  1. Techniques Used In Poetry Ben Mel and Danni.

  2. Juxtaposition  • Juxtaposition refers to the use of dissimilar terms, concepts, or images in order to contrast their varying (or opposite) attributes. This may be used for ironic effect, to create surprise or humor, or to stimulate the imagination. • Eg. A billboard for a church right next to one advertising nudety.

  3. Alliteration  • Alliteration is the repeating of letters in a sentence. eg. “Sally’s small sausage sat sizzling.” • the repetition of consonant sounds is pleasing to the ear, much as rhyme is. The same goes for assonance.

  4. Rhythm and rhyme • rhythm allows another person to "tune in" to listening to you. When lovers talk to each other, they will synchronize their postures and gestures, mirroring the other. A predictable rhythm encourages that level of communication. • The wind in her hair over there The chair that sat with her hair Eyes on eyes Fire and lye in the river sky on I • Wiki answers

  5. simile • Saying something is like or as something. • Eg. He was fierce like a lion • A simile is a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another of a different kind,as an illustration or ornament (e.g.as brave as a lion or as strong as an ox),the effect that a simile has in a poem is that it paints a picture in our minds as a simile is a descriptive set of words.Wiki answers

  6. Metaphor • Saying something is something that it clearly isn’t to provide effect. • A metaphor compares one thing to something else; it DOES NOT use the words, like or as. • Example: Her hair is silk.Read more: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_effect_of_a_metaphor#ixzz22ABw2GOZ

  7. personification • Giving something that is not human, human traits. • Eg. The tree is swinging its arms • personification is when an inanimate object or something inhuman have human characteristics.... so it creates an imaginative and philosophical effect on poetry making it seem more interesting, dramatic, and create a certain mood or tone. • Wiki answers

  8. onomatopoeia • The use of words (such as hiss or murmur) that imitate the sounds associated with the objects or actions they refer to. Adjective: onomatopoeic or onomatopoetic. • http://grammar.about.com/od/mo/g/onomaterms.htm

  9. oxymoron • A figure of speech in which incongruous or contradictory terms appear side by side; a compressed paradox. Plural: oxymora or oxymorons. Adjective: oxymoronic or oxymoric. • http://grammar.about.com/od/mo/g/oxymoronterm.htm • Eg an open secret, a rolling stop, deafening silence

  10. hyperbole • An over exageration • A figure of speech in which exaggeration is used for emphasis or effect, as in I could sleep for a year or This book weighs a ton. • http://www.thefreedictionary.com/hyperbole
