1. LITERARY DEVICES USED IN POETRY

2. REVIEW

3. It is the repeating of beginning consonant sounds. It is the poetry that does not follow a specific form and does not have to rhyme. It is a line or lines that is/are repeated at the end or in the middle of stanzas in poem. It is a type of Japanese poetry that is made up of three lines. A group of lines in a poem similar to that of a paragraph; the way the poem is divided.

4. The Old Pond By: Matsuo Basho An old silent pond A frog jumps into the pond, S plash! Silence again.

5. Objective At the end of the lesson, learners are expected to: Identify different LITERARY DEVICES used in poetry as one of its key features.

6. Jumbled Letters Let the learners form words out of the jumbled letters to f orm the literary device used in poetry. Then, the learner who got the correct answer will give his or her idea what the literary piece is about.

7. ALLEGORY L A L Y E G R O

8. ALLEGORY Is a story, poem, or other written work that can be interpreted to have a secondary meaning. Aesop’s Fables are examples of allegories, as they are ostensibly about one thing but actually have a secondary meaning.  

9. ALLITERATION   L N O I A L T I A R E T

10. ALLITERATION Is a repetition of a sound or letter at the beginning of words in a series. “Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary… (The Raven) Poe uses alliteration with the “wh” sound at the beginning of multiple words. The repetition mimics the sound of the wind (something you might hear on a dreary night), and also sounds a little soothing.  

11. ALLUSION U A O L I N L S

12. ALLUSION Is an indirect reference to something. “The Cunninghams are country folks, farmers, and the crash hit them hardest.” *Lee isn’t speaking of a literal crash-she’s referencing the stock market crash of the late 1920s, which left many people without money. Scout, To Kill a Mockingbird’s narrator, references the stock market crash in a way that’s appropriate for her context, which readers can gather from the novel’s setting.  

13. APOSTROPHE A E H P S O P O R T

14. APOSTROPHE Is a poetic device where the writer addresses a person or thing that isn’t present with an exclamation. “O stranger of the future! O inconceivable being! whatever the shape of your house, no matter how strange and colorless the clothes you may wear. I bet nobody there likes a wet dog either. I bet everybody in your pub even the children, pushes her away.” -Billy Collins, “To a Stranger Born in S ome Distant Country Hundreds of Years from Now”  

15. ASSONANCE E C N A N O S S A

16. ASSONANCE Is a repetition of vowel or diphthong sounds in one or more words found close together. Example “Hear the loud alarum bells- Brazen bells! What tale of terror, now, their turbulency tells! In the startled ear of night How they scream out their affright! Too much horrified to speak, They can only shriek, shriek, Out of tune…” -Edgar Allan Poe, “The Bells”  

17. CONSONANCE S N O C E C N A N O

18. CONSONANCE Is a repetition of specific consonant sounds in close proximity. Example “Tyger Tyger, burning bright, In the forests of the night; What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry?” -William Blake, “The Tyger”  

19. ENJAMBMENT T N E M B M A J N E

20. ENJAMBMENT Is the continuation of a sentence beyond a line break, couplet, or stanza without an expected pause. “What happens to a dream deferred?” Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore- And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over- -Langston Hughes, “ H arlem” like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags Like a heavy load. Or does it explode?”  

21. IRONY R I O Y N

22. IRONY Has different meanings, the most common is the use of tone or exaggeration to convey a meaning opposite to what is being literally said. Verbal irony- happens when what someone says does not match what they mean, might look something like this: “Yeah, I love dogs,” she said dryly, holding the miniature poodle at arm’s length as hives sprang up along her arms.  

23. 2. Situational irony- is a type of irony where the opposite of what is expected happens, resulting in humorous or tragic consequences. For example: A p olice station getting robbed or a marriage counselor getting a divorce---so the fact that these unexpected things occur is funny. 3. Dramatic irony- the situation when the audience understands more about a situation than some of the characters do. In Romeo and Juliet, the audience knows that Juliet is not dead when Romeo comes to find her in the tomb, but obviously cannot stop Romeo from killing himself to be with her.  

24. SIMILE L I E I S M

25. SIMILE Is a figure of speech in which one thing is likened to another in such a way as to clarify and enhance an image. It is an explicit comparison recognizable by the use of the words “like” or “as”. It is equally common in prose and verse and is a figurative device of great antiquity. Example: “The great blast furnaces of Leige rose along the line like ancient castles burning in the boarder raid.”  

26. METAPHOR R O H M E A T P

27. METAPHOR Is a figure of speech in which one thing is described in terms of another. The comparison is usually implicit; whereas in simile it is explicit. “Shelley dreamed it. Now the dream decays. The props crumble. The familiar ways Are stale with tears trodden underfoot. The heart’s flower withers at the root. Bury it, then, in history’s sterile dust. The slow years shall tame your tawny lust.”  

28. PERSONIFICATION N O I T A C I F I N O S R E P

29. PERSONIFICATION Is an impersonation or embodiment of some quality or abstraction; the attribution of human qualities to inanimate objects. Personification is inherent in many languages through the use of gender, and it appears to be very frequent in literatures-especially poetry. The moon is no door. It is a face in its own right, White as a knuckle and terribly upset. It drags the sea after it like a dark crime; it is quiet With the O-gape of complete despair.  

30. PUN U N P

31. PUN Is a play on words using multiple meanings or similar sounds as a joke. Example “Mine is a long and a sad tale!” said the Mouse, turning to Alice, and sighing. “It is a long tail, certainly,” said Alice, looking down with wonder at the Mouse’s tail; “but why do you call it sad?” And she kept on puzzling about it while the Mouse was speaking…” -Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland  

32. REPETITION P E E R N O I T T O

33. REPETITION Is a process of repeating certain words or phrases. Example “Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night.” -Dylan Thomas, Do not Go Gentle Into That Good Night  

34. HYPERBOLE E H Y P E L R O B

35. HYPERBOLE Is a figure of speech which contains an exaggeration for emphasis. Example By heaven methinks it were an easy leap To pluck bright honour from the pale fac’d moon, Or dive into the bottom of the deep Where fathom line could never touch the ground.  

36. ONOMATOPOEIA N O A T O I A M E O P O

37. ONOMATOPOEIA Is a formation and use of words to imitate sounds. It is very common in verse and in prose and is found in many literatures at all times. Example “When the train starts, and the passengers are settled To fruit, periodicals and business letters (And those who saw them off have left the platform) Their faces relax from grief into relief, To the sleepy rhythm of a hundred hours.  

38. POLYPTOTON N O P T O L O Y T P

39. POLYPTOTON Is a rhetorical device and a type of repetition where words with the same root but different forms, such as different inflections or parts of speech, are used within a sentence to emphasize a concept. Example “ Not as a call to battle, though embattled we are.”----where the words “battle” and “embattled” share the same root and are repeated in different forms.  

40. Application Identify the literary device reflected in each statement. I’m so busy trying to accomplish ten million things at once. Einstein is not a good mathematician. The sofa is not fertile soil for such a potato. Don’t delay dawn’s disarming display. Dusk demands daylight. Why should their liberty than ours be more?  

41. 6. She looks like a flower but she stings like a bee. 7. That rise in poverty will unlock the Pandora’s box of crimes. 8. The picture in that magazine screamed for attention. 9. The clatter of utensils. 10. Having a fight with your best friend just before your birthday and commenting. “Great! This is just what I needed.”  

42.   Generalization Why do we need to use these literary devices in writing a poem?  

43. Evaluation Read the following poem titled “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” by William Wordsworth. Identify the literary devices used in the poem. Write your answers using your BIG notebook. I Wandered L onely as a Cloud William Wordsworth I wandered lonely as a Cloud    That floats on high o’er Vales and Hills, When all at once I saw a crowd,    A host of golden Daffodils; Beside the Lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.  

44. Continuous as the stars that shine    And twinkle on the Milky Way, They stretched in never-ending line    Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance . The waves beside them danced, but they    Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:— A Poet could not but be gay    In such a jocund company: I gazed—and gazed—but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought : For oft when on my couch I lie    In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye    Which is the bliss of solitude, And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the Daffodils.  

45.   Assignment Look for the meaning and examples of the following literary devices. 1. zeugma 6. chiasmus 2. synecdoche 7. litotes 3. metonymy 8. antithesis 4. conceit 9. euphemism 5. trope 10. anaphora
