1. Welcome Back!
Today, we’ll continue working on our poetry skills and start working on the more challenging elements of poetry: rhythm and rhyme.
You’ll need a sheet of paper titled Notes: Rhythm and Rhyme

2. Quick Review: What makes poetry, poetry?

3. Rhythm & Rhyme

4. “Sonnet 18” by William Shakespeare
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:
   So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
   So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

5. The Pleasure of the Poetic Pattern

6. Word Sounds
Eye rhyme rhymes only when spelled, not when pronounced. For example, “through” and “rough.”
Identical rhyme employs the same word, identically in sound and in sense, twice in rhyming positions.
Internal rhyme is rhyme within a single line of verse, when a word from the middle of a line is rhymed with a word at the end of the line.
Half rhyme is the rhyming of the ending consonant sounds in a word (such as “tell” with “toll,” or “sopped” with “leapt”). This is also termed “off-rhyme,” “slant rhyme,”. 
Near rhyme rhyming in which the words sound the same but do not rhyme perfectly. “shape/keep” or “hold/bald”

7. Word Sounds
Alliteration occurs when a series of words in a row (or close together) have the same first consonant sound.
For example, “She sells sea-shells down by the sea-shore” or “Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers” are both alliterative phrases.
Assonance  the repetition of the sound of a vowel or diphthong in nonrhyming stressed syllables near enough to each other for the echo to be discernible
Carl Sandburg, in Early Moon, the long "o" sounds old or mysterious.
"Poetry is old, ancient, goes back far. It is among the oldest of living things. So old it is that no man knows how and why the first poems came."
Consonance is a pleasing sounding caused by the repetition of consonant sounds within sentences, phrases, or in poems. Typically this repetition occurs at the end of the words, but may also be found within a word or at the beginning.
Mike likes his new bike.
I will crawl away the ball.
He stood on the road and cried.

8. Word Play Dictionary meaning of words Denotation Connotation
Suggestions of emotional coloration that imply our attitude and invite similar one from our hearers
For example, the words childish, childlike and youthful have the same denotative but different connotative meanings.
Childish and childlike have a negative connotation as they refer to immature behavior of a person. Whereas, youthful implies that a person is lively and energetic.

9. Syntax & Inversion & Enjambment
Enjambment the continuation of a sentence without a pause beyond the end of a line, couplet, or stanza.
Syntax is the way the sentences are put together
Inversion is the reversal of the normal word order in a sentence or phrase.
Poets often use inversion to accommodate the demands of meter and rhyme.
My pleasant things lie in ashes,
And I shall behold them no more.
Normal order
Inversion
“My pleasant things in ashes lie,
And them behold no more shall I.”
