Caesuras – pauses that occur within lines of poetrySorrow is my own yardwhere the new grassflames // as it has flamedoften before // but not
with the cold firethat closes round me this year.
A noiseless patient spider,I marked where on a little promontory it stood isolated,
Marked how to explore the vacant vast surrounding,
It launched forth filament,
//
filament,
//
filament,
//
out of itself,
Ever unreeling them,
//
ever tirelessly speeding them.Slide5

Introductionmeter – comes from the Greek term for measurepoetry written in a regular pattern of stressed and unstressed syllablesthe recognition and naming of broad wave patterns in lines of verse (like waves on the shore or the wave patterns of sounds in physics)Slide8
Meter – the identifying characteristic of rhythmic language that we can tap our feet to Slide9
Meter continuedthere are a succession of lines or sentences that have the same metrical pattern, but is not necessarily exactly rhythmically identicallines are repeated again and again in the same broad rhythmical patterns, creating a rhythmical unit eg: “To this I witness call the fools of TimeWhich die for goodness, who have lived for crime.”Slide10
Poetry has Feetthe technical meaning – has one stressed syllable and one or more unstressed syllables or has one unstressed syllable and one or more stressed syllablesis a measurable, patterned, conventional unit of poetic rhythmthe non-technical meaning – connected to how we walkpattern and rhythm of steps equal to pattern and rhythm of poemsrhythm of music connected to movement of body and rhythmical pattern of movementSlide11

Scansion the system of using symbols to represent stressed and unstressed patterns in a poem in order to be able to “read” the poem gives the broad wave pattern, but doesn’t define the individual wave or patternSlide15

She lived in storm and strife,Her soul had such desireFor what proud death may bring
That it could not endureThe common good of life
But lived as ‘twere a king
That packed his marriage day
With banneret and pennon,
Trumpet and kettledrum,
And the outrageous cannon,
To bundle time away
That the night come.
