Introduction to Poetry Key Terms

Standard ELA8R1g The student Analyzes and evaluates the effects of sound, form, figurative language, and graphics in order to uncover meaning in literature: i. Sound (e.g., alliteration, onomatopoeia, internal rhyme, rhyme scheme, meter) ii. Figurative language (e.g., simile, metaphor, personification, hyperbole, symbolism, imagery).

What is a Poem(1)? A poem is a verbal composition created in verse rather than prose Prose is ordinary writing that relies on sentences and paragraphs. Verse is writing that happens in lines or stanzas. It is not confined to paragraphs.

Line (4) A line is a row of words within a poem. A line might be very long, or it might be as short as one word, or even one letter. One complete thought might be split up over several lines, so a reader shouldn’t necessarily pause at the end each line. It might flow right into the next one with no stop. Pause when you reach punctuation.

1. How many lines? 2. Where should the reader pause? If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain. - Emily Dickinson

Stanza (3) A stanza is one group of lines within a poem. A stanza can be made of as many lines as the poet desires. Stanzas are usually separated by a horizontal gap of space on a page. A poem might have one stanza or many stanzas. The form each stanza follows does not have to match, but it can.

How Many Stanzas I have eatenThis is Just To Say the plumsby: William Carlos Williams that were in the icebox and which you were probably saving for breakfast Forgive me they were delicious so sweet and so cold

Rhyme (2) A rhyme is 2 or more words that end with the same vowel sound. Poems can rhyme, but they don’t have to. Rhyming words can be found in a Rhyming Dictionary

Rhyme Scheme (5) Rhyme Scheme is the pattern in which a poem’s rhymes are arranged. Some poems have a very rigid, predictable rhyme scheme pattern Some poems have no rhyme scheme at all

Labeling Rhyme Scheme We label rhyme scheme by calling the first line “A.” Every line in that stanza that rhymes with “A” is labeled “A.” The first line that does NOT rhyme with “A” is labeled “B.” Every line that rhymes with “B” is labeled “B.” Continue going through the alphabet until you run out of lines in the stanza. We name the rhyme scheme after the pattern

Example: A Hippo is Bounding… A hippo is bounding around on my head. Gorillas are banging on drums. A rhino is charging me full speed ahead while a crocodile's eyeing my thumbs. A rattlesnake's winding his way up my side. A tiger is sniffing my clothes. A grizzly just grabbed me, his mouth open wide. A tarantula's perched on my nose. I'm drowning, surrounded by man-eating sharks. An elephant sits on my chest. Yes, that's how it feels when the teacher remarks, "Grab your pencils. It's time for the test." --Kenn Nesbitt

Free Verse (22) Free Verse is when a poem has no set rhyme or pattern. The verse does not conform to a specified number of lines or syllables. It may have no rhyme whatsoever, though the author may occasionally throw a rhyme in here and there. The rhyme, however, will NOT have a pattern.

Free Verse Example Sunset by: Lillian Moore There's dazzle in the western sky Colors spill and run The pond mouth lies open greedy for the last drop of melting sun
