The Verse Line

Line break or line turn: determined by grammar or syntax e.g. breaking the line after clauses

End-stopped: line ends with a punctuation device

Run-on line/enjambment: no acknowledged pause at end of line because the logic or grammatical sense of the line carries over to the next

Pulls: the force or speed with which the eye and voice moves across a line-break to complete an idea or thought

Caesura: pronounced pause that occurs anywhere within a line, usually in the middleSlide3

Subject and Theme

Subject refers to the what or who of the work. It involves what is being done, said, referred to, argued, expressed, and worked out regarding a person, place, thing or idea

Theme refers to the overall idea behind the work. It includes the message the poet wants to communicate based on his/her treatment (depiction and presentation) of the subject matterSlide4

Tone, Mood And Perspective

All create an emotional effect or meaning

Tone refers to the writer’s attitude towards the subject matter or reader

It is conveyed through the persona’s tone of voice

Mood is the emotional impression surrounding the work and has a definite impact. There is an expected outcome

Tools used are rhythm, rhyme, music, assonance, dissonance & figurative language (emotive words, graphic visual and aural imagery etc.)

Points of View refers to the speaking voice or persona: 1

st

person, 2

nd

person and 3

rd

personSlide5

Poetic Language and Rhythm

Diction or choice of poetic language refers to the words, phrases, sentence structures, and figurative language, which combine to help create meaning in the poem.

Consider formal and informal use of language

Syntax or the way words are structured in a sentence

Violations of conventional language i.e. poetic

liscense

and inversionsSlide6

Rhythm or Meter

All speech utterances have a rhythm associated with them, whether song, chant, rap or ordinary speech

Rhythm is one of two features credited for making a poetic line memorable, the other is rhyme

Rhythm

or Meter speaks to sound patterns created by

stressed and unstressed syllables

i.e. monosyllabic and polysyllabic words

Scaning

Let Me Stress You Out With Rhythmic Patterns

As we pronounce words in speaking or reading, we place a greater stress on some syllables more than others

Where the stress falls on the 1

st

syllable in a two syllable word the sound pattern is called trochee, adjective trochaic

Stress falls on the 2

nd

syllable in a two syllable word is called iamb, adjective iambic

Both syllables equally stressed forms a pattern called spondee, adjective spondaic

These are double meter patternsSlide8

Ms. is Stressing Me O

ut!

Where the stress falls in the first and third syllables while the third is unstressed is called dactyl, adjective dactylic

Stress on the third and little on the first and second, pattern is called anapest, adjective anapestic

These are referred to as

trimeter

or

trisyllabic

rhythmSlide9
