Euphony
Pleasant to hear.
A harmonious combination of words.
This can describe any poem that you think sounds pretty! It’s the opposite of cacophony and dissonance. Slide4
Elision
The omission of unstressed syllables in words – most often used to make a word fit in your line of poetry. Can also be used to show an accent. Contractions are elisions: can’t, won’t, I’m, we’re, isn’t, etc.
