Rhyming words are a pair of words that sound similar.They usually rhyme with the last word of a line.

It is time for all of us to discuss

of a disease called diabetus.

Rhyme is used to make a poem more entertaining, or funny, to the reader when they read it.

 

Rhythm

Rhythm is the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables of a poem.

The cat has gone under the hat.
The hat was run over by a bus.
The hat has revealed the cat!
The cat was set on fire.

Rhythm could arguably be the most important part of poetry.It directly shows how the poem is read.

Repetition

Repetition is when the writer writes the same word or phrase multiple times periodically.

I'm hungry, I want a large order of fries.

I'm hungry,I want a big mac

There's Ronald McDonald!

He smacked my food away.

I'm hungry again.

Repetition is useful in poetry because it helps emphasize a certain word or phrase's importance.

Tone

Tone is the particular attitude the poem is written in.

 You must be kind and gentle with this delicate jellyfish,

It may just decide to electrocute you, and kill you.

Tone is significant because it shows the mood of the verse of the poem.

Interpretation

Interpretation is how one perceives an idea or lesson, it's different for everybody.

 When i look at this ink blot, I see two old men having a conversation.

Interpretation is important to the reader to interpret what the poem is about, it can be whatever the reader wants it to be about.

Metaphor

A metaphor is a literary tool used to compare two things that are different.

Life is a journey, enjoy the ride

Metaphors are used to make one important point understood by using another example.

Speaker

A speaker is the person or thing that is narrating the poem in the way it is written, NOT the person reciting the poem.

"I could feel the cruel blow of his kick on my face."
He was kicked by the other fellow in the face.

A speaker is important in poetry so the reader knows what perspective they're reading the poem in.W
