Tetrameter

Marvell cleverly throws the reader off to the uneven distribution of syllables in order and their attention is given to the substance of those lines. For instance, there are pauses within the first two lines that separates, and thereby throws off, the tetrameter. The third line (twelve syllables) contains no pauses and continues into the fourth line (eight syllables), reason being that this rhythm contrasts the rhythm of the couplet, where the two lines possess ten syllables

difference in their tone. The incorporation of iambic tetrameter in both poems proves vital to the reader as it allows them to follow a set rhythm and understand the emphasis made on the last syllables and pay attention to the mood. With the use of alliteration, the reader becomes aware of particular mood changes drawing differences between the shepherd's view on love.

In many occasions, people may find poems without rhyme schemes uninteresting, bland, or maybe not even poems at all. Though rhyme is not necessarily needed to make a poem good, it is a technique used by poets to create emphasis on certain aspects of specific themes they are trying to express. Rhyme schemes may contribute to the mood or tone of a piece, or even be used to create a certain rhythm or flow. Poems like “Sound and Sense” by Alexander Pope, “That Time of Year” by the famous William Shakespeare

“Jabberwocky” by Lewis Carroll, is written in an iambic tetrameter. The four line stanzas have a regular unstressed and stressed pattern. For example, the first two lines with marked accents are as follows (with the bold and italicized print meaning stressed): “Twas brill|ig, and| the sli|thy toves”, and “Did gyre| and gim-|ble in| the wabe”. There are four unstressed syllables followed by four stressed syllables in each line. As page 170 from “An Introduction to Poetry” by X.J. Kennedy and Dana

much so that it is extremely difficult to place her in any single tradition she seems to come from everywhere and nowhere at once. Her poetic form, with her customary four-line stanzas, ABCB rhyme schemes, and alternations in iambic meter between tetrameter and trimeter, is derived from Psalms and Protestant hymns, but Dickinson so thoroughly appropriates the forms interposing her own long, rhythmic dashes designed to interrupt the meter and indicate short pauses that the resemblance seems quite faint

intentions not limited to another's style. This allows for amazing line placement throughout the poem, and the only form she follows throughout the poem is iambic tetrameter. There is no rhyme scheme allowing Mew to have freedom like the girl so much desires. In “The Farmer’s Bride”, Charlotte Mew uses irregular rhyme and form with iambic tetrameter, as well as thorough imagery and comparison to show the broken marriage in this poem.

In France, Charles Baudelaire and Victor Hugo defined new grounds to the Romantic movement with his poems. Often compared with Wordsworth, Baudelaire 's French poems surfaced an ease of poetic elaboration. His poems including the L 'Ame du Vin and Mort des Artistes are popular for the thematic basis of defining the pursuits of life and art. The English romantic poetry is dense and divided into two eras; William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Blake wrote in the first half of the romantic

There are four ways in which rhythm has been effectively utilized though the poem does not follow a traditional pattern. First, the meter or pattern of stressed, i.e. long and unstressed, i.e. short syllable changes throughout the poem. Iambic tetrameter has been used in the first stanza, in lines 1 to 4, for e.g.

devices in her poetry to make her poems very affective. She would "[Opts] generally for trimeter, tetrameter..." (Ekrum) and "The extensive use of dashes and unconventional capitalization in Dickinson's manuscripts, and the idiosyncratic vocabulary and imagery" (Ekrum). Emily Dickinson had various styles in her poetry based on the time periods mainly Generally she wrote in iambic trimeter and tetrameter and avoiding iambic pentameter. She also used effective "idiosyncratic vocabulary and imagery" (Ekrum)

Emily Dickinson effectively captures human suffering in its rawest form. In comparison to her other works, Dickinson’s “After Great Pain, a Formal Feeling Comes” may be her most discomforting work. The piece is dismaying in that it forces the reader to unwrap our darkest emotions: sadness, anguish, and anxiety. While other poets speak of the joys of love or the finality of death, Dickinson unravels the emotional wounds inflicted upon humanity by grief, heartache, and loss. In the piece, Dickinson
