dog/ frog/ log
Rhyme Scheme
The pattern of rhyme in a stanza of a poem
Jimmy Jet and His TV Set
I’ll tell you a story of Jimmy Jet
A
And you know what I tell you is true
B
He loved to watch his TV set
A
Almost as much as you
B
He watched all day, he watched all night
C
Till he grew pale and lean,
D
From “The Early Show” to “The Late Late Show” E
And all the shows between
D
He watched till his eyes were frozen wide,
F
And his bottom grew into his chair.
G
And his chin turned into a tuning dial, H
And antennae grew out of his hair. G
And his brains turned into TV tubes,
And his face to a TV screen
And two knobs saying “VERT.” and “HORIZ.”
Grew where his ears had been
And he grew a plug that looked like a tail
So we plugged in little Jim
And now instead of him watching TV
We all sit around and watch him.
Rhythm and Meter
rhythm gives poetry a musical quality
that helps convey meaning- it is a
pattern of rhyme formed by the end
rhyme in a poem
Meter is a regular predictable rhythm
Listen to the Mustn’ts- Shel Silverstein
Listen to the MUSTN’TS, child,
Listen to the DON’TS
Listen to the SHOULDN’TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON’TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me-
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.
Alliteration
When the beginning of
words start with the same
Tongue twisters
Lanky Lawrence lost his
lass and lobster
Alliteration
Whether the weather be fine
Or whether the weather be not;
Whether the weather be cold
Or whether the weather be hot
We’ll weather the weather
Whatever the weather,
whether we like it or not
