  1. Poetic Terms Notes for Teach-a-Poet Presentation & British Romanticism Test Study Guide IRHS

  2. Poetic Terms • Alliteration • Assonance • Consonance • Imagery • Internal Rhyme • End Rhyme, including slant rhyme (which is also called half-rhyme or approximate rhyme) • Lyric Poetry • Sonnet • Narrative Poetry

  3. Alliteration: repetition of initial sounds in words found in a line or short section of poetry. From Frost’s “Stopping by a Woods on a Snowy Evening” Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow.

  4. Assonance: repetition of vowel sounds within words in a line or short section of poetry From Frost’s “Stopping by a Woods on a Snowy Evening” Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow.

  5. Consonance: repetition of non-rhyming, ending consonant sounds in a line or short section of poetry From Frost’s “Stopping by a Woods on a Snowy Evening” Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow.

  6. Imagery • Poetic ideas that appeal to one or several of the five senses. • Descriptions try to re-create an emotion or experience for the reader.

  7. Example of Imagery Notice the imagery that appeals to sight, sound, and smell, from “‘Out-Out’” by Robert Frost The buzz-saw snarled and rattled in the yardAnd made dust and dropped stove-length sticks of wood,Sweet-scented stuff when the breeze drew across it. And from there those that lifted eyes could count

  8. Internal Rhyme • Rhyme that occurs WITHIN a line of poetry • Can function to create a sense of movement as it propels the poem forward Example from Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven” Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,

  9. End Rhyme • Rhyme that occurs at the end of lines in poetry • Most common idea of rhyme/rhyming • The pattern of End Rhyme is called Rhyme Scheme • Note: rhyme may be achieved through approximate or similar sounds that are not exact (ex: love, move) Example from Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven” Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,

  10. Example of End Rhyme From Frost’s “Fire and Ice” Rhyme Scheme is ABAABCBCB Some say the world will end in fire,Some say in ice.From what I've tasted of desireI hold with those who favor fire.But if it had to perish twice,I think I know enough of hateTo say that for destruction iceIs also greatAnd would suffice.

  11. Lyric Poem • a short poem with one speaker (not necessarily the poet). • expresses observations, thoughts or emotions of the speaker. (NOT a story) • sometimes used only for a brief poem about feelings or observations (like the sonnet). • more often applied to a poem expressing the complex evolution of thoughts and feeling, such as the elegy, the dramatic monologue, and the ode.

  12. Sonnet • 14-line poem • Meter (beat) = Iambic Pentameter • Rhyme Scheme (varies from poet to poet) • ABAB CDCD EFEF FF = Shakespearean Sonnet • ABBA ABBA CDE CDE= Petrarchan Sonnet

  13. Narrative Poem • Narrator tells a rather long story • Subject matter ranges from romantic love to family relationships to heroic exploits. • Forms include the epic, mock-epicand ballad.
