On Rhythm..

• Rhythm of a piece of literature not as delicate as rhythmic flow of a poem

• In poems – syllables placed to create repetition

• Some poems even have specific rhythm and syllable patterns

Rhythm Specific Poems!

• Haiku’s and Sonnets• Haiku’s – syllable pattern per line: 5, 7, 5• Sonnet – iambic pentameter


Example of a Haiku:

Blue crystal watersFor washing stained hands spotless

With loves white linen


Example of a Sonnet:

Two households, both alike in dignity,In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,

From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.


If you call me I won’t be homeI’m hiding from the kingdom comeThey can’t see anything on earthWith the satellites and the roving drones

Here’s more B. O. H. with changed rhythmic pronunciation!!!



• In appearance however there’s a different pattern!!


Aura

• Both artists’ creates/evokes an emotion in listeners

• Accompanying music creates/agrees with the lyrics

• However some artists do the opposite

Popular by: Nada SurfVerse:Three important rules for breaking upDon't put off breaking up when you know you want toProlonging the situation only makes it worseTell him honestly, simply, kindly, but firmlyDon't make a big productionDon't make up an elaborate storyThis will help you avoid a big tear jerking sceneIf you wanna date other people say soBe prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejectedEven if you've gone together for only a short time,And haven't been too serious,There's still a feeling of rejectionWhen someone says she prefers the company of othersTo your exclusive company,But if you're honest, and direct,And avoid making a flowery emotional speech when you brake the news,The boy will respect you for your frankness,And honestly he'll appreciate the kind of straight forward mannerIn which you told him your decisionUnless he's a real jerk or a cry baby you will remain friends

Chorus:I'm head of the class'm popularI'm a quarter backI'm popularMy mom says I'm a catch
