You see, these devices are best illustrated than described. Let's analyze a short poem by a certain D.H Lawrence.


Things men have made with wakened hands, and put soft life into
are awake through years with
transferred touch, and go on glowing for long years.
And for this reason, some old things are lovely
warm still with the life of forgotten men who made them.


Things Men Have Made, by D.H Lawrence (1929)
Take a closer look at this poem above. Look at the lines, can you point out the devices used in this poem?

Can we look for these elements of poetry listed below in this poem above before we close?


repetition (often with variation)

patterns of stressed and unstressed syllables

alliteration

occasional internal rhyme (rhyme occurring
inside a line)

occasional rhyme at the ends of lines (often
imperfect rhymes such as half-rhymes and
pararhymes )

patterns of assonance (syllables in which the
vowel sounds are the same)

imagery

Since we now know what a Free Verse should contain, can we write one? Can we identify them when we see them?

Characteristics of free verse

Free verse is not prose set out in lines. Like other sorts of poetry, it is language organised for its musical effects of rhythm and sound.
However, these effects are used irregularly, not according to any completely fixed pattern.

the poetic devices that are often found in free verse are



repetition (often with variation)

patterns of stressed and unstressed syllables
alliteration

occasional internal rhyme (rhyme occurring inside a line)

occasional rhyme at the ends of lines (often imperfect rhymes such as half-rhymes and pararhymes )

patterns of assonance (syllables in which the vowel sounds are the same)

Free verse is an open form of poetry. It does not use consistent meter patterns, rhyme , or any other musical pattern. It thus tends to follow the rhythm of natural speech.

Free verse is verse in lines of irregular length, rhyming (if at all) very irregular.

Note: nowadays some poets and critics reject the term 'free verse' and prefer to speak of 'open form' poetry or 'mixed form' poetry.

Yet, Despite it being called 'Free' it is named free verse only with a price tag!
During my secondary school days, my Physics teacher used to say 'In Freetown, nothing is free.
And you'll agree with me that it is true.


Do you actually agree with that? I mean how can they call it free verse when it isn't free? It looks free with its definition but there are things that qualifies it as a free verse.

I'm continuing from were my partner Donifez stopped last week.

FORMS OF POETRY

As we all know, Poems are classified into forms and then we identified FREE VERSE as the mother of all Poetry forms.

But have you wondered what a free verse looks like? I posted one last week. Does it match with your expectations? No? Yes? Confused? Too Long? To scattered?

Well, as the ministry moves forward, we'll see if you're right about your thoughts

U're already laughing na. cry

Okays..lemme tell u *whispers*

Last week while we were about to share d grace after our morning devotion....some1 ran into the shop shouting *pls help me*

I opened one eye to look at the ghost wey enter...but alas! Lotta ERUIKU's (agent of death cheesy) entered almost immediately with sharp nd dangerous objects including....Stones, cutlass nd big sticks..
Hehehe!...I bn don dey speak in tongues...If na u waiten u go do? tongue

I ran under a table....but the table dey vex..he no hide me wella... I ran under a big bag...but na dat one bad pass....the bag no gree hide my a.ss..chai! Na dat day I know say big yansh no good. embarassed

Hmmm! As I no see where me go package my whole body...na so I kon comot...I faced one of the guys who came in...I said "Bross good morning" grin

Shuu! The guy no dey look uche face oo...his face strong pass akpu. He roared like a lion...He said "where's the guy who ran into this place?"

I was like...shuu! See waec question oo...shocked
I replied him..."uncle...I didn't see any guy"

Sincerely...I saw d guy when he entered our toilet....but I didn't want to tell those guys....something (maybe na holy spirit) told me to pretend as if I don't know where the guy is.

The guy with bloodshot eyes like Jigsawkillah's ordered the remaining guys to check every department in our plaza...they checked the boutique which was upstairs...I followed them though....they might be thief..... Know naija guys na cheesy

My fellow prayer warriors don tear race...na only me remain for battle grand...lmao

Some of the girls said....they would tell those badt guys where the innocent boy is hiding...I warned them not to....I even threaten them with sack letter.....I don't blame them though ,they were afraid na tongue

I was the only one inside the whole complex...I was staying close to the toilet so they won't enter....I locked the door firmly nd I removed the key....I WANTED TO SAVE THIS UNKNOWN GUY...WHO BEGGED EARNESTLY FOR HELP.

THOSE badt guys noticed a kinda fowl play.....so they threatened to beat the day light outta me...I was a lil bit afraid but I was unwilling to tell them what they wanted..

I called big mum....as I was about to talk....some of the guys shouted at me to end the call immediately...I ended it by giving mum a clue bout what was going on....
I know she would call back..so I silenced my phone...I stylishly picked the call.....I told her to inform police but later I told her not to inform them cos I didn't want the police to know where he his.

To cut the long story short, hmmm! those badt guys left but promised to come back with more guys.....but they didn't. grin

When I opened the toilet....lo nd behold! the guy in d toilet was some1 I know. Some1 who had offended me b4, some1 who set me up.....I was surprised!!

I acted according to a yoruba adage which says..."bí a ba n jà, kín sé bi tí tíka kukú" (even if we're fighting...it's not possible to kill or allow peeps to be killed.

I fought for him, I saved him from the death's mouth(actually, it was Although I was almost beaten but God saved me.

KingTom nd dre11 would've made a gr8 fun of me....tongue

Dat was ao God saved me from the snares of the evil ones.


The end gringrin
