In other words, setting situates the story or, if there is no story, the essence of the poem. For example, in Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Raven,” the lines “Deep into the darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, / Doubting” situate the poem in a deep darkness, establishing its setting. The setting, in turn, contributes to the overall mood of melancholy robert_mclendon https://padlet.com/robert_mclendon/xvye0q4b9h8q/wish/195978843 example:]]> 2017-10-11 12:21:23 UTC https://padlet.com/robert_mclendon/xvye0q4b9h8q/wish/195978843 stanza:In poetry, a stanza is a division of four or more lines having a fixed length, meter, or rhyming scheme robert_mclendon https://padlet.com/robert_mclendon/xvye0q4b9h8q/wish/195980270 example:]]> 2017-10-11 12:26:04 UTC https://padlet.com/robert_mclendon/xvye0q4b9h8q/wish/195980270 repetition :Repetition is a literary device that repeats the same words or phrases a few times to make an idea clearer.

In fact, it is the narrative voice that speaks of a writer’s feelings or situation. It is not necessary that a poet is always the speaker, because sometimes he may be writing from a different perspective, or may be in the voice of another race, gender, or even a material object.

The word “Alliteration” comes from the Latin word “Latira” which means “letters of the alphabet.” This may be because alliteration deals directly with the letters that comprise a phrase and the sounds the words make instead of the words themselves. It is characterized by a number of words, typically three or more, that have the same first consonant sound fall within the same sentence or phrase. https://padlet.com/robert_mclendon/xvye0q4b9h8q/wish/196368132 example:]]> 2017-10-12 12:06:39 UTC https://padlet.com/robert_mclendon/xvye0q4b9h8q/wish/196368132 rhyme:Rhyme scheme is the pattern of rhyme that comes at the end of each verse or line in poetry. In other words, it is the structure of end words of a verse or line that a poet needs to create when writing a poem. Many poems are written in free verse style. Some other poems follow non-rhyming structures, paying attention only to the number of syllables. The Japanese genre of Haiku is a case in point. Thus, it shows that the poets write poems in a specific type of rhyme scheme or rhyming pattern. There are several types of rhyme schemes as given below https://padlet.com/robert_mclendon/xvye0q4b9h8q/wish/196369317 example:]]> 2017-10-12 12:09:40 UTC https://padlet.com/robert_mclendon/xvye0q4b9h8q/wish/196369317 poetry:any communication resembling poetry in beauty or the evocation of feeling https://padlet.com/robert_mclendon/xvye0q4b9h8q/wish/196374573 example:]]> 2017-10-12 12:22:47 UTC https://padlet.com/robert_mclendon/xvye0q4b9h8q/wish/196374573 rhythm:The word rhythm is derived from rhythmos (Greek) which means, “measured motion.” Rhythm is a literary device that demonstrates the long and short patterns through stressed and unstressed syllables, particularly in verse form https://padlet.com/robert_mclendon/xvye0q4b9h8q/wish/196375800 example]]> 2017-10-12 12:25:44 UTC https://padlet.com/robert_mclendon/xvye0q4b9h8q/wish/196375800 meter: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. In simple language, meter is a poetic device that serves as a linguistic sound pattern for the verses, as it gives poetry a rhythmical and melodious sound. For instance, if you read a poem aloud, and it produces regular sound patterns, then this poem would be a metered or measured poem.

Such poems are without rhythms and rhyme schemes; do not follow regular rhyme scheme rules and still provide artistic expression. In this way, the poet can give his own shape to a poem how he/she desires. However, it still allows poets to use alliteration, rhyme, cadences or rhythms to get the effects that they consider are suitable for the piece robert_mclendon https://padlet.com/robert_mclendon/xvye0q4b9h8q/wish/196768089 example]]> 2017-10-13 12:10:14 UTC https://padlet.com/robert_mclendon/xvye0q4b9h8q/wish/196768089 end rhyme :if you have ever sung a song or read a poem aloud, you must have encountered end rhymes, because these are a common type of rhyming pattern used in a poetic structure. End rhyme occurs when the last syllables or words in two or more lines rhyme with each other. It is also known as “tail rhyme,” and occurs at the ends of the lines. The lines ending in similar sounds are pleasant to hear, and give musical effect to the poem or song. This is called the end rhyme robert_mclendon https://padlet.com/robert_mclendon/xvye0q4b9h8q/wish/196768634 2017-10-13 12:12:03 UTC https://padlet.com/robert_mclendon/xvye0q4b9h8q/wish/196768634 simile:A simile is a figure of speech that makes a comparison, showing similarities between two different things. Unlike a metaphor, a simile draws resemblance with the help of the words “like” or “as.” Therefore, it is a direct comparison robert_mclendon https://padlet.com/robert_mclendon/xvye0q4b9h8q/wish/196769073 example:John is as slow as a snail.”]]> 2017-10-13 12:13:40 UTC https://padlet.com/robert_mclendon/xvye0q4b9h8q/wish/196769073 metaphor:Metaphor is a figure of speech that makes an implicit, implied, or hidden comparison between two things that are unrelated, but which share some common characteristics. In other words, a resemblance of two contradictory or different objects is made based on a single or some common characteristics. robert_mclendon https://padlet.com/robert_mclendon/xvye0q4b9h8q/wish/196769796 example:]]> 2017-10-13 12:16:05 UTC https://padlet.com/robert_mclendon/xvye0q4b9h8q/wish/196769796 internal rhyme:Internal rhyme is a poetic device which can be defined as metrical lines in which its middle words and its end words rhymes with each other. It is also called middle rhyme, since it comes in the middle of lines. robert_mclendon https://padlet.com/robert_mclendon/xvye0q4b9h8q/wish/196770425 example:]]> 2017-10-13 12:17:56 UTC https://padlet.com/robert_mclendon/xvye0q4b9h8q/wish/196770425 personification:Personification is a figure of speech in which a thing – an idea or an animal – is given human attributes. The non-human objects are portrayed in such a way that we feel they have the ability to act like human beings. For example, when we say, “The sky weeps,” we are giving the sky the ability to cry, which is a human quality. Thus, we can say that the sky has been personified in the given sentence. robert_mclendon https://padlet.com/robert_mclendon/xvye0q4b9h8q/wish/196770908 example:]]> 2017-10-13 12:19:28 UTC https://padlet.com/robert_mclendon/xvye0q4b9h8q/wish/196770908
