Rhyme and Meter in Poetry
End Rhyme
- Occurs when the final syllables of two words rhyme
- Can be used to create a musical quality in poetry
- Types of end rhymes:
- Perfect rhyme: exact matching of sounds (e.g. cat/hat)
- Slant rhyme: similar but not exact matching of sounds (e.g. day/way)
- Consonance: repetition of identical consonant sounds (e.g. lamb/tomb)
- Eye rhyme: words that look like they should rhyme but don't (e.g. bough/bow)
Meter Patterns
- Meter is the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in a line of poetry
- Common meter patterns:
- Iambic: unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable (da-DUM)
- Trochaic: stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable (DUM-da)
- Anapestic: two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable (da-da-DUM)
- Dactylic: stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables (DUM-da-da)
- Meter patterns can create a sense of rhythm and musicality in poetry
