The friendliness of the blacksmith Analyzing the Elements of Poetry Poems are pieces of writing in which words are arranged in separate lines that often have @ repeated rhythm and sometimes rhyme. They convey emotions, ideas, and experiences in a vivid and creative way. Poets use sound devices, imagery, and figurative language. 1. Rhyme. This refers to the repetition of ending sounds between words. They can affect the way you feel about the topic, tone, and meaning of the poem. a. End rhymes “Oh the boyhood’s painless play, Sleep that wakes in laughing day.” b. Internal rhymes Example: “Trace her face, Grace” Rhythm. It refers to the flow of words within each line and stanza. It is the “music” that the poem creates. ‘Sound devices. These are devices that emphasize the sounds in literary pieces of writing, The most commonly used sound devices are the following: Alliteration. This is the repetition or quick succession of the same initial Consonant or vowel sounds in words, creating an element of “fun” to the piece of writing, Examples: “Thheard it from the traders tying bales.” from “Cry Freedom” by Aurelio S. Alvero. “Once upon a midnight dreary, While I pondered, weak and weary,” from “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe a _Assonance. This is the repetition of a vowel sound in words within a Senteng, _ or phrase. Examples: “Let the love of country blossom. In your hearts, yes, in your bosom, Let the flames that we have nurtured ‘Warm the broken, daunted souls.” {rom *Love of Country" by Andres Bonifacio Stand on the span of a black bamboo bridge Consonance. This is the repetition of consonant sounds at the end ot in the middle of words. Examples: “He clasps the crag with crooked hands Close to the sun in lonely hands Ringed with azure world he stands.” {rom “The Eagle” by Alfred Lord Tennyson Imagery. This refers to the author’s use of descriptive and figurative language to create “mental images” that readers and listeners experience. These “pictures” appeal to the senses—touch, smell, taste, hearing, and sight. Images make you experience things vividly. a. Sight “Where the whitest lilies blow, Where the freshest berries grow Where the ground-nut trails its vine.” b. Hearing “In the fields children were screaming, As cows and carabaos went mooing.” c. Smell 5. Figurative language. This refers to the use of words or expressions which meanings are different from their literal interpretations. The following are some figures of speech: 1. Simite. It is the clear and direct comparison between two things that are basically not alike. It uses “like” or “as.” I wandered lonely as a cloud that floats on high o'er vales and hills.” from “Daffodils” by Wiliam Wordsworth Metaphor. It is a comparison of two different things without the use of “like” nor "as." Her lovely voice was music to my ears Her fragrant pink hanky was a carpet to my tears.” 3.__Personification. An inanimate object is treated as though it were a person “For eschewing books and tasks, Nature answers all he asks.” from “The Barefoot Boy” Guided Practice Read each passage. Determine the sound device used. Write on your paper AS for assonance, AL for alliteration, CO for consonance, and ON for onomatopoeia. “Arise and scour the land! Shed once again your willing blood. “Yes, the molave builds seven thousands bridges in blood!” from “Like the Molave” by Rafael Zulueta da Costs “Why does the sea sob so, Mother, As it breaks on the rocky shore?” from “The Sea” by Natividad Marquez “Each building will be a hill, All sharps made soun\ from “By Morning,” Anonymous “That squeaking door will always squeak, For, prithee, don’t you see?” from “Mr. Nobody,” Anonymous “ try present ines from the po poe! nt in the following lines pe per. ry a ST ae els = paper, an. a stemonts) of crne Vitae blackeeth” O9 YOU ve onguede , or B tor urate sprosang strut te vethy stands: Tr wo sox out, for rom ' ‘ his bellows blow; 3. inging the village bell, Like @ sexton ri ; 44. theounds to him lke her mother's Voice, ‘ is hard, rough hand he wipes 5.

This is a figure of speech in which there is a direct comparison between two things that are unlike or different. The comparison is made clear by expressions such as like, as, than, and similar to. The notes were as noisy as the hungry birds in a cage. + They quarreled like little children. ‘What two things in each sentence are directly compared? In what ways are they unlike or different? 2.
