Sound Effects in Poetry
Think poetry was simple? well there are many things to do with poetry.
Poetry is not so simple as every one thought it was- just with the rhyming and simple rules-
here are a few simple definitions:
In poetry the rise and fall of a voice pattern is called rhythm.
meter-regular pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables.
free verse-sounds like an original speech.(free verse is just ongoing like reading a regular paragraph)
scanning-marks stressed and unstressed syllables.
rhyme-the repetition of a sound of a speech.
end rhyme-occurs at the end of lines.
rhyme scheme-pattern of rhymes.
alliteration-the repetition of constant sounds in words that are else together.
examples of alliteration-
Greta gets gallons of grapes at the galleria
Onomatopoeia-the use of words with sounds echo their sense a Onomatopoeia
examples-crash,bang,swish

To me poetry still has to rhyme and have the meter as you pointed. out. I don’t relate to free verse. How can you tell it is a poem and not prose?
