Definition of sound devicesSound devices are resources used by poets to convey and reinforce the meaning or experience of poetry through the skillful use of sound.

After all, poets are trying to use a concentrated blend of sound and imagery to create an emotional response. The words and their order should evoke images, and the words themselves have sounds, which can reinforce or otherwise clarify those images.

All in all, the poet is trying to get you, the reader, to sense a particular thing, and the use of sound devices are some of the poet’s tools.

The sound pattern created by stressed and unstressed syllables.

The pattern can be regular or random.

RHYTHM

Page 4: Sound of devices in poetry

Pattern of Rhythm

The organization of voice patterns, in terms of both the arrangement of stresses and their frequency of repetition per line of verse.

The conscious measure of the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in a line of poetry.

The unit of meter. Metrical lines are named for the constituent foot and for the number of feet in the line: monometer (1), dimeter (2), trimeter (3), tetrameter (4), pentameter (5), hexameter (6), heptameter (7) and octameter (8); thus, a line containing five iambic feet, for example, would be called iambic pentameter.

• Example:

I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree.

The purple words/syllables are “stressed”, and they have a regular pattern, so this poetic line has “meter”.

When the night begins to fall

And the sky begins to glow

You look up and see the tall

City of lights begin to grow –

In rows and little golden squares

The lights come out. First here, then there

Behind the windowpanes as though

A million billion bees had built

Their golden hives and honeycombs

Above you in the air.

By Mary Britton Miller

Where Are You Now?The rhythm in this poem is slow – to match the night

gently falling and the lights slowly

coming on.

RHYMERhyme is a repetition of similar sounds in two or more words, most often in the final syllables of lines in poems and songs.

Types of rhyme : End rhymes appear at the end of two or more lines of

poetry. Internal rhymes appear within a single line of poetry.

Example of end rhyme and internal rhyme :

Snow makes whiteness where it falls.

The bushes look like popcorn balls.

And places where I always play,

Look like somewhere else today.

By Marie Louise Allen

The Raven

Once upon a midnight DREARY, while I pondered weak and WEARY

While I nodded, nearly NAPPING, suddenly there came a TAPPING

By Edgar Allan Poe

First Snow

Example :

Slowly, silently, now the moon

Walks the night in her silver soon;

This way, and that, she peers, and sees

Silver fruit upon silver trees…

from Silver by Walter de la Mare

I jiggled it jaggled it jerked it.

I pushed and pulled and poked it.But –As soon as I stopped,And left it aloneThis tooth came outOn its very own!

by Lee Bennett Hopkins

This Tooth

ASSONANCE A repetition of vowel sounds within words or syllables.

Poetry is old, ancient, goes back far.

It is among the oldest of living things.

So old it is that no man knows how and why the first poems came.

--Carl Sandburg, Early Moon

Fleet feet sweep by sleeping geese.

Free and easy.

Make the grade.

The stony walls enclosed the holy space.

CONSONANCE The repetition of consonant sounds within word.

Example :

And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain.” –Edgar Allen Poe
