Page 5: Poetry Terminology Review

oxymoron• a combination of two words that are

seemingly opposites – usually an adjective-noun

Examples:dark lightliving deadnoisy silencenew classicopen secretsuccessful failurevirtual reality

from Idylls of the Kingby Tennyson

"And faith unfaithful kept him falsely true.“

What are the two examples in this phrase?

Page 6: Poetry Terminology Review

couplet•a pair of rhyming lines, usually of the same length and meter

I THINK that I shall never see,A poem as lovely as a tree.

Page 7: Poetry Terminology Review

assonance• the repetition of vowel sounds to create internal rhyming

within phrases or sentences

• For example, in the phrase "Do you like blue?", the /u:/ sound ("o"/"ou"/"ue“) is repeated within the sentence

and is assonant.

Where is assonance in these two examples from literature?

Ex: Dead in the middle of little Italy, little did we know that we riddled two middle men who didn't do diddily.“

Ex: I bomb atomically—Socrates' philosophies and hypotheses can't define how I be droppin' these mockeries.

Page 8: Poetry Terminology Review

consonance• most commonly used in poetry and songs

and characterized by the repetition of the same consonant two or more times in

short succession

Examples:#1. "pitt patter" #2. "all mammals named Sam are clammy".
