Rhythm rhythm is the pattern of stressed

times you hear a sound of a vowel when

the rhythm of a poem let's see here we

mental pictures and sensory experiences
for the
reader this means the writer chooses
words that help you imagine how things

peaceful the atmosphere
is where Shadows play where you can see
only the Shadows of the things around
like trees and the owl
another element is
line it is the basic unit of
poetry often characterized by its length
Rhythm and Arrangement on the
page let's look at this poem by Dr Jerel
titled to
Josephine by looking at how this PO is
written we can see that it has eight
lines Ral dedicated this poem to
Josephine Bracken an Irish woman who
went to the pan accompanying a man
seeking results Services as an
opthalmologist let's now talk about
sound
devices the techniques such as rhyme
rhythm
alliteration
assonance
consonants and aatopia that create
auditory effects enhance the musicality
of a
poem you learned about the rhyme and
Rhythm now alliteration is when words
near one another repeat the same sound
at the beginning of the words
example silent Stars softly shine Silver
Streams serenely
scribe the repetition of the S sound
make the lines stand out to the
reader
consonants is the repetition of
consonant sounds from anywhere in the
word not only at the beginning of a
word
example waves Rave caves
Echo do you hear the repetition of the V
sound another example is I reminisce on
the stress I
caused what do you think is the
consonant sound that stood out in the
line
very good the S
[Music]
sound assonance is the repetition of
vowel sound from anywhere in the
word take note consonants is repetition
of consonant sound assonance is the
repetition of vowel
sound example Breeze through leaves
Serene and free Eevees sweet ease
beneath the
trees what vowel sound stood out in
these
lines correct the long e
sound now on an aatopia is when words
sound like the noise being
described example the hiss of
snake the buzz of
bee hiss is the sound of
snake Buzz is the sound of
be can you think of any other
onomatopeia examples
let us move on to another
element figurative
language figurative language add depth
nuance and emotion to poetry by going
Beyond literal
meanings the common figurative languages
used in a poem are
simile
metaphor
personification and
hyperbole simile is the use of as or
like in comparing two different
things for
example his voice was like a soothing
laabi his voice is being compared to a
laabi using the word
like this means that his voice and the
lullabi both have soothing and calming
[Music]
sounds metaphor is a direct comparison
of two unlike things without the use of
like or
ass example her laughter was a Cascade
of golden sunlight
[Music]
her laughter is being compared to a
golden sunlight warming the hearts
around
her another figurative language is what
we call as
personification
personification is when human traits and
emotions are attributed to nonhuman
objects animals or AB abstract
Concepts example the wind whispered
Secrets through the trees sharing
stories of Forgotten
lands the wind is personified using the
words whispered
Secrets
hyperboy involves exaggerated statements
or claims not meant to be taken
literally for example I am so hungry I
could eat a
horse here the exaggeration highlights
extreme hunger in a dramatic
way how about you can you think of a
sentence using any of the figurative
language we discussed
very good
[Applause]
kid last element of poetry is the
theme the central idea message or
underlying meaning of a poem is often
expressed through recurring images
symbols and
motives but how do we identify the theme
of a poem
well we'll look at the
context poems often have
biographical historical and social
cultural contexts because these contexts
greatly influence the themes Styles and
messages of the
[Music]
poems biographical context includes the
life
experiences backgrounds beliefs and
personal history of the
