Example I jiggled it jaggled it jerked it. I pushed This Tooth I jiggled it jaggled it jerked it. I pushed and pulled and poked it. But – As soon as I stopped, And left it alone This tooth came out On its very own! by Lee Bennett Hopkins

(All share the long “a” sound.) ASSONANCE Repeated VOWEL sounds in a line or lines of poetry. (Often creates near rhyme.) Lake Fate Base Fade (All share the long “a” sound.)

Onomatopoeia Words that represent the actual sound of something are words of onomatopoeia. Dogs “bark,” cats “purr,” thunder “booms,” rain “drips,” and the clock “ticks.” Appeals to the sense of sound.

Onomatopoeia Example Scrunch, scrunch, scrunch. Listen Scrunch, scrunch, scrunch. Crunch, crunch, crunch. Frozen snow and brittle ice Make a winter sound that’s nice Underneath my stamping feet And the cars along the street. by Margaret Hillert

Imagery Imagery is the use of words to create pictures, or images, in your mind. Appeals to the five senses: smell, sight, hearing, taste and touch. Five Senses

SYMBOL = Innocence = America = Peace When a person, place, thing, or event that has meaning in itself also represents, or stands for, something else.

Figurative Language Figurative Language is a tool that writers use to create images, or “paint pictures,” in your mind. Similes, metaphors, and personification are three figures of speech that create imagery.

Simile A simile compares two things using the words “like” or “as.” Comparing one thing to another creates a vivid image. The runner streaked like a cheetah.

Simile Example An emerald is as green as grass, A ruby red as blood; Flint An emerald is as green as grass, A ruby red as blood; A sapphire shines as blue as heaven; A flint lies in the mud. A diamond is a brilliant stone, To catch the world’s desire; An opal holds a fiery spark; But a flint holds fire. By Christina Rosetti

The winter wind is a wolf howling at the door. Metaphor A metaphor compares two things without using the words “like” or “as.” Gives the qualities of one thing to something that is quite different. The winter wind is a wolf howling at the door.

Metaphor Example The Night is a Big Black Cat The moon is her topaz eye, The stars are the mice she hunts at night, In the field of the sultry sky. By G. Orr Clark

Personification Personification gives human traits and feelings to things that are not human – like animals or objects. The moon smiled down at me.

Personification Example From “Mister Sun” Mister Sun Wakes up at dawn, Puts his golden Slippers on, Climbs the summer Sky at noon, Trading places With the moon. by J. Patrick Lewis

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. Stanzas separate ideas in a poem. They act like paragraphs. This poem has two stanzas.

Haiku A haiku is a Japanese poem with 3 lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. (Total of 17 syllables.) Does not rhyme. Is about an aspect of nature or the seasons. Captures a moment in time. Little frog among rain-shaken leaves, are you, too, splashed with fresh, green paint? by Gaki

Concrete Poem A concrete poem (also called shape poem) is written in the shape of its subject. The way the words are arranged is as important what they mean. Does not have to rhyme.

Lyric Poetry Poetry which is a brief, musical expression of the poet’s thoughts and feelings. I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Narrative Poetry Poetry that tells a story Listen my children and you shall hear Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five; Hardly a man is now alive Who remembers that famous day and year.

The perspective from which a poem is told POINT OF VIEW- The perspective from which a poem is told VOICE- The way the writer uses language to reflect his or her personality and attitude toward the subject and audience. SPEAKER- The character who narrates or speaks in a poem TONE- The author’s attitude toward the subject matter Hello! Hi!

Mood Mood is the atmosphere, or emotion, in the poem created by the poet. Can be happy, angry, silly, sad, excited, fearful or thoughtful.

Mood - Barefoot Days Barefoot Days by Rachel Field In the morning, very early, That’s the time I love to go Barefoot where the fern grows curly And grass is cool between each toe, On a summer morning-O! On a summer morning! That is when the birds go by Up the sunny slopes of air, And each rose has a butterfly Or a golden bee to wear; And I am glad in every toe – Such a summer morning-O! Such a summer morning! The mood in this poem is happy. What clues in the poem can you use to determine the mood?

Mood - Mad Song Mad Song I shut my door To keep you out Won’t do no good To stand and shout Won’t listen to A thing you say Just time you took Yourself away I lock my door To keep me here Until I’m sure You disappear. By Myra Cohn Livingston The mood in this poem is angry. What clues in the poem can you use to determine the mood?

Theme The central message about life revealed through a literary work.
