If the creator's life is a mess, the critic's life is a job: Wliich word goes where? How does this word sound next to that one? What would happen if this line were moved up to the top of the poem?

Guidelines for Effective

823

Harsh talk, but true talk. "Can your performance face the open fields and the seaside?" Is it from real life, and not just something like what you read in a book somewhere? The choice is your own. But borrowing words and ideas from another book is doubly removed from the life which all books seek to catch. Let your words, at least, come from your own life, and not from some way you think you should be living.

Use Emotion-Rousing Words Poetry and song appeal to the emodons.

It is

important, therefore, to

words which can arouse your reader's or listener's emodons. Short, sharp Anglo-Saxon words are almost always more effecdve dian ponderous polysyllables derived from Ladn or Greek. Precise, specific words are as a rule far stronger than general, more abstract words. For example, peony is more effecdve than flower; but either is better than Paeonia officinalis! hoixy talk about such abstractions as truth, beaut), or jusdce in song or poetry can simply put people to sleep, especially when compared to the use of more specific words and examples. It's always valuable to use words with strong emodonal overtones: select

Watch for Old Words and Expressions Have you heard anyone lately say 'tis, or doth, beshrew or wouldst, hath, or g^am^^? Probably not. You can find these words in Shakespeare, but that's because he heard them in the late 1500s. They live on in his poetry, but the only kind of poem you could make with them now is a parody of Shakespeare or some other Elizabethan poet. Here are some things to avoid, with some examples of words not to use: 1.

But, once the rhyming word is chosen, the need for selecting from the limited group of rhyming words can spur the creative poetic imagination to weigh and consider all possible uses of those words, and even reconsider and re-organize the poem as a whole.

Wood had to consider the limited number of rhymes to woods, and what could be done with each of them; he finally chose the following: Bowling the crimson partridge berries, Playing leapfrog

which was the kind of playful image Wood needed after the rather nebulous idea in the first two lines. A similar process may take place with the writing of any poem, as long as the poet's mind is not fixed on one particular image or idea and allows the creative process to be fluid and developing.

those in power and the fundamentals of English.

find rhyming pairs such as the following: plan,

Rhyme is a powerful force in poetry, whether tradidonal as end line rhyme or internal. Lately, two facts have led to internal rhyme becoming more important for the poet and songwriter: I) so much recent poetry has been published in blank and free verse; 2) much rap music uses internal rhyme. The term "internal rhyme" now is often used to cover not only full rhymes {crashing, stnashing) but also the use of assonance and consonance within the poedc line.

Assonance and Consonance Assonance, sometimes called vowel rhyme,

is

the rcpetidon of the

last

accented vowel sound in a word (and somedmes all following vowel sounds) with a difference in the consonant sounds afterwards. Found often in Provencal, early French, Spanish, and Portuguese poetry, it can ,

Consonance has a long

history in English poetry, however, for

some

of the same reasons as alliteration: the importance of consonant sounds in

Anglo-Saxon, Old English, and early English ballads. But the limited

number of accurate rhymes in English has made consonance attractive to many poets from Emily Dickinson, who often used it in place of full rhymes, to free verse poets in our time. And so consonance has also been used in two ways: to refer io full consonance, where the consonant sounds are closest to rhyme, and to internal consonance, where the same consonant sounds appear within words.

Consonance When compared to rhyme, Full

full consonance multiplies the possible combinations of words by about 10 dmes; moreover, consonance often possesses a freshness that many rhymes lost long ago. For example, death has few rhyming mates {breath, saith [archaic], and minor accent rhymes

The alliteration of To, take, to, and terrain is echoed by the internal consonance of the t in yesterday. The form of consonance has become more important as more free verse has been written; sometimes the use of consonance in free verse is nearly as important as the use of rhyme in traditional poetry. Examples abound. Notice how in the following lines the poet uses s sounds to obtain a hissing effect as he describes government authorities spinning the Three Mile Island nuclear accident in the 1970s: .

However, people can get confused about rhythm (and even confuse rhythm and rhyme), and the history of poetry in English hasn't been much help in overcoming the confusion. There are three main categories of rhythm in English poetry: accent verse, scansion (or metric verse), and free verse (sometimes referred to by its French name, vers litre) You may have learned something about scansion in high school or college and it just seemed like more of the same weirdness that made all poetry seem weird. Actually, you were right: Metric verse is not natural to English; it was imported into English from French, Italian, and other romance languages deriving from Latin. English verse probably originated in free verse, but the oldest form of regular rhythm in English poetry is accent verse. So, although we'll have to go back a few centuries to show how accent verse started, it's also one of the most contemporary forms of verse around. .

Early Accent Verse

in

English

Accent verse is poetry with a definite number of accents to each line, with unaccented syllables ranging from none to as many as the poet desires, placed wherever he or she wishes. It was the basic rhythmic

form of Anglo-Saxon poetry and continued to exert its influence in Old English poetry even after English began absorbing the French language of the Norman conquerors after 1066. There were three basic requirements of Old English verse: 1.

Four accents

Poetry comes from speech and should always be based in speech. Free verse and prose require only natural scansion. Accent verse

is

also

marking only the accents and ignoring the unaccented syllables and minor accents. All three forms of rhythm in English are closer to speech than is formal, pattern scansion, which requires more precision and sometimes that precision makes the poetry less accessible to an audience of readers or listeners. close to natural scansion,

Metric Verse:

A Review

Of all the metric feet, the iamb (ta TUM) is the most natural in English. The language has about as many unaccented s)'llables as accented, and a majorit)' of sentences start with

and dact\'l, are less iamb and trochee because it is not natural in English to use two unaccents for every accent. To use anapests (ta ta TUM) effectively, you would need to use a lot of Latinate words, such as the natural anapests in apprehend, coincide, interfere, and supersede. Of course, you can build anapests by putting together several syllables, such as to the end, luith delight, and into Rome. But it is not easy maintaining the anapest Three-syllable feet, like the anapest, amphibrach,

The

Miltonic Sonnet

The most successhil adaptation of the Italian sonnet was made by John Milton, who emphasized the "turn" by adding a break in the middle of the eighth line, making the last part of the line more a part of the sestet than the octave.

and sestet way the "turn" became the central feature of the Petrarchan sonnet for poets writing in English. Because there are far fewer rhyming words in English than there are in Italian, English poets have often found it necessary to change the form somewhat, but the contrast between the octave and sestet has remained in all the variations on the Italian form.

Syllable-Count Forms The

haiku (or hokku) is a Japanese form of only three lines. There's no rhyme nor rhythm required, but the whole poem can be only 17 syllables, broken into lines of five, seven, and five syllables. But, to the Japanese, who have been writing haiku for centuries, the poem's form is not as important as its depth of thought. Haiku poetry is heavily influenced by Zen Buddhism; each haiku provides a moment of insight, ba.sed in a natural or seasonal description, leading the reader to think
