POETRY’S STRUCTURE AND FORM POETRY’S RHYTHM Rhythm gives a poem its sound, and there are many different ways that rhythm is used, and lots of elements in poetry that are related to rhythm. Stress / Accent A line of poetry is filled with syllables. When a syllable is given emphasis, it is called a stressed syllable. Stress is the emphasis given to the syllable.

Foot A foot is a combination of stressed and unstressed syllables in a line of poetry. There are many different combinations, but some are more popular than others. An unstressed (or light) syllable is marked with a and a stressed syllable (or heavy) is marked with a Iamb: A foot with two syllables, one that is not stressed and one that is, in that order. Trochee: A foot with two syllables, this time with one that is stressed and one that is not. Spondee: A foot with two syllables, both of which are stressed. Anapest: A foot with three syllables, two stressed syllables followed by one unstressed syllable Dactyl: A foot with three syllables, one stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables

Meter This is the number of feet that is in a line of poetry. A line of poetry can have any number of feet, and can have more than one type of foot. There are some meters that are used more often than others. Monometer: a line with 1 foot Dimeter: A line with 2 feet Trimeter: A line with 3 feet Tetrameter: A line with 4 feet Pentameter: A line with 5 feet Hexameter: A line with 6 feet Heptameter: A line with 7 feet Octameter: a line with 8 feet Example: How do / I love / thee? Let / me count / the ways. (iambic pentameter) from “Sonnet 43” by Elizabeth Barrett Browning Example: Once up / on a / midnight / dreary / while I / pondered / weak and / weary. (trochaic octameter) from “The Raven” by E.A. Poe

POETRY’S FORM There is no one way to write a poem. In fact, there are many ways, and many different forms! Sometimes it is the meter of the poem that gives you the form, sometimes it’s the content, and sometimes it is the organization of it. Stanza A group of lines in a poem. A stanza is similar to the paragraph. Quatrain A stanza of four lines Couplet A stanza of two lines Ballad A ballad is a poem that usually tells a story that is similar to a folktale. It is often written in quatrains, and usually in lines that are iambic trimeter.

Elegy A poem that is sad and thoughtful, and often said in lament of a person who has died. Epic A long narrative poem Lyric A poem that express the personal mood, feeling, or meditation of a single speaker. Narrative A poem that tells a story

Sonnet In general, sonnets have 14 lines. However, there are many different types of sonnets. Petrarchan sonnet (or Italian sonnet): Each of its 14 lines will be written in iambic pentameter. There will be an octave (a group of 8 lines) at the beginning, and a sestet (a group of 6 lines) at the end. Shakespearean sonnet (or English sonnet) Each of its 14 lines will be written in iambic pentameter. There will be three quatrains, and will end with a couplet. The rhyme scheme will be A-B-A-B, C-D-C-D, E-F-E-F,G,G
