THE INTRINSIC OF POETRY

syllables, typically at the end of
a line, we organize those end
rhymes into patterns or
schemes, called rhyme schemes.
Explore Imagery and Rhyme
Kind of Imagery: Here are some common examples of rhyme forms:

- Perfect Rhyme: this rhyme form features two words that

- Visual imagery. share the exact assonance and number of syllables, and is
Ex: blue sky, sunset also known as a true rhyme. (skylight and twilight).

The Difference Between a Masculine and a
Feminine Rhyme

A masculine rhyme occurs when a single syllable at the

end of the word, which is stressed rhymes.

A feminine rhyme matches two or more syllables, with the

last syllables being unstressed.

RHYTHM
The word rhythm is derived from
rhythmos (Greek) which means,
“measured motion”. Rhythm is
a literary device that
demonstrates the long and short
pattern thourgh stressed and
unstressed syllables, particularly
in verse form.
METER
The meter is the pattern of beats in a
line of poetry. It is a
combination of the number of
beats and arrangement of
stresses. Meter functions as a
means of imposing a specific
number of syllables and
emphasis when it comes to a
line of poetry that adds to its
musicality.
Explore Rhythm and Meter
English poetry makes yse of five important rhythms. These rhythms are of
different patterns of stressed (/) and unstressed (x) syllables. Each Types of Meter:
unit of these type is called foot. Here are the five types of rhythm:

- Lamb (x /)
This is the most commonly used rhythm. It consists of two syllables, the first of which is not stressed
- Trochee: stressed syllable followed by
while the second syllable is stressed. Such as:
unstressed syllable, as in “custom”
“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” (sonnet 18, by William Shakespeare)
- Trochee (/ x) - Lamb: unstressed syllable followed by
A trochee is a type of poetic foot commonly used in English poetry. It has two syllables, the first of
which is strongly stressed, while the second syllable is unstressed, as given below: stressed syllable, as in “describe”
“Tell me not, in mournful numbers” (Psalm of life, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
- Spondee: equal stress for both
syllables, as in “cupcake”
- Spondee (/ /)
Spondee is a poectic foot that has two syllables, which are consecutively stressed.

For example: “White founts falling in the courts of the sun” (Lepanto, by G.K. Chesterton) - Dactyl: stressed syllable, followed by
- Dactyl (/ x x)
Dactyl is made up of three syllables. The first syllable is stressed, and the remaining two syllables are two unstressed syllables, as in
not stressed, such as in the word “marvelous.”
“bicycle”
For example: “This is the forest primeval. The murmuring pines and the hemlocks.” (Evangeline, by
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow) - Anapest: two unstressed syllables,
- Anapest (x x /)
Anapest are total opposites of dactyls. They hace three syllables; where the first two syllables are not
followed by a stressed syllable, as in
stressed, and the last syllables is stressed.
“understand”
For example: “Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house” (Twas the Night Before
Christmas, by Clement Clarke Moore)
Difference Between Rhythm and Meter

Rhythm is the pattern of stresses that occurs at a regular

place. It is an overall rhythm that runs throughout the
poem. However, as a meter, it means the specific pattern
of stressed and unstressed syllables in a poem. The
minor difference is that whereas a meter is a specific
pattern rhythm is a general poetic rhythm that runs in
almost all the poems, encompassing all the metrical
patterns.
The Intrinsic of Poetry

MESSAGE
Message is the thing that encourages poets to create
poetry. The message can be found after knowing the
meaning of poetry. Message or advice is captured by
readers as the impression after reading the poem.
How the reader to conclude message poetry is closely
related to the point of view of the reader toward
something.
EXTRINSIC
ELEMENT
Extrinsic elements of poetry is a supporting element of poetry that comes
from outside the work of poetry created. Extrinsic elements of poetry was
instrumental in the analysis of a poem. Without using the approach on the
extrinsic elements of the poem, analysts will have difficulty in determining
the reason and purpose of a poem is created. Even understanding the
meaning of a poem can be shifted from what was intended by the author,
if the poem is analyzed in the extrinsic elements only.
- Biography is a background element or author
biography
- Value element in the story, such as economic,
political, social, customs, culture, and others
- Social element is the social situation when the
poem was made.
