Analyzing Poetic Devices My Papa’s Waltz By Theodore Roethke

Trimeter has three stressed syllables per line, tetrameter has four stressed syllables, pentameter has five, and hexameter has six. Rhyme is the echo effect produced when a writer repeats the same sounds at the ends of words. Rhyme scheme is the pattern created by rhyming at the ends of lines of poetry.
