• DENOTATION: The common, strict definition of a word as found in a dictionary; usually easily understood

• CONNOTATION: The extra layer of meaning each word carries beyond the minimal, strict definition found in a dictionary

• Much of poetry involves the poet using connotative diction that suggests meanings beyond what the words simply say

• Example: The word "snake" simply denotes a reptile. But it has the connotation of someone who can not be trusted, someone sneaky, or dishonest

Terms and DefinitionsFree Verse: Verse without formal meter or rhyme patterns. Free verse relies upon the natural rhythms of everyday speech. Modern and contemporary poets of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries often employ free verse.Figurative Language: A form of language use in which writers and speakers convey something other than the literal meaning of their words in order to show an imaginative relationship between different things. Simile, metaphor, and personification are examples of figurative language. Simile: A figure of speech involving a comparison between unlike things using the words like or as. An example is "My love is like a red, red rose.“Metaphor: A comparison between essentially unlike things without comparative words such as like or as. An example is "My love is a red, red rose."Personification: A type of figurative language in which inanimate objects or abstract ideas are given human characteristics. Personification is a form of metaphor.Imagery: The creation of images using words. Poets usually achieve this by invoking comparisons by means of metaphor or simile or other figures of speech.

Terms and Definitions 2• Alliteration

The repetition of consonant sounds, especially at the beginning of words. Brenda’s got a baby, but Brenda’s barely got a brain.

• RhythmThe recurrence of accent or stress in lines of verse. In the following lines from "Same in Blues" by Langston Hughes, the accented words and syllables are underlined:I said to my baby, (6)Baby take it slow.... (5)Lulu said to Leonard (6)I want a diamond ring (6)

• DictionThe selection of words in a literary work. A work's diction forms one of its centrally important literary elements, as writers use words to convey action, reveal character, imply attitudes, identify themes, and suggest values.

I love to go out in late Septemberamong the fat, overripe, icy, black blackberriesto eat blackberries for breakfast,the stalks very prickly, a penaltythey earn for knowing the black artof blackberry-making; and as I stand among themlifting the stalks to my mouth, the ripest berriesfall almost unbidden to my tongue,as words sometimes do, certain peculiar wordslike strengths or squinched,many-lettered, one-syllabled lumps,which I squeeze, squinch open, and splurge wellin the silent, startled, icy, black languageof blackberry -- eating in late September.

What literary devices are being used?

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claim,Because it was grassy and wanted wear;Though as for that the passing thereHad worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden black.Oh, I kept the first for another day!Yet knowing how way leads on to way,I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.

Nothing Gold Can Stay

Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.
