Example: My stick fingers click with a snicker And, chuckling, they knuckle the keys Light-footed, my steel feelers flicker And pluck from these keys melodies. This is often furthered by the combined effect of the meaning and the difficulty of pronunciation.

Example: boa ts into the pas t Example: coo l sou l Cacophony: A discordant series of harsh, unpleasant sounds helps to convey disorder. This produces a pleasing kind of near-rhyme. These should be in sounds that are accented, or stressed, rather than in vowel sounds that are unaccented. Consonance: Repeated consonant sounds at the ending of words placed near each other, usually on the same or adjacent lines. Example: He’s a bruisin’ loser In the second example above, the short A sound in Andrew, patted, and Ascot would be assonant. These should be in sounds that are accented, or stressed, rather than in vowel sounds that are unaccented. Assonance: Repeated vowel sounds in words placed near each other, usually on the same or adjacent lines. It is noted that this is a very obvious device and needs to be handled with great restraint, except in specialty forms such as limerick, cinquain, and humorous verse. Example: fast and furious Example: Peter and Andrew patted the pony at Ascot In the second definition, both P and T in the example are reckoned as alliteration. A somewhat looser definition is that it is the use of the same consonant in any part of adjacent words. Alliteration: Repeated consonant sounds at the beginning of words placed near each other, usually on the same or adjacent lines. These various deliberate arrangements of words have been identified.
The sounds that result can strike us as clever and pleasing, even soothing. THE SOUNDS OF WORDS Words or portions of words can be clustered or juxtaposed to achieve specific kinds of effects when we hear them. Even though most poetry today is read silently, it must still carry with it the feeling of being spoken aloud, and the reader should practice “hearing” it in order to catch all of the artfulness with which the poet has created his work.
they must sound right to the listener even as they delight his ear.These words need to be precisely right on several levels at once: From the remaining possible meters the meter is chosen that lies closest (in the Levenshtein sense) to the target pattern.Features and Devices of Poetry A POET IS LIMITED in the materials he can use in creating his works: all he has are words to express his ideas and feelings. if a syllable is less stressed than one of its neighbouring words and at least as much stressed as the other neighbouring word, then it is downgraded (coded as 0) Īfter this revision, the meter is still not finalised.
if a syllable is stressed more than one of its neighbouring words and at least as much stress as the other neighbouring word then it is upgraded (coded as 1).To determine the meter for as many syllables as possible the following rules are applied: With this information of stress per word we do not have the meter yet, among other things because many words consist of one syllable. if a word ends in a vowel, while its follow-up starts with a consonant, then these two syllables are seen as one syllable with the stress on the highest weighted syllable of the two syllables involved.by means of an apostrophe left out syllables do not count.This stress information is determined on the basis of the Celex information in combination with the following heuristics: apply these two rules, but only if the resulting meter lies closer (in the Levenshtein sense) to the ideal pattern of meter: There are four weight classes for syllables: heavy, light, unstressed and unknown. For any given line of verse firstly the relative weight of the syllables in the individual words is determined. The meter is coded internally as a string of ones and zeroes.
A 0 means unstressed, while a 1 means stressed. Simply paste in the Dutch poem you wish to process and click 'Submit'. The meter is represented as zeroes and ones.
