There’s nothing to fear!

“Poetry is the type of thing a poet writes.” Robert Frost Literary work which expresses feelings and ideas using style and rhythm.

 A pattern to the words that makes them fun to say and easy to remember.  Sometimes the rhythm is a simple one, and sometimes it’s more complex, but it’s not there by accident. Poets arrange their words in such a way as to create those rhythmical patterns.

 Unlike a song, poems don’t have drums. The rhythm is set by the “stresses” or “accents” in the words.  In most words that have more than one syllable, one of the syllables is pronounced more strongly than the others. We say that this syllable is “stressed” or “accented.”

 The rhythm created by stressed and unstressed syllables.  Iamb - a unit of rhythm in poetry that consists of one syllable that is not stressed followed by one syllable that is accented or stressed

 An iamb is two syllables : da DUM.  Iambic dimeter = Two iambs: da DUM / da DUM  Iambic trimeter = Three iambs: da DUM / da DUM / da DUM  Iambic tetrameter = Four iambs: da DUM / da DUM / da DUM / da DUM  Iambic pentameter = Five iambs: da DUM / da DUM / da DUM / da DUM / da DUM

my MOTH-er ATE an AP-ple AND my FATH-er ATE a PEAR. Four Iambs: Iambic Tetrameter

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;

Iambic tetrameter. Four stressed and four unstressed: 'Twas brill -ig, and the sli -thy toves Did gyre and gim -ble in the wabe

 Words that sound alike  In poetry, rhyme is often at the end of a line

 - Eye rhyme rhymes only when spelled. For example, “through” and “rough.” -End rhyme, the rhyming of the final syllables of a line. See “Midstairs,” by Virginia Hamilton Adair: And here on this turning of the stair Between passion and doubt, I pause and say a double prayer, One for you, and one for you; And so they cancel out.

 Poems use different rhyme schemes. A “rhyme scheme” is a way of describing the pattern of end rhymes in a poem.  Each new sound at the end of a line is given a letter, starting with “A,” then “B,” and so on. If an end sound repeats the end sound of an earlier line, it gets the same letter as the earlier line.

My cat is nice. My cat likes mice. My cat is fat. I like my cat.

 My cat is nice.  My cat is fat.  My cat likes mice.  I like my cat. 

My cat is gray. My cat is fat. My cat is cute. I like my cat.

 Most poems make use of the types of figurative language we’ve learned: Simile, Metaphor, Personification, and Onomatopoeia  Poems also make use of Alliteration and Assonance.

 Alliteration - when a writer repeats the consonant sounds at the beginnings of words.  Assonance -- when a writer repeats the vowel sounds in the stressed syllables of words. Ex. ”My rabbit whacked my ear.” The words “ r a bbit wh a cked ” are an example of assonance because they both contain a “short a” sound on the stressed syllable.

Alliteration and assonance do not have to have the same letters ; just the same sounds. So for example, “ f alling ph one” is alliterative and “fl y ing h igh ” is assonant, because they repeat the same sounds even though they don’t repeat the same letters.

My puppy punched me in the eye. My rabbit whacked my ear. My ferret gave a frightful cry and roundhouse kicked my rear. My lizard flipped me upside down. My kitten kicked my head. My hamster slammed me to the ground and left me nearly dead. So my advice? Avoid regrets; no matter what you do, don’t ever let your family pets take lessons in kung fu.  –Kenn Nesbitt

And those who write it, are artists! Here are some famous poets you may know…

 A two-line poem or stanza, usually rhyming. In the world of mules There are no mules.  Ogden Nash

 A ballad tells a story, often coming from local history or legend, and often involving lost love or tragedy. Some are written in couplets, others in six-line stanzas. Some are set to music.

A bunch of the boys were whooping it up In the Malamute saloon; The kid that handles the music box Was hitting a jag-time tune; Back of the bar, in a solo game, Sat dangerous Dan McGrew, And watching his luck was his light-of-love, The lady that’s known as Lou.

 There are two types of sonnets: Italian and Shakespearean. Both are 14 lines long, usually written in Iambic Pentameter (5 iambs, 10 syllables, accent on every other syllable).  The Shakespearean Sonnet has a rhyme scheme of abab, cdcd, efef, gg  Three quatrains (like a stanza) and a rhyming couplet

 Three unrhymed lines and 17 syllables, arranged in lines of 5, 7, and 5.  They often describe scenes in nature. In the rains of spring, An umbrella and raincoat “Spring Rain,” by Buson

 A five -line poem with a rhyme scheme of aabba. It has a bouncy rhythm and is usually humorous. There was an old lady whose folly Induced her to sit in a holly; Whereupon, by a thorn, Her dress being torn, She quickly became melancholy. Edward Lear

 Descriptive poems in which the first letter of each line spells out the subject of the poem. Can’t Avoid Trouble Paul Janeczko

 The words of the poem are arranged in the shape of the subject.

 Takes simple, every day objects in order to describe something in detail. Home address: “Shady Lawn” Working hours: Dusk till dawn Hobbies/Sports: Likes to climb Special skills: Making slime Selection from “Slug File” by Avis Harley
