1. Poetry Terms Time to take some notes!

2. Poetry Terms – 3 areas of analysis Musicality How things sound Imagery Five senses and kinesthetic and organic (physical sensation) Rhyme Scheme End rhyme and internal rhyme

3. Poetry Terms – A Closer Look Musicality This includes Alliteration, Assonance and Consonance

4. Musicality  Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in neighboring words. Example: And sings a solitary song /That whistles in the wind  Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds but not consonant sounds. Example: fleet feet sweep by sleeping greeks  Consonance is the repetition of final consonant sounds. Example: She sat, feet in front.

5. Musicality We Real Cool The Pool Player. Seven at the Golden Shovel. We real cool. We Left school. We Lurk late. We Strike straight. We Sing sin. We Thin gin. We Jazz June. We Die soon.

7. Old Woman The owl-car clatters along, dogged by the echo From the building and battered paving-stone. The headlight scoffs at the mist, And fixes its yellow rays in the cold slow rain; Against a pane I press my forehead And drowsily look on the walls and sidewalks. The headlight finds the way And life is gone from the wet and the welter- - Only an old woman, bloated, disheveled and bleared. Far-wandered waif on other days, Huddles for sleep in a doorway, Homeless. Alliteration Assonance Consonance

8. Imagery  Imagery is language that evokes one or all of the five senses - sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. It also includes kinesthetic sense (physical movement) and physical sense (organic)  Repetition is the repeating of a word, a phrase or an idea for emphasis or for rhythmic effect. Example: “someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door”

9. Foreshadowing Often times, this gives us “clues” as to what may be coming up “ She had always been a good girl, but that was about to change…”

10. Rhyme Scheme  For End Rhyme, label the last word with letters from the alphabet. Increasing each letter with each new rhyme you find.  Remember that Repetition, Alliteration, Consonance and Assonance also still are at play.  Rhyme Scheme will add to the musicality of a poem.
