Ch 27: Patterns of Rhyme
1. rhythm: a term used to refer to the recurrence of stressed and unstressed sounds in
poetry. Depending on how sounds are arranged, the rhythm of a poem may be fast
or slow, choppy or smooth
2. stress/accent: the emphasis given a syllable in pronunciation
3. meter: when a rhythmic pattern of stresses recurs in a poem, it is called meter.
Metrical patterns are determined by the type and number of feet in a line of verse;
combining the name of a line length with the name of a foot concisely describes
the meter of the line
4. prosody: the overall metrical structure of a poem
5. scansion: the process of measuring the stresses in a line of verse in order to
determine the metrical pattern of the line
6. foot: the metrical unity by which a line of poetry is measured. A foot usually
consist of one stressed and one or two unstressed syllables
7. rising meters: refers to metrical feet which move from unstressed to stressed
sounds, such as the iambic foot and the anapestic foot
8. falling meters: refers to metrical feet which move from stressed to unstressed
sounds, such as the trochaic foot and the dactylic foot
9. line: a sequence of words printed as a separate entity on the page. In poetry, lines
are usually measured by the number of feet they contain
10. iambic pentameter: a metrical pattern in poetry which consists of five iambic feet
per line
11. blank verse : unrhymed iambic pentameter. Black verse is the English verse form
closest to the natural rhythms of English speech and therefore is the most
common pattern found in traditional English narrative and dramatic poetry from
Shakespeare to the early twentieth century
12. spondee : a foot consisting of two stressed syllables (“dead set”), but is not a
sustained metrical foot and is used mainly for variety or emphasis
13. masculine ending : a line that ends with a stressed syllable
14. feminine ending : a line that ends with an extra unstressed syllable
15. caesura: a pause within a line of poetry that contributes to the rhythm of the line.
A caesura can occur anywhere within a line and need not be indicated by
punctuation
16. end-stopped line : a poetic line that has a pause at the end. End-stopped lines
reflect normal speech patterns and are often marked by punctuation
17. run-on line: see enjambment
18. enjambment: in poetry, when one line ends without a pause and continues into
the next line for its meaning. This is also called a run-on line
