Introduction of Poetry

OTHER SOUND DEVICES

ASSONANCE

Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds. It is

often used in combination with consonance and
alliteration.
Foe example:
- Will she read these cheap leaflets.
- The snow in the rose garden groaned
CONSONANCE

When consonants repeat in the middle or end of words

and creates a near rhyme sound.
For example:
- Her finger hungered for a ring.
- You could paddle through the spittle in the bottle.
REPETITION

Repetition is when the writer or speaker

knowingly repeats a word or group of words for
effect.
Repeating essential articles, prepositions,
pronouns, or conjunctions that are frequently used
unintentionally is not considered as repetition.
Nobody, oh nobody can make it out here alone.
Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty,
we are free at last!
Love is a red, red rose.
(Another) Element of Poetry:
IMAGERY
Words and phrases used specifically to help the
reader to imagine each of the senses: smell, touch,
sight, hearing, and taste.

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
by William Wordsworth
