Enjoy English PoemsStep 1 --- Find Rhyme & RhythmRhythm:−Pattern of beats or stresses in spoken or written language− a musical quality produced by the repetition of stressed and unstressed syllables. Metre: Meter refers to the pattern of syllables in a line of poetry. The most basic unit of measure in a poem is the syllable and the pattern of syllables in a line, from stressed to unstressed or vice versa. This is the meter.Foot: Two syllables together is known as a foot.For example: In a line of poetry the cow would be considered one foot. The is unstressed and cow is stressed, an unstressed syllable + a stressed syllable foot is known as an iamb.Iambic PentameterIn a poem, if a line has five "feet" with an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable, this is Iambic PentameterRhyme: -- Repetition of sounds at the end of wordsRhyme Scheme: A rhyme scheme is a regular pattern of rhyming words between lines of a poem.For example: Bid me to weep, and I will weep AWhile I have eyes to see;BAnd having none, and yet I will keep AA heart to weep for thee. BHere "A,B,A,B," indicates the rhyme scheme of a four-line stanza in which the first and third lines rhyme, as do the second and fourth.Step 2 --Find ImagesPoetry uses imagery to reinforce a speaker’s perception of the world, to underscore a subtle meaning, and to limn (描画) a symbol. Imagery is the use of vivid or figurative language to represent objects, actions, or ideas.Images refer to the "pictures" which we perceive with our mind's eyes, ears, nose, tongue, skin. These pictures are created or suggested by the poet. To enjoy a poem we must understand how the poet uses images to convey more than what is actually said or literally meant.For example: "summer's lease" (in Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare)rough winds -- an unwelcome extreme whetherthe eye of heaven -- the summer sunfire/ ice (in Fire and Ice by Robert Frost) helping emphasize a person’sfeelings in a relationshipStep 3 -- Find Figurative LanguageThe use of figurate language further adds to the meaning of the poem.Types of Figurative Language often used in Poetry:•Simile: a n implied comparison usually using “like” or “as”She is as beautiful as a flower•Metaphor: The process of describing one thing as if it were another.“the eye of heaven”(referring to the sun)•Personification: A figure of speech in which a thing, quality, or idea is represented as a person.Nor shall Death brag thou wand’rest in his shade•Alliteration: The repetition of the same sound at the beginning of two or more closely associated words.I hold with those who favor fireStep 4 -- Find ThemesThe theme of a poem is its central message, concern, or purpose. A theme can usually be expressed as a generalization, or general statement, about people or life. The theme may be stated directly by the writer although it is more often presented indirectly. When the theme is stated indirectly, the reader must figure out the theme by looking carefully at what the work reveals about the people or about life.

It consists offourteen lines written in iambic pentameter with a definite rime scheme and a definite thought structure.A Shakespearean sonnet are divided into three quatrains (4 lines in eachquatrain) and a couplet (2 lines).Shakespearean sonnet rime scheme: abab, cdcd, efef, gg5)Theme: praise about the beauty of the beloved (on the surface)the power of the speaker’s poem -- to defy time and last forever, to carry thebeauty of the beloved down to future generations.2.Fire and Ice1)Rhythm & Rhyme SchemeRhythm: mainly iambic tetrameter, with the exception of iambic dimeter in Line 2,8,9U / U/ U/ U/Some say the world will end in fire,(iambic tetrameter)U / U/Some say in ice.

Each line ends either with an -ire,-ice,or -ate rhyme. Each line contains either four or eight syllables.5)Theme: the fate of the world; the dangers of extreme emotions。
