3. Approximate Rhyme / Half Rhyme Meaning When the words repeat some sounds, but are not exact echoes Example Mean, fine Rate, bet Life, die Beef, streets Sounds are similar, but not exact

7. Meter Meaning The pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in poetry as expressed by syllabication. Syllabication is the use of stressed and unstressed markings.

8. Foot/Feet Meaning A “foot” is the combination of stressed and unstressed syllables that make up a recurrent metric unit of a line. Example

9. Scanning We “scan” a poem to determine its basic meter and to consider the relevance of that rhythm to the meaning of the poem. When we scan a poem, we begin by saying the poetic lines aloud, paying careful attention to the syllables which seem to be stressed (pronounced with more emphasis).

10. Iambs This pattern of ~ / (unstressed/stressed) is called an iamb. The following are examples of iambic feet.

Other Patterns Along with the iamb, there are other possible patterns: Pattern Noun Adjective ~ / iamb iambic ~ ~ / anapest anapestic / ~ trochee trochaic / ~ ~ dactyl dactylic / / spondee spondaic
