Rhyme Scheme Of If By Kiping

The last few lines in the poem are sentience that have been chopped up into different lines, to help

The poem is separated into two parts, each with sixteen lines, and is loosely based on an iambic pentameter metre. The rhyme scheme is ABAB throughout the poem, with the noticeable exception of the last four lines of part II, in which it changes to

In poetry the poets use poetic devices to make the poems more interesting, this helps the reader keep interest in what they are reading. In ‘The Man from Ironbark’ the poetic devices used include; rhyme, rhythm, repetition, imagery, alliteration, and metaphors. The rhyming patter is a,a,b,b,c,c and the rhythm is shown by the rhyme and the flow or the poem. An example of alliteration is

Apart from that, the poem consists of a series of turns that reflect different parts of the speaker’s feelings and the experiences he had. The significance of these turns is made possible through the use of stanza breaks. For example, the first

The second line scans in iambic pentameter, whereas the third line does not scan. There is assonance on the long “e” sound of three, and Weïrd. There is alliteration on the “w” of well, and Weïrd. There is consonance on the “d” sound of dreamt, Weïrd, and showed, on the “r” sound of three, Weïrd, Sisters, and truth, and on the “t” sound of dreamt, last, night, Sisters, to, and truth.

However, the poem has fluidity despite its apparent scarcity of rhyme. After examining the alteration of syllables in each line, a pattern is revealed in this poem concerning darkness. The first nine lines alternate between 8 and 6 syllables. These lines are concerned, as any narrative is, with exposition. These lines set up darkness as an internal conflict to come. The conflict intensifies in lines 10 and 11 as we are bombarded by an explosion of 8 syllables in each line. These lines present the conflict within one's own mind at its most desperate. After this climax, the syllables in the last nine lines resolve the conflict presented. In these lines, Dickinson presents us with an archetypal figure that is faced with a conflict: the “bravest” hero. These lines present the resolution in lines that alternate between 6 and 7 syllables. Just as the syllables decrease, the falling action presents us with a final insight. This insight discusses how darkness is an insurmountable entity that, like the hero, we must face to continue “straight” through “Life” (line 20).

The most chaotic element of the poem not actually found in the quite disordered first stanza, but right at the beginning of the second stanza lies the revelation of the reason for the overwhelming chaos. The speaker had a dream, a desire, to leave this chaotic world. The speaker experiences being told that “it didn’t matter.” The speaker must have perceived all the past images to be chaotic because of his depressing experience. However, even if this is the climax of chaos, it is in a way a turning point toward are more ordered and peaceful world.

To begin, as the song progresses through each of the nine stanzas, it describes a year and dystopic view of innovation, time, and ultimately revelations. Man’s actions in the song have placed traditional morals, religion, the Earth, and their own survival at risk. The base line and percussion drives a dramatic tempo that alludes to the rapidly ticking of a clock. The final stanza of the song is unlike the rest. It offers

In my opinion, this means society is together as a unit;even though we still have different outlooks on certain situations since everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Each topic made in these stanzas pertaining to how we treat each

Even the last line, “Desiring naught but how to kill desire,” is contradicting as you cannot follow this author’s advice without desire, the force he is against. The Rhyme Scheme is fairly consistent abab for two thirds of the poem, but in line five the pattern is broken which signals the speaker’s refusal to be apart of this, “Thou web of will! Whose end is never wrought.” Aspire, fire, hire, desire are the far end rhymes that are used effectively to start wrapping up his whole argument against desire and finding power from

The fourth line uses two verbs, which have internal rhyme to make the line flow

and we can see that every other line rhymes. This poem is broken up into 3 stanzas, and each one tells a different part of the poem. The poem continues from the same story and has one line of thought that it follows. It also has a metrical form and a type of iambic petameter.

It is composed of 4 stanzas with each stanza consisting of 4 lines. There is a different rhyme scheme in each stanza. The rhyme scheme in the first stanza is ABBA. It is CDDC in the second stanza, EFFECT in the third stanza, and GHFF in the final stanza. As for the number of syllables there is not a set amount. For example the first line of the poem contains 13 syllables while the second line has 12 syllables. This inconsistency in syllables is found throughout the entire poem. The tone of the poem is both angry and regretful. Eberhart is commenting on the futility of war in particular World War II. Of all the lines in the poem that give us a sense of the authors regret are lines 14 and 15. Eberhart exclaims, “Names on a list, whose faces I do not recall But they are gone to early death…” (Eberhart). As for the sense of anger lines 1 and 2 do a superior job of conveying Eberhart’s sense of anger. In these lines Eberhart states, “ You would think the fury of aerial bombardment Would rouse God to relent…” (Eberhart). Furthermore, the figurative language found in the poem and the speaker play a large role in the

There is no perfection in the world, so if there is love, there is separation. Through the first three stanzas, its language, its voice, and its imagery are used in an increasing level. Besides the words

The second stanza is composed of only two lines, a couplet. However, these two lines may be the most important; even just looking at the poem from a distance makes ones eyes focus on these two lines because they are so different and central to the poem. There is no end rhyme again but the lines have masculine endings, which is in stark contrast to the feminine end rhyme used in the first stanza. Perhaps this is trying to reinforce the importance of these two lines, further differentiating them from the rest of the poem. The reader has no need to look at the painting to see a simple assertion in the image of chained monkeys; we as a species have failed the test of history. The history here is in reference to the oppressions of Stalin and how we must have failed as a species to allow his kind of hurt, pain and anguish to go on. The lines only have a dimeter, two stressed syllables in each, which further reinforces the important words,
