Poetry is a form of literary art and uses particular forms and conventions to suggest alternative meaning in the words and to evoke some emotional responses. There are sound patterns in poetry which create further meaning‚ such as assonance‚ alliteration and onomatopoeia. These sound effects have a particular function in a poem. Poems often make heavy use of imagery and word association to quickly convey emotions.[1] Poetry is distinguished from prose because are used some techniques such as rhyme

be a tall‚ ugly weed” The poet also uses contrasting very well by comparing the weed to the flower throughout the whole poem. This is shown by him using “Let them”‚ I’d rather and “than”. The poet also uses sound devices such as alliteration and repetition. Alliteration gives the effect of making the line more memorable and helps to covey imagery.

The poem begins with contrasting nature’s green with gold. It’s as if the green of life is golden to those who treasure it. Whether that is the beauty of virginity or the innocence of childhood‚ it begins as untarnished gold. The alliteration of “h” in the next line creates softness in the words. Frost personifies even Mother Nature’s difficulty remaining in that precious state of gold‚ as it is her “hardest hue to hold”.

Sans Merci‚ has twelve stanzas which are all quatrains. Also‚ Keats uses a set rhyme scheme of abcb’ throughout the entire poem. Keats also uses very little alliteration and assonance just as he uses very little rhyming throughout the poem. "Her hair was long‚ her foot was light" (15); "And made sweet moan" (20) are examples of alliteration that Keats uses in the poem. "So haggard and so woe-begone?" (6) Is an example of assonance. In this ballad‚ John Keats uses repetition of first stanza at the

also an example of alliteration. The next line reads‚ “no one dares overtake”. It is using the strong word dares‚ instead of just saying no one overtakes‚ to highlight the danger in trying to overtake while the traffic is grouped and crowded.

“Mooses” The poem “Mooses”‚ by Ted Hughes‚ is about two mooses that find themselves ugly and not attractive. But my thesis is‚ mooses are large mentally challenged animals. I came down to this because of the author’s statements in his poem.
