1 2. Poetry Terminology
2 For understanding poetry, the terms you have already learned are necessary as well as others that are specific to the form of poems.
3 2.1 Meter 2.2 Rhyme 2.3 Stanza 2.4 Epic 2.5 Haiku 2.6 Sonnet
4 2.7 Terza Rima 2.8 Villanelle 2.9 Rhyme Royal 2.10 Sestina 2.11 Blank Verse 2.12 Free Verse 2.13 Additional Poetic Terms
5 2.1 Meter
6 Meter is a poetic device that serves as a linguistic sound pattern for the verses, as it gives poetry a rhythmical and melodious sound.
7 Meter is a stressed and unstressed syllabic pattern in a verse or within the lines of a poem. Stressed syllables tend to be longer and unstressed shorter.
8
9 A foot is a combination of two or more syllables which form a unit of rhythm. The number of feet per line is how we analyze meter.
10 Example: Homer s Iliad was written in hexameter, 6 feet per line; William Shakespeare popularized iambic pentameter, five feet per line consisting of unstressed syllable followed by stressed syllable.
11 2.2 Rhyme
12 Rhyme is the use of similar ending syllables in lines of poetry. It should sound natural and add to or create the rhythm of the poem.
13 Rhyme is identified by assigning the same letter to lines of poetry that rhyme with each other.
14
15 Example: In Robert Frost s Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening, Whose woods these are I think I know. a His house is in the village though; a He will not see me stopping here b To watch his woods fill up with snow. a
16 My little horse must think it queer b To stop without a farmhouse near b Between the woods and frozen lake c The darkest evening of the year. b He gives his harness bells a shake c To ask if there is some mistake. c The only other sound s the sweep d Of easy wind and downy flake. c
17 The woods are lovely, dark and deep, d But I have promises to keep, d And miles to go before I sleep, d And miles to go before I sleep. d
18 2.3 Stanza
19 Stanza is the arrangement of a poem s lines. They are similar to paragraphs for a novel.
20 Stanza must contain at least two lines usually are consistent with meter and rhyme, though not always the case.
21 Couplet - 2 line stanza; Tercet- 3 line stanza; Quatrain- 4 line stanza; Quintain- 5 line stanza; Sestet- 6 line stanza; Septet - 7 line stanza; Octave- 8 line stanza
22
23 Example: The Robert Frost poem from the previous module is written in quatrains.
24 2.4 Epic
25 Epic is a type of poem. There are very long and written in a formal style. It is typically written about the deeds of warriors and heroes.
26 Epics are narratives, meaning they tell a story Example: Homer s The Illiad and The Odyssey
27
28 2.5 Haiku
29 Haiku is a popular form of Japanese poetry. They are meant to express a simple idea, image, or feeling. Haikus have a very specific form: 3 lines long with a syllabic pattern of 5/7/5 for the corresponding three lines.
30 Example: James Kirkup s Evening In the amber dusk Each island dreams its own night The sea swarms with gold.
31
32 In a Station of the Metro The apparition of these faces in the crowd: Petals, on a wet, black bough. by Ezra Pound
33 2.6 Sonnet
34 Sonnet is a standard poetic form. There are two main forms of the sonnet.
35 The Italian sonnet was popularized in 14th century. It consists of one octave followed by a sestet. They also contain specific rhyme and meter.
36 English sonnets are also called Shakespearean sonnets because he wrote so many. They also follow a rigid rhyme and meter pattern. However, the English sonnet consists of 3 quatrains and a couplet. Most are written in iambic pentameter.
37
38 Example: from Visions by Francesco Petrarch Being one day at my window all alone, So manie strange things happened me to see, As much as it grieveth me to thinke thereon. At my right hand a hynde appear d to mee, So faire as mote the greatest god delite; Two eager dogs did her pursue in chace. Of which the one was blacke, the other white: With deadly force so in their cruell race
39 They pincht the haunches of that gentle beast, That at the last, and in short time, I spide, Under a rocke, where she alas, opprest, Fell to the ground, and there untimely dide. Cruell death vanquishing so noble beautie Oft makes me wayle so hard a desire.
40 2.7 Terza Rima
41 Terza Rima is another standard form of poetry. Its form consists of tercets linked together with chain rhyme. Chain rhyme is when rhyme is carried over from one stanza to next.
42 There is no limit to number of stanzas though rhyme pattern must be aba, bcb, cdc, ded, etc.
43
44 Example: Robert Frost s Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening and Dante s Divine Comedy, below. As I drew nearer to the end of all desire, (a) I brought my longing s ardor to a final height, (b) Just as I ought. My vision, becoming pure, (a)
45 Entered more and more the beam of that high light (b) That shines on its own truth. From then, my seeing (c) Became too large for speech, which fails at a sight (b)
46 2.8 Villanelle
47 A villanelle s form is 19 lines long, 5 tercets and 1 quatrain. The rhyme scheme of tercets is aba. The rhyme scheme of quatrain is aaba.
48 Villanelles also repeat entire lines. The first line of the first tercet becomes the third line of the second, fourth, and sixth stanzas.
49
50 Example: Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night by Dylan Thomas and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce, below Are you not weary of ardent ways, (A1) Lure of the fallen seraphim? (b) Tell no more of enchanted days. (A2) Your eyes have set man s heart ablaze (a) And you have had your will of him. (b) Are you not weary of ardent ways? (A1)
51 Above the flame the smoke of praise (a) Goes up from ocean rim to rim. (b) Tell no more of enchanted days. (A2) Our broken cries and mournful lays (a) Rise in one eucharistic hymn. (b) Are you not weary of ardent ways? (A1) While sacrificing hands upraise (a) The chalice flowing to the brim, (b) Tell no more of enchanted days. (A2)
52 And still you hold our longing gaze (a) With languorous look and lavish limb! (b) Are you not weary of ardent ways? (A1) Tell no more of enchanted days. (A2)
53 2.9 Rhyme Royal
54 Rhyme Royal or Rime Royal was created by Geoffrey Chaucer in 14th century. Form includes 7 lines, either 1 quatrain + 1 tercet OR 2 tercets +1 couplet. Rhyme scheme follows a/ b/a/b/b/c/c
55 Example: Geoffrey Chaucer Canterbury Tales
56 2.10 Sestina
57 A sestina is a poem of 39 lines divided into 6 sestets and 1 tercet. They are usually written in iambic pentameter.
58 The sestina also reuses the same 6 words at the ends of the lines of every stanza, also in a specific pattern.
59 1. ABCDEF 2. FAEBDC 3. CFDABE 4. ECBFAD 5. DEACFB 6. BDFECA 7. (envoi)eca or ACE
60 Example: Sestina by Elizabeth Bishop September rain falls on the house. In the failing light, the old grandmother sits in the kitchen with the child beside the Little Marvel Stove, reading the jokes from the almanac, laughing and talking to hide her tears.
61 She thinks that her equinoctial tears and the rain that beats on the roof of the house were both foretold by the almanac, but only known to a grandmother. The iron kettle sings on the stove. She cuts some bread and says to the child,
62 It's time for tea now; but the child is watching the teakettle's small hard tears dance like mad on the hot black stove, the way the rain must dance on the house. Tidying up, the old grandmother hangs up the clever almanac
63 on its string. Birdlike, the almanac hovers half open above the child, hovers above the old grandmother and her teacup full of dark brown tears. She shivers and says she thinks the house feels chilly, and puts more wood in the stove.
64 It was to be, says the Marvel Stove. I know what I know, says the almanac. With crayons the child draws a rigid house and a winding pathway. Then the child puts in a man with buttons like tears and shows it proudly to the grandmother.
65 But secretly, while the grandmother busies herself about the stove, the little moons fall down like tears from between the pages of the almanac into the flower bed the child has carefully placed in the front of the house.
66 Time to plant tears, says the almanac. The grandmother sings to the marvelous stove and the child draws another inscrutable house.
67 2.11 Blank Verse
68 Blank verse has a set meter, usually iambic pentameter, but does not rhyme. Other than that, it does not have much restriction.
69 Types of Blank Verse Poetry Iamb pentameter blank verse (unstressed/ stressed syllables) Trochee blank verse (stressed/unstressed syllables)
70 Types of Blank Verse Poetry Anapest blank verse (unstressed/unstressed/ stressed syllables) Dactyl blank verse (stressed/unstressed/ unstressed syllables)
71 Example: Christopher Marlowe s Dr. Faustus, John Milton s Paradise Lost, and Shakespeare s Hamlet, below: But, woe is me, you are so sick of late, So far from cheer and from your former state, That I distrust you. Yet, though I distrust, Discomfort you, my lord, it nothing must..
