Well, when we are told to write a poem, we usually think about the rhythm and rhyming of the words and how they will connect.  But there are more ways to compose and analyze poems to make them more meaningful and eloquent. ]]> 2018-04-10 20:01:08 UTC https://padlet.com/greenmir000/c1ozjit33tad/wish/250475648 greenmir000 https://padlet.com/greenmir000/c1ozjit33tad/wish/250476612 When writing a poem, the rhythm and the beat is what is most important, besides the content.  The rhyming is a similar sound, mostly consists of a vowel and a consonant, in two or more words.  In other words, the poem has rhyme schemes throughout the stanza(s). For example, "A, A, B, B" is a rhyme scheme. Mentioned before, the rhythm is what is so captivating in a poem.  With further detail, the rhythm  is a regular pattern of stressed, or accented, syallbles that give a poem a beat; the rhythm should also complement the poem's content.  The rhythm guides the reader into a sense of organization and excellent flow. ]]> 2018-04-10 20:04:21 UTC https://padlet.com/greenmir000/c1ozjit33tad/wish/250476612 greenmir000 https://padlet.com/greenmir000/c1ozjit33tad/wish/250478195 "The Loaves" (by Ronald Everson)

A personification is when the human characteristics are given to creatures or inanimate objects.  ]]> 2018-04-11 01:49:53 UTC https://padlet.com/greenmir000/c1ozjit33tad/wish/250537205 greenmir000 https://padlet.com/greenmir000/c1ozjit33tad/wish/250537912 Unknown (by Unknown)
Now a neon sign punctuates the dark

For example, a famous tongue twister is,"Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers." In poems, many authors will use alliteration. If several nearby words begin with the same sound, you will be able to identify that line or verse as an alliteration.]]> 2018-04-11 01:57:22 UTC https://padlet.com/greenmir000/c1ozjit33tad/wish/250538196 greenmir000 https://padlet.com/greenmir000/c1ozjit33tad/wish/250539775 Assonance may not be known that commonly as alliteration or rhythm, but it is an element of poetry.  An assonance is when several nearby words contain the same vowel sound. In a poem, there may be a consonance hanging with an assonance somewhere in that poem. A consonance is when several nearby words contain the same consonant sound; the sound is not necessarily at the beginning of each word. ]]> 2018-04-11 02:06:16 UTC https://padlet.com/greenmir000/c1ozjit33tad/wish/250539775 greenmir000 https://padlet.com/greenmir000/c1ozjit33tad/wish/250540266 Unknown (by Unkown)

When an author uses a simile, they are trying to get the reader to picture something in their minds, but to make it easier, the author compares it to something the reader is familiar with.]]> 2018-04-11 02:15:46 UTC https://padlet.com/greenmir000/c1ozjit33tad/wish/250541535 greenmir000 https://padlet.com/greenmir000/c1ozjit33tad/wish/250541564 Similar to the simile, a metaphor is the comparison of two objects by identifying one as the other but without using "like" or "as".  In the example, Cummings is comparing his beloved to the moon and to the sun. ]]> 2018-04-11 02:15:57 UTC https://padlet.com/greenmir000/c1ozjit33tad/wish/250541564 greenmir000 https://padlet.com/greenmir000/c1ozjit33tad/wish/250821171 "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" (by Robert Frost)
