Effects of Poetic Devices

The poem does indeed have a rhyme scheme, yet doesn?t conform to conventional forms of rhyme such as A, B, A, B, etc. Rather, each stanza seems to follow the order of A, B, C, A, C, B, which may not be apparent to the reader at first, but doesn?t

The most obvious poetic devise of this poem is the rhyming scheme. Rhyming is when there is close similarity in the final sounds of two or more words or lines of writin.

She also presents a slight rhythm to the reading that allows for smooth reading. In keeping with her open form, there is no set scheme to the rhyme pattern. However, there is a single ending sound constantly repeated without a set pattern throughout the work. She also connects pairs of lines at random just for the sake of making connections to make that particular stanza flow. At the same time, she chose blatantly not to rhyme in certain parts to catch the reader’s attention.

The poem also uses end rhyme to add a certain rhythm to the poem as a whole. And the scheme he employs: aabbc, aabd, aabbad. End rhyme, in this poem, serves to effectively pull the reader through to the end of the poem. By pairing it with lines restricted to eight syllables. The narrator creates an almost nursery-rhyme like rhythm. In his third stanza however, his last line, cutting short of eight syllables, stands with an emphatic four syllables. Again, in the last stanza, he utilizes the same technique for the last line of the poem. The narrator’s awareness of rhyme and syllable structure provides the perfect bone structure for his poem’s rhythm.

To create a good suspenseful fiction short story, or novel, the author uses literary devices. A literary device is something that an author does to make a story better. In this case more suspenseful. One of the literary devices, Edgar Allen Poe used in, “Annabel Lee was a rhyme.” An example of rhyme was on stanza 34. The example is, “For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams,” (Edgar Allen Poe, 2017). This is an example of rhyme because it repeats the same sounds in the quote of, moon never beams, without dreams. Beams and dreams have the similar sound, meaning that the rhyme.

Many other internal rhymes are also found within the lines of the poem. In fact, the first line of the poem contains an internal rhyme “Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary”. Another example is found in Line 31 which reads “Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,” The poem is rife with such examples.

2. Hyperbole is the use of over-exaggeration to make a point. Find and write down the quote from Jilly Dos Santos that employs hyperbole. Does this line effectively communicate her feelings about the situation she faced? Why or why not?

The way that the poem rhymes affect the way it sound buy giving it a certain beat and

A rhyme scheme is the ordered pattern of rhymes at the ends of the lines of a poem or verse. “When You Are Old” W.B Yeats uses Quatrains that has an ABBA rhyme scheme. For example in “How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,And loved the sorrow of your changing face.” Grace and face rhyme and true and you rhyme so it makes it ABBA rhyme scheme. The rhyme scheme for “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night” Dylan Thomas uses five tercets and a concluding quatrain.The five tercets are written in ABA for example “Though wise men at their end know dark is right Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night.” Right and night rhyme so it makes it an ABA rhyme

The poem, “Po’ Boy Blues” uses rhyme in the fourth and sixth lines of each stanza.

Free verse is not just prose written with irregular line endings. Free verse is poetry without regular patterns of rhyme, rhythm or meter. Note: free verse has rhythm and meter. The pattern, however, is irregular. Rhythm is often created through the use of other poetic devices, including repetition, alliteration, and other sound devices. Although it is "free" of metrical restrictions, it is still patterned and unified by the conventional poetic devices of repetition, assonance, and alliteration. The article "the", ordinarily disregarded, begins seven of the eleven lines and establishes a pattern that is seen on the page and heard when the poem is given voice. Alliteration lends ear-pleasing melody in

Another example is “Today, the road all runners come” because of road and runner. Rhyme is similarity of sound between words or the endings of words when used at the end of a line of poetry. The rhyme scheme of “To an Athlete Dying Young” is ABAB. This means that the last word of every two lines rhymes. For example, “So set, before its echoes fade,/The fleet foot on the sill of shade,/And hold to the lintel up/The still-defended challenge cup.” This is an excellent demonstration of the ABAB rhyme scheme because “fade” and “shade” rhymes, as does “up” and “cup.”

· But line 3 of stanza 1 becomes the rhyme sound for the first, second

For example, end rhymes in the poem alternate lines with very few variations, implementing frequently repeated, and alarmingly simplistic rhyming words such as: "Lee," "sea," "me," and "we."

Along with the irregularities in meter, neither poem has a regular line length or rhyming pattern. Dickinson’s poem contains alternating tetrameters and trimeters, with the exception of the first line, which contains 7 syllables. The poem contains some irregular rhyme; ‘heard’ in line 5 rhymes with ‘bird’ in line 7, and ‘Sea’ in line 10 rhymes with ‘Me’ in line 12. Whitman’s poem contains even more irregular line lengths. The first 4 lines of each stanza vary from 12 to 15 syllables, but the last 4 lines of each stanza vary from 5 to 8 syllables. Unlike in Dickinson’s poem, the rhyming scheme carries throughout the whole poem, although the AABBCDED rhyme pattern contains a few cases of near rhyme.
