Rhyme, Alliteration, Assonance

The Old English epic poem Beowulf is in alliterative verse.

Main articles: Rhyme, Alliterative verse, and Assonance

Rhyme, alliteration, assonance and consonance are ways of creating repetitive patterns of sound. They may be used as an independent structural element in a poem, to reinforce rhythmic patterns, or as an ornamental element.They can also carry a meaning separate from the repetitive sound patterns created. For example, Chaucer used heavy alliteration to mock Old English verse and to paint a character as archaic.

Rhyme consists of identical ("hard-rhyme") or similar ("soft-rhyme") sounds placed at the ends of lines or at predictable locations within lines ("internal rhyme"). Languages vary in the richness of their rhyming structures; Italian, for example, has a rich rhyming structure permitting maintenance of a limited set of rhymes throughout a lengthy poem. The richness results from word endings that follow regular forms. English, with its irregular word endings adopted from other languages, is less rich in rhyme. The degree of richness of a language's rhyming structures plays a substantial role in determining what poetic forms are commonly used in that language.

Alliteration is the repetition of letters or letter-sounds at the beginning of two or more words immediately succeeding each other, or at short intervals; or the recurrence of the same letter in accented parts of words. Alliteration and assonance played a key role in structuring early Germanic, Norse and Old English forms of poetry. The alliterative patterns of early Germanic poetry interweave meter and alliteration as a key part of their structure, so that the metrical pattern determines when the listener expects instances of alliteration to occur. This can be compared to an ornamental use of alliteration in most Modern European poetry, where alliterative patterns are not formal or carried through full stanzas. Alliteration is particularly useful in languages with less rich rhyming structures.

Assonance, where the use of similar vowel sounds within a word rather than similar sounds at the beginning or end of a word, was widely used in skaldic poetry, but goes back to the Homeric epic. Because verbs carry much of the pitch in the English language, assonance can loosely evoke the tonal elements of Chinese poetry and so is useful in translating Chinese poetry. Consonance occurs where a consonant sound is repeated throughout a sentence without putting the sound only at the front of a word. Consonance provokes a more subtle effect than alliteration and so is less useful as a structural element.

A stanza is a group of lines of poetry (usually 4 or more) arranged according to a fixed plan.

"Five Line Poems" are a great way to introduce the idea of a stanza to a child -- each stanza of the poem is five lines (you'd usually have the children complete three or four stanzas).

When doing five line poems with children, give them the first or last line of each stanza and have them design the rest.  Remember, not all poems have to rhyme!

For example:

I am _________ and _________.  Could be the first line of each stanza.  The kids would fill in the blanks and then design the rest of their poem accordingly.

Stanza 1:  When I was a baby, with the rest of the stanza indented.

Stanza 2:  When I was in kindergarten, 

Stanza 3:  Now that I am in Grade ___,  

Stanza 1:  Spring is the season of growth.

Stanza 2:  Summer is the season of warmth.

Stanza 3:  Fall is the season of colors.

Stanza 4:  Winter is the season of white.

The children would use the above as the last line of each stanza

Example:

I AM FAST AND FUNby Tasha (Age 9)

I am fast and fun.

I can dream, dreams that nobody has dreamt before.

I would go on adventures all over the world.

I want to write out my imagination.

I enjoy seeing peace.

I am fast and fun.

I want to fly and taste the air.

I am not afraid to say what I want.

I feel such smooth things that touch my fingers.

I find such pretty things in nature.

I am fast and fun.

I want to be a soccer star.

I think hard about things.

I wonder where we go when we fade.

I feel so great when I help someone.
