Poetry

1. Metre

- The definition : Low high pressure, short length, and soft sounds in poetry.

- A line of poetry can also be thought of as a path, which the words of the poem walk along. Another important rhytmical unit that we shall soon encounter is the trochee, which is a foot consisting of a stressed syllable followed by unstressed one-like an iamb in reverse

2. Verse form

-Verse is language that has been turned over or around so that it becomes something different, also be used to mean a group of lines or and individual line.

-A group of lines printed together is usually referred as a 'stanza'.

The commonest stanza in English-language poetry is the quatrain, consisting of four lines.

Others that common enough to be worth remembering are :

• the couplet (two lines)

• tercet (three)

• sestet (six)

• octet (eight)

3. Rhyme

-The function of rhyme : to arrange words in such a way that they trigger one another in our minds and persist in our memories

- A perfect rhyme : the vowel and final consonant of the last syllable of the first line, rhymes perfectly with the vowel and final consonant of the last syllable of the third line.
