Poetry 35-75

• The Lion 
• The differences between poetry and prose is that poem is written in lines that do not necessarily make any sense. However, the prose is printed & written.
• Lenght and Rhythm 

1. Each line of the poem can be divided into feet and each foot into stresses.
2. The process of dividing a line into its metrical feet and each foot into its individual parts is called scansion. 
3. An iambic foot is one light stress followed by one heavy stress. 
4. Five iambic feet strung together to create an iambic pentameter line.

• Constancy 

1. The rhythmic pattern of the poem.
2. It takes no more than 3 lines for a rhythm o transfer to a reader.
3. The quick response to the prevailing rhythmic pattern is true of " free " verse as well as metrical verse, even though the pattern in free-form poems is less mathematically measurable than it is metric verse. 
4. The length and the established rhythm changes the very physiological mood of the reader. 

• The beginning of the Line And the end of the line.

1. The most important point in the line is the end of the line. 
2. The second most important point is the beginning of it. 
3. The similarity of the end of two or more lines creates cohesion, order, and gives pleasure. 

• Turning the Line

1. Always, at the end of each line, there exists -inevitably-a brief pause. 
2. This pause is part of the motion of the poem, as hesitation is part of the dance. 
3. The writer of the nonmetrical verse also has this end-of-line pause to work with and can choose among various ways of handling it. 

• Conclusion 

1. No poems will sound the same or alike, even though both are written in, say, iambic tetrameter rhyming couples. 
2. On the other hand, the poem needs to be reliable.

• Some Given Forms a poem requires a design - a scene of orderliness.  
• Part of a good and interesting poem is that it is well made, and it gives pleasure to the authority and sweet.

1. Lenght, Breadth, and Rhyme 

• Rhyming patterns everything from a single rhythming couplets.
