  1. Mini Poetry Unit focusing on rhyme, haikus, tankas, and sonnets

  2. Common Figurative Language Used • Simile- a comparison using “like” or “as” • Metaphor- comparison between two subjects that may not be logically literally comparable • Rhythm- a pattern of syllables throughout a poem—usually they are stressed and unstressed syllables to create a pattern • Rhyme- words that sound the same—there are four types of rhyme.

  3. Types of Rhyme • Exact Rhyme- identical sounds in final syllables or paired groups of final syllables. Normally it is the last stressed vowel that makes the rhyme. Examples are breathe/seethe, great/late, and skylight/highlight • Approximate Rhyme-. Two words that look like they should rhyme but don’t. Examples are capitol/symbol, or Mary/caring

  4. Types of Rhyme • Internal Rhyme- happens when two words rhyme inside of the same line. Example: Cat in the Hat or Jack and Jill went up the hill. • End Rhyme- occurs at the end of two or more lines of poetry Example: “He should not be here, said the fish in the pot. He should not be here when your mother is not.”

  5. Haiku • A Japanese three line poem written to capture a feeling or image. This was often written by a male to court a female for love. • These poems have three lines and have a total of 17 syllables • Follow syllables in a line pattern of 5/7/5 • Example: The falling flower (5) I saw drift back to the branch(7) Was a butterfly (5)

  6. Tanka • A Japanese five line poem written to capture a feeling or image. This was often written by a female in response to the haiku to express her feelings. • These poems have five lines and have a total of 31 syllables • Follow a syllable line pattern of 5/7/5/7/7 • Example: The weirdly colored (5) Silent, dark, oppressive sky (7) Threatening to storm (5) Softly groans, grumbles, then cracks (7) And then gives its flashing grin. (7)

  7. Shakespearean Sonnet • As you all know, Shakespeare wrote in iambic pentameter when he wrote his plays. He also used iambic pentameter when he wrote his sonnets as well. • Just as a reminder, iambic pentameter is a rhythmic pattern that consists of five iambs per line. It kind of sounds like five heart beats—ba-DUM, ba-DUM, ba-DUM, ba-DUM, ba-DUM. Hamlet: THAT this TOO too SOLid FLESH would MELT thaw AND reSOLVEitSELFinTO a DEW. • Iambic- poetry that has a pattern of accented & unaccented syllables • Pentameter- a line of poetry having 5 “feet” meaning 10 syllables per line

  8. Shakespearean Sonnet • Not only did he write in iambic pentameter, he also used a specific rhyme scheme where the end rhyme sounded the same in the following pattern: ABAB CDCD EFEF GG

  9. Sample Shakespearean Sonnet: Sonnet #30 When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought, And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste: Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow, For precious friends hid in death's dateless night, And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe, And moan the expense of many a vanish'd sight: Then can I grieve at grievances foregone, And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er The sad account of fore-bemoanèd moan, Which I new pay as if not paid before. But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, All losses are restored and sorrows end. – A: though B: past A: sought B: waste C: flow D: night C: woe D: sight E: foregone F: o’re E: moan F: before G: friend G: end
