3. WORDS TO LEARN ABOUT POETRY. POETRY is a type of literature that expresses ideas and feelings, or tells a story in a specific form (usually using lines and stanzas) POET the author of the poem, the person who actually wrote it SPEAKER the narrator of the poem, the voice telling us the thoughts/feelings/story FORM the appearance of the words on the page LINE - a group of words together on one line of the poem STANZA - a group of lines arranged together POETIC SOUND EFFECTS - The kind of repetition that most people associate with poetry is the repetition of sounds, in particular in rhyme. Apart from rhyme, there are other sound patterns in poetry which create additional meaning, such as alliteration, assonance and onomatopoeia.

4. Whats a Rhyme? Rhyme is the repetition of similar sounds in two or more words. In poetry these words are usually at the end of a line and help create a certain rhythm. Most traditional poems use rhyme as a basic device for holding the poem together. Rhyme is the agreement in sound between words or syllables. Poets use rhyme to recall earlier words, to emphasize certain points, and to make their language memorable. In fact, rhymes can be extremely effective in making language take hold in a reader s mind. Example: tree, me, see, be, fleeall rhyme because they end with the same sound. Words sound alike because they share the same ending vowel and consonant sounds. Share the short a vowel sound Share the combined mp consonant sound LAMP STAMP Look at these two words. Ministry of Education - Second Semester 2020-2021 Eng. 219 - Poetry - Chapter 2: Rhymes

6. Here is an example of a poem that uses rhyming: Find the rhyming words. Animal Tao A cat is mostly yin; of the Cosmos she is the twin. Like the mysterious Cosmic Laws, she keeps well-hidden her claws until some urgent necessity. A dog is thoroughly yang, with his boisterous bark and his fang. Ignoring the subtler laws and concealing none of his flaws, he pursues life and cats with avidity. A dog is always searching, but a cat is content with perching. The dog loves to follow his nose, while the cat simply sits there and knows. Activity ends in tranquility. Ministry of Education - Second Semester 2020-2021 Eng. 219 - Poetry - Chapter 2: Rhymes

7. Check your answers. Animal Tao A cat is mostly yin; of the Cosmos she is the twin. Like the mysterious Cosmic Laws, she keeps well-hidden her claws until some urgent necessity. A dog is thoroughly yang, with his boisterous bark and his fang. Ignoring the subtler laws and concealing none of his flaws, he pursues life and cats with avidity. A dog is always searching, but a cat is content with perching. The dog loves to follow his nose, while the cat simply sits there and knows. Activity ends in tranquility. The words yin and twin rhyme, as well as the words laws, claws and flaws rhyme. Also, necessity, avidity and tranquility as well as nose and knows and also searching and perching rhyme.

8. However, you should know that there are a number of rhyme forms that deviate from the exact observance of the full rhyme. One talks about a rich rhyme when the consonant before the last stressed vowel is identical: lap/clap, stick/ecclesiastic. When the two rhyme words are in fact the same, it is an identical rhyme. When two rhyme words look and sound the same but have different meanings this is called a homonym. Both rich rhyme and identical rhyme have at times been considered bad form. Sometimes, only the consonantsor only the vowel sounds are identical. In such cases one speaks of half-rhymes, slantrhymes or pararhymes: reader/rider (consonance: same consonants but different stressed vowel) poppet/profit, forever/weather (assonance: same vowels, different consonants) opposite/spite, home/come (eye-rhyme: spelling identical but pronunciation different) The most noticeable rhyme is the rhyme at the end of a line, the end-rhyme. But there are also rhymes within lines, so-called internal rhymes. stick sick / fly- eye : end-rhyme I ve a head like a concertina; I ve a tongue like a button-stick I ve a mouth like an old potato, and I m more than a little sick, B ut I ve had my fun o the Corp ral sGuards: I ve made the cinders fly, And I m here in the Clink for a thundering drinkand blacking the Corporal s eye. Clink rhymes drink inside the same line. internal rhyme. Ministry of Education - Second Semester 2020-2021 Eng. 219 - Poetry - Chapter 2: Rhymes

9. RHYME SCHEME What s meant by a rhyme scheme? It s a pattern of rhyming words or sounds (usually end rhyme, but not always). Use the letters of the alphabet to represent sounds to be able to visually see the pattern. Look at the following example: a There once was a big fat cat, Cat and sat rhyme, as well as mice and nice. So, the rhyme scheme is a, b, a, b. b That liked to eat cute little mice. a All day he watched while he sat, For those mice that tasted so nice. b Ministry of Education - Second Semester 2020-2021 Eng. 219 - Poetry - Chapter 2: Rhymes

10. However, if the poem went like this: There once was a big fat cat, a That liked to eat cute little mice. b Cat and sat still rhyme, however, mice and anticipation do not. a All day he watched while he sat, So, the rhyme scheme would be a, b, a, c. Licking his lips in anticipation. c Ministry of Education - Second Semester 2020-2021 Eng. 219 - Poetry - Chapter 2: Rhymes

11. Function of Rhyme Scheme Rhyme scheme is an integral part of the constitution of a poem, which includes meter, length of phrase, and rhythm. Rhyme scheme, like other writing tools, is used to create balance and relieve tension, manage flow, create rhythm, and highlight important ideas. Its basic function is to form units of sound and suggest units of sense. It also communicates the idea in a more effective way.

12. Remember: Rhyming lines can be arranged according to different patterns. The same rhymes are marked using small letters of the alphabet. continuous rhyme aaaa bbbb ... rhyming couplets aa bb cc ... alternate rhyme abab cdcd ... embracing rhyme abba cddc ... chain rhyme aba bcb cdc ... tail rhyme aab ccb ... Ministry of Education - Second Semester 2020-2021 Eng. 219 - Poetry - Chapter 2: Rhymes

13. Remember: Assonance is the repetition of vowel-sounds within non-rhyming words. Consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds within words, but not at the start of a word. Alliteration is the repetition of beginning sounds of words. Find out among the following poems the poem that uses assonance, the poem that uses consonance and the one that uses alliteration. Rend with tremendous Sound your ears asunder, With Gun, Drum, Trumpet, Blunderbuss & Thunder Ladder and bitter Spelled and scald Dress and boss But my grandest creation, as history will tell, Was Firefrorefiddle, the Fiend of the Fell.
