POETRY FORM  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

KINDS OF STANZAS Couplet=a two line stanza Triplet (Tercet)=a three line stanza Quatrain=a four line stanza Quintet=a five line stanza Sestet (Sextet)=a six line stanza Septet=a seven line stanza Octave=an eight line stanza

And now... SOUND EFFECTS

What is RHYTHM?  The beat created by the sounds of the words in a poem  Rhythm can be created by metre, rhyme, alliteration and refrain.

METRE  A pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables.  Meter occurs when the stressed and unstressed syllables of the words in a poem are arranged in a repeating pattern.  When poets write in metre, they count out the number of stressed (strong) syllables and unstressed (weak) syllables for each line. They they repeat the pattern throughout the poem.

METRE (cont.)  FOOT - unit of meter.  A foot can have two or three syllables.  Usually consists of one stressed and one or more unstressed syllables.  TYPES OF FEET The types of feet are determined by the arrangement of stressed and unstressed syllables. (cont.)

METRE cont. Kinds of Metrical Lines  monometre=one foot on a line  dimetre=two feet on a line  trimetre =three feet on a line  tetrametre=four feet on a line  pentametre=five feet on a line  Exametre/Alexandrine=six feet on a line  heptametre=seven feet on a line  octometer=eight feet on a line

FREE VERSE POETRY  Unlike metered poetry, free verse poetry does NOT have any repeating patterns of stressed and unstressed syllables.  Does NOT have rhyme.  Free verse poetry is very conversational - sounds like someone talking with you. Robert Frost wrote: “Writing free verse is like playing tennis with the net down”.  Another modern type of poetry is the figurative poem.
