Poetic devices are often lumped together with figurative language techniques (simile, metaphor, personification, understatement). We will do a quick review of poetic devices. Then we will go right into figurative language. |

Alliteration is the repetition of the initial consonant sound in words. An easier (though less exact) way to say this is that alliteration is when the first sounds in words repeat. Alliteration often works with assonance and consonance to make phonetically pleasing arrangements. Jakia jumped in the jar of jelly. Despite their mother’s warnings, the children chose to chew with their mouths open. The grass grew green in the graveyard. Notice the repetition of the “j” sound here? |

Alliteration is not always so jarringly obvious. Sometimes it is very subtle, such as in the following example: He cleaned the kitchen. Though this example is still pretty obvious, it shows that even when one word starts with a “k” and another word starts with a “c,” it is still considered an instance of alliteration. When we study alliteration, we are concerned with the sounds of the words, not just the letters. |
| Re: Poetry Classes For Beginners - NPC (Signup Thread) by Buqqui: 9:34pm On Jan 11, 2015 |
Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds. It is often used in combination with consonance and alliteration. He saw the cost and hauled off. Will she read these cheap leaflets. The snow in the rose garden groaned. Notice the repetition of the “awe” sounds in the first example, the “e” sounds in the second example, or the “o” sounds in the third example? Assonance can be subtle and may go unnoticed if you’re not scanning for it. |

Consonance Also known as near rhyme, off rhyme, or slant rhyme, consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds in the middle or at the end of words. Using consonance is a sophisticated poetic technique that can create subtle yet beautiful lyrics or lines of poetry. Here is an example of consonance: Her finger hungered for a ring. The satin mittens were ancient. You could paddle through the spittle in the bottle. Though the first of the above examples is also an example of personification, we are interested in the repetition of the “nger” and “ng” sounds. If nobody is around you right now, say out loud, “hungry and angry.” Notice how similar the words sound? What you are hearing is consonance, or the repetition of the “ngry” consonant sounds. |

Enjambment is when the writer uses line breaks meaningfully and abruptly to either emphasize a point or to create dual meanings. When a poem is read, the reader will conventionally make a slight pause (shorter than a comma) when transitioning from line to line. When a writer uses enjambment, he or she uses this space to spread an idea over more than one line, either creating an alternate interpretation of the lines or drawing attention to the enjambed words. Rolling through the field in the dead of winter. When the word “dead” is placed on a line in isolation, it invites the reader to focus on that idea. Surrounded by empty space, the idea may resonate powerfully. Though enjambment could be used during a speech, the term “enjambment” is generally applied to the study of poetry. |

Imagery is when the writer or speaker uses their descriptions to access the senses of the reader of listener. Sometimes this is called, using sensory details. When I say “senses” or “sensory,” I am referring to the five senses: sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell. An old lump of snow melted in the corner. The chirping crickets filled the empty night air. I was awoken by the pleasing scent of the bacon as it wafted down the hallway. As you read the first example, you might be visualize snow melting, because the description accesses your sense of sight. When you read the second example, you may imagine the noises that crickets produce, as the imagery in the text references this sound. And as you encounter the third example, you may recall the aroma of bacon based on the imagery in the sentence. Good writers don’t just tell you things, they show you things by using imagery. |
