Toboggan Hill by Gordon Downie

I’m thinking back to when we were youngand eating donutswith a set of plastic vampire teeththat we were passing back and forth.We weren’t so young as tothink a dog was a horse.Nor were we old enough yet to namethe cold purpose of musical chairs.We were like-minded spiritsekeing out a rhythmwhispering transmissionsthrough wet woollen mittens.Growing up on a toboggan hillnothing was material.

I’m thinking back to when we were youngif only to find outforensicallywhat it waswe used towant.

Each pair/group will use the poems you brought to class today.

Analyze and discuss the voices and diction and write a thesis to show

the main differences between your selections to share and discuss.

hyme and Rhythm

Page 9: Introducing... DRIFT

Rhyme is the author’s use of words with similar or identical sounds.

Rhythm is the author’s control of the flow of sound. This can be

achieved through the use of punctuation, line lengths and breaks, syllables, diction, etc.

Page 10: Introducing... DRIFT

Rhyme is used very often in poetry but it’s never quite as obvious as...

Page 11: Introducing... DRIFT

This example is called True Rhyme. The matching sounds are identical which

makes this the easiest rhyme to spot.

Page 12: Introducing... DRIFT

Slant Rhyme (or half rhyme) is where the sounds are similar but

not identical.

Example:I sat in the dark

nursing my broken heart.

Page 13: Introducing... DRIFT

Eye Rhyme (or sight rhyme) is where the last syllables look alike

but sound different.

Example:have and grave

Page 14: Introducing... DRIFT

Internal Rhyme links two or more rhyming words within the same

line. Ie. “The bird heard the word of Mr.

Graham”

Double Rhyme is a two-syllable rhyme as in “running” and

“sunning”

Page 15: Introducing... DRIFT

A Rhyme Scheme is a recurring pattern of rhymed endings

repeated regularly in each stanza.

Examples: ABAB, AABB, ABBA, etc.

This Is a Photograph of Me by Margaret Atwood

It was taken some time ago.At first it seems to bea smearedprint: blurred lines and grey flecksblended with the paper;

then, as you scanit, you see in the left-hand cornera thing that is like a branch: part of a tree(balsam or spruce) emergingand, to the right, halfway upwhat ought to be a gentleslope, a small frame house.

In the background there is a lake,and beyond that, some low hills.

(The photograph was takenthe day after I drowned.

I am in the lake, in the centreof the picture, just under the surface.

It is difficult to say whereprecisely, or to sayhow large or small I am:the effect of wateron light is a distortion

but if you look long enough,eventuallyyou will be able to see me.)

Poetry can take many different forms. Each for comes with its own unique rules and limitations that can affect numerous elements.

Examples: Sonnet, Free Verse, Blank Verse, Haiku, etc.

Page 23: Introducing... DRIFT

A writer’s attitude and approach towards his/her subject and/or

audience. This attitude can best be discovered through the choice of diction which collectively reveals

the tone.

I don’t want tobecause boysdon’t write poetry.

Girls do.
