1 Name Poetry Graphic Elements Refer to the poem s APPEARANCE on the page. As the cat climbed over the top of the jamcloset first the right forefoot carefully then the hind stepped down into the pit of the empty flowerpot o LINE LENGTH o PUNCTUATION o WORD POSITION Sets the meter Observations Are there words placed at the end of lines to create a rhyme? Line length- all short, look about equal Punctuation- none Word position- none are used for a rhyme; 3 1-word lines Effect/Meaning It reflects the short strides of the cat. No stops or pauses to indicate the cat's quick and continuous movement. A rhyme scheme would make you pause. The rhythm is created with mostly 3 syllable words. As the cat climbed over the top of the jamcloset, first the right forefoot carefully then the hind stepped down into the pit of the empty flowerpot. Prosody Refers to a poem s STRUCTURE AND RHYTHM. o STANZA- a group of lines forming a unit Created by meter and rhyme Structure o METER- a regular rhythm created by the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in a line of poetry. A pair of an unstressed (SPOKEN SOFTLY) and stressed (SPOKEN LOUDLY) syllable is called a foot.
2 o IAMBIC PENTAMETER- the most common meter in poetry; 5 feet per line or 10 syllables. A line of iambic pentameter begins with an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. It resembles a HEARTBEAT. o RHYME SCHEME- repetition of sounds at the end of words that form a pattern. A different letter of the alphabet signals each new rhyme. Tone- sad Proof- burdens, tears, pain I see the wrinkles in your suntanned brow, You carried burdens then; you see them now. You ve heard the cries your people who in pain, Have shed their tears two hundred years like rain. Poetic Devices Repetition - repeated use of words or phrases to emphasize meaning. Tone- cautious Proof- repetition of Don't Don't let him sway you with his sultry rhymes Don't let him woo and steal your heart away Don't let him touch your soul with soulful lines You know, my dear, he only wants to play Whatistheeffectoftherepetition? It emphasizes the importance protecting your heart 2"types"of"poetic"devices"that"create"sound:" Alliteration 1. 3repetitionofconsonantsoundsinconsecutive orneighboringwords.
