Poetry
“Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.”
~Robert Frost
Onomatopoeia
When a word’s pronunciation imitates its sound.
Examples
Buzz FizzWoof
Hiss ClinkBoom
Beep Vroom Zip
Repetition
Repeating a word or words for effect.
Example
When you, my Dear, are away, away, How wearily goes the creeping day.
Rhythm
When words are arranged in such a way that they make a pattern or beat.
Example
There once was a girl from Chicago
Who dyed her hair pink in the bathtub
I own a solace shut within my heart,
A garden full of many a quaint delight
Hint: hum the words instead of saying them.
Rhyme
When words have the same end sound.
Happens at the beginning, end, or middle of lines.
Examples
Where
Fair
Air
Bear
Glare
Alliteration
When the first sounds in words repeat.
Example
Peter Piper picked a pickled pepper.
Slim-pinioned swallows sweep and pass
Couplets:A pair of rhyming lines in a poem often set off from the
rest of the poem. Shakespeare’s sonnets all
end in couplets.
Blank verse:Unrhymed lines of poetry
usually in iambic pentameter. Plenty of modern poetry is
written in blank verse.
Tone:The author’s attitude toward
his or her subject. For example, a tone could be pessimistic, optimistic, or
angry.
Lyric:A type of poetry that expresses the poet’s
emotions. It often tells some sort of brief story, engaging
the reading in the experience.
Fable:A story that illustrates a
moral often using animals as the character—for example, The Tortoise and the Hare.
Figurative Language: For example,
• you can call someone who is very angry “steaming.” Unless steam was actually coming out of your ears, you were using figurative language.
• He’s a fox. Literally you don’t mean that the person is an animal. What you mean is that the person possesses qualities that of the fox – being cunning and selfish
Language that does not mean exactly what it says.
A huge exaggeration. For example, “Dan’s the funniest guy on the planet!” or “That
baseball card is worth a zillion dollars!”
Hyperbole:
I'd rather take bathswith a man-eating shark,or wrestle a lionalone in the dark,eat spinach and liver,pet ten porcupines,than tackle the homework,my teacher assigns.
Giving inanimate object human characteristics. For
example, “The flames reached for the child hovering in the
corner.”
Personification:
A comparison that uses “like” or “as”
For example, “I’m as hungry as a wolf,” or “My love is like a
rose.”
