Visually descriptive .

On a starry winter night in Portugal ,Where the ocean kissed the southern shore,There a dream I never thought would come to pass,Came and went like time spent through an hourglass

-Teena Marie, “Portuguese Love”

Mood

lorraine_young — 2017-10-10 12:20:23 UTC

Helps establish an atmosphere of the poetry being read.

“There was no moon, and everything beneath lay in misty darkness: not a light gleamed from any house, far or near all had been extinguished long ago: and those at Wuthering Heights were never visible…”

-Emily Bronte

The mood there trying to set was depressing

Stanza

lorraine_young — 2017-10-11 12:08:59 UTC

Which is like a paragraph in a poem.

“My mother’s maids, when they did sew and spin,
They sang sometimes a song of the field mouse,
That for because their livelihood was but so thin.
<........the stanza........>

Would needs go seek her townish sister’s house.
Would needs She thought herself endured to much pain:
The stormy blasts her cave so sore did souse…”

-By Thomas Wyat

Epetition

lorraine_young — 2017-10-11 12:13:01 UTC

Were they would repeat a word a couple of times to make it more clearer.

“Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light…

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”

-By Dylan Thomas

Speaker

lorraine_young — 2017-10-11 12:19:18 UTC

In writing, the speaker is the voice that speaks behind the scene.

It’s about Ball fits

the ball, mitt, but

the bat, not all

and the mitt. the time.

Ball hits ...BY MAY SWENSON

Figure of speech

lorraine_young — 2017-10-11 12:21:40 UTC

A figure of speech is a word or phrase that has a meaning other than the literal meaning. It can be a metaphor or simile that's designed to further explain a concept.

"Hadn’t she felt it in every touch of the sunshine, as its golden finger-tips pressed her lids open and wound their way through her hair?"

- by Edith Wharton

Onomatopoeia

lorraine_young — 2017-10-11 12:25:27 UTC

The formation of a word, as cuckoo, meow, honk, or boom, by imitation of a sound made by or associated with its referent.

Camping

Crack! Crack!
The fire crackles under the stars.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
The water sizzles above the fire.
Crunch! Crunch!
The campers crunching on potato chips.
Click! Clack! Click! Clack!
The tent poles clicking and clacking together.
Rustle! Rustle!
As we prepare our sleeping bags to go to sleep.
Chirp! Chirp!
The crickets say, “good-night”.

Alliteration

lorraine_young — 2017-10-11 22:58:38 UTC

Aliterary device that repeats a speech sound in a sequence of words that are close to each other.

Betty Botter by Mother Goose

Betty Botter bought some butter, but, she said, the butter’s bitter; if I put it in my batter it will make my batter bitter, but a bit of better butter will make my batter better.

So she bought a bit of butter better than her bitter butter, and she put it in her batter and the batter was not bitter. So ’twas better Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter.

Rhyme

lorraine_young — 2017-10-11 23:20:46 UTC

Is a popular literary device in which the repetition of the same or similar sounds occurs in two or more words, usually at the end of lines in poems or songs.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King’s horses, And all the King’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty together again!

Poetry

lorraine_young — 2017-10-11 23:26:11 UTC

Literary work in which special intensity is given to the expression of feelings and ideas by the use of distinctive style and rhythm; poems collectively or as a genre of literature.

It was the night of
The first seventh grade
Band concert
I had to play the timpani
For the last song.
I was terrified that
I would mess up
Everybody would hear
Nobody would forget
I looked at the first person
Who came into my mind.
I didn’t know why.
I thought he was irritating
And I’d never thought about him
Before that night.
I guess he had a case of the nerves like me,
Because of the fact that
He
Looked
Back at me.

Rhythm

lorraine_young — 2017-10-11 23:36:36 UTC

There are five main types of beats, or meter, that we use in poetry

My cat is nice.
My cat is fat.
My cat is cute.
I like my cat.

Meter

lorraine_young — 2017-10-11 23:39:49 UTC

Meter is a stressed and unstressed syllabic pattern in a verse, or within the lines of a poem.

He has devoured an infant child.

The infant child is not aware

It has been eaten by the bear. - A. E. Housman’s “Infant Innocence”

Free verse

lorraine_young — 2017-10-11 23:41:51 UTC

Free from limitations of regular meter or rhythm and does not rhyme with fixed forms.

A noiseless patient spider,
I mark’d where on a little promontory it stood isolated,
Mark’d how to explore the vacant vast surrounding,
It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,
Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.

And you O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,…….
Till the bridge you will need be form’d, till the ductile anchor hold,
Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O my soul.

End rhyme

lorraine_young — 2017-10-11 23:45:58 UTC

End rhyme is defined as when a poem has lines ending with words that sound the same.

“Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary.”

Simile

lorraine_young — 2017-10-11 23:47:36 UTC

Poems include any poem that makes comparisons using the words "like" or "as."

The audience listened to his spellbinding speech as quietly as mice.

Metaphor

lorraine_young — 2017-10-11 23:51:22 UTC

Comparison between two things that replaces the word or name for one object with that of another.

I am one of many
Small branches of a broken tree,
Always looking to the ones above
For guidance, strength and security.

internal rhyme

lorraine_young — 2017-10-11 23:54:43 UTC

In poetry, internal rhyme, or middle rhyme, is rhyme that occurs within a single line of verse, or between internalphrases across multiple lines. By contrast, rhyme between line endings is known as end rhyme.

I am the daughter of Earth and Water,
And the nursling of the Sky;
I pass through the pores of the ocean and shores;
I change, but I cannot die.

Personification

lorraine_young — 2017-10-11 23:58:09 UTC

Personification is a form of figurative language in which something that is not human is given human characteristics.

O, Death! a black and pierceless pall

Hangs round thee, and the future state;

No eye may see, no mind may grasp

That mystery of fate.
