Poets use language to convey information. They choose words for sound as well as for meaning and use the sound in order to reinforce meaning. Edgar Allen Poe describes poetry as "music... combined with a pleasurable idea."

Musical quality of poetry achieved:
-choice and arrangement of sounds
-arrangement of accents

Essential Musical elements
-Repetition: a composer of music repeats certain musical tones in certain combinations, or chords, with certain patterns and melodies. In a similar way, a poet repeats certain sounds in specific combinations and arrangements which adds musical meaning to verse.
-Alliteration: repetition of initial consonant sounds such as,
"Safe and Sound"
-Consonance: repetition of final consonant sounds such as, "first and last"
-Assonance: repetition of vowel sounds such as, "time out of mind"
-Rhyme: repetition of the accented vowel sound and an succeeding consonant sounds
TYPES OF RHYME:
-Masculine: rhyme sounds involve only one syllable, as in bells and foretells
-Feminine: rhyme sounds involve two or more syllables, as in spitefully and delightfully
-Internal: one or more rhyming words are within the line
-End: rhyming words are at the ends of lines
-Approximate (Slant): include words with any kind of sound similarity from close to fairly remote
-Half: feminine rhymes in which only half of the word rhymes, as in lightly and frightful

Paradox
An apparent contradiction that is somehow actually true
The value of paradox is its shocking effect; it seems impossible and startles the reader, making them pay attention to the absurdity of the situation and emphasizing the truth
Overstatement
Hyperbole
Exaggeration in the service of truth; emphasizes the true situation or the point that the speaker is trying to get across
Understatement
Saying less than one means
Emphasizes the truth by catching the reader's attention and causing them to realize how absurd the understatement actually is
Example: Artemus Ward states that a man who sticks his hand in a fire for half an hour will experience "a sensation of excessive and disagreeable warmth."
Irony
Verbal Irony- saying the opposite of what one means; however, a lot of the time it means both what was said and the opposite of what was said, just in different ways/with different levels of emphasis; includes sarcasm
Dramatic Irony- discrepancy between what the speaker says and what the poem means; speaker's actual words may be straightforward, but the author is actually indicating opposing ideas/attitudes; usually done by putting these word's in a particular speaker's mouth; author is indirectly commenting on the ideas and the nature of the character who has them
Situational Irony- discrepancy what should happen or what one anticipates and what actually happens]]> 2019-03-27 13:55:57 UTC https://padlet.com/gwikla0240/n3qsbtm1uum0/wish/345701406 Chapter 13 Sound and Meaning ifaulc5337 https://padlet.com/gwikla0240/n3qsbtm1uum0/wish/345702562 Sound and Meaning
Rhythm and sound work together to produce what is called the "music of poetry". The music of poetry serves two main functions:
1) To make the poem more enjoyable to read and listen to.
2) Reinforces meaning and intensifies the communication of the words of the poem.

An Example of the "Music of Poetry" is...
Pease porridge hot,
        Pease porridge cold,
Pease porridge in the pot
        Nine days old.

-This verse relies entirely on the "music" of poetry. It has no real meaning, but it is really fun to read and even more fun to say out loud.
- Many people enjoy these fun and senseless poems simply because they are fun to read. Although this particular poem has no meaning, almost all poets rely on combining rhythm and sound to make the poems interesting, but more importantly to enhance the meaning.

Poets reinforce meaning through sound
1) Choose words that sound like their meanings. 
2) Choose sounds and group them.
3) Control the speed and grouping of the lines,
4) Control both the sound and the meter.

The musical quality of such oral performances served two purposes: it helped to remember the lines and it entertained audiences with patterned sounds of language, which were sometimes accompanied by musical instruments.

[Verse 1]
When it rains, it pours
But you didn't even notice
It ain't rainin' anymore
It's hard to breathe when all you know is
The struggle of stayin' above the risin' water line

[Chorus]
Well the sky has finally opened
The rain and wind stopped blowin'
But you're stuck out in the same ol' storm again
You hold tight to your umbrella
Well, darlin', I'm just tryin' to tell ya
That there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head

[Verse 2]
If you could see what I see
You'd be blinded by the colors
Yellow, red, and orange, and green
And at least a million others
So tie up the bow, take off your coat, and take a look around

[Chorus]
'Cause the sky has finally opened
The rain and wind stopped blowin'
But you're stuck out in the same ol' storm again
You hold tight to your umbrella
Well, darlin', I'm just tryin' to tell ya
That there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head

[Bridge]
Oh, tie up the bow, take off your coat, and take a look around
Everything is alright now

[Chorus]
'Cause the sky has finally opened
The rain and wind stopped blowin'
But you're stuck out in the same ol' storm again
Let go of your umbrella
'Cause, darlin', I'm just tryin' to tell ya
That there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head
Yeah, there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head

[Outro]
It'll all be alright
