POETRY NOTES You can use the CLASS SET of poetry notes to help you if you fall behind. Turn to the Cornell Notes side of Monday’s handout or you may write your notes elsewhere. Make sure you keep tabs on all of these terms!
POETRY NOTES Rhythm: the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in a poem. Rhyme: where two words have the same sound on their last accented vowel Types of Rhyme: End Rhyme: where the words rhyme at the end of the lines Internal Rhyme: where the words rhyme within a line. Sound Effects: Alliteration: repetition of beginning sounds or closely related sounds Assonance: repetition of identical vowel sounds Consonance: repetition of identical consonant sounds
POETRY NOTES Imagery: pictures created with our words Figures of Speech: not literal, phrases or expressions with a cultural-based definition (ex: rags to riches) Comparisons: Analogy: J. Cole’s album is to platinum as Pink Print is to lead. Metaphor: Pie is a dream. Your mom is buns. Simile: Lil’ Wayne’s mixtape is as hot as fire. Apostrophe: Addressing inanimate objects as if they were human. “Oh cup, why can’t you refill yourself?!”
POETRY NOTES Allusion: Referring metaphorically to people, places, or things from history or previous literature. It must be references that most readers would have some prior knowledge thereof. Ex: He must think he is some kind of Superman. Allegory: A form of extended metaphor where objects, people, places, and actions in a narrative are given meanings outside the narrative itself. Fables and parables are examples of special kinds of allegories. Ex: Plato’s Allegory of the Cave and “Animal Farm”
POETRY NOTES Conceit: An extended or elaborate metaphor which creates the entire framework of a poem with all of the comparisons being interrelated in some way. Ex: “What Is Our Life” by Raleigh
POETRY NOTES Symbolism: Using one object to suggest another object or an idea. Ex: A rose used to signify love. A gun or sword used to signify violence or war.
