 * 5/9 || EQ: What is "word music?"
 * Word Music**

“Words have certain sounds which, when combined properly, can create their own kind of music. Most good writing will contain this musical quality, from the King James Version of the Bible to Herman Melville’s Moby Dick to the well-written travel essay in National Geographic. This musical quality is essential to a poem, for poetry is above all else an oral art, the creation of words to be said chanted, sung) aloud with a particular rhythm and sound. “ – Len Roberts.

Word music can be created using four devices: alliteration, assonance, consonance, and finally, end rhyme and internal rhyme.

Bright black-eyed creature, brushed with brown. (Robert Frost, “To a Moth Seen in Winter”)
 * Alliteration:** the repetition of one or more initial sounds, usually consonants, in words within a line.

Other examples include: 'Down some profound dull tunnel, long since scooped' from //[|Strange Meeting]// by Wilfred Owen Or 'Round and round the spicy downs the yellow Lotos-dust blown.' from Tennyson's //[|The Lotos-Eaters].// Burnt the fire of thine eyes (William Blake, “The Tiger”)
 * Assonance**: The effect created when words with the same vowel sound are used in close proximity - but where the consonants in these words are different. In //[|To Autumn]// by [|John Keats] the line: 'Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;' displays assonance due to the repeated use of the 'i' vowel sound. This means that these words nearly rhyme with each other.

And all is seared with trade; bleared smeared with toil; And wears man’s smudge and shares man’s smell: the soil (Gerard Manley Hopkins, “God’s Grandeur”)
 * Consonance**: repetition of two or more consonant sounds within a line.

I was angry with my friend I told my wrath, my wrath did end (William Blake, “A Poison Tree”
 * End Rhyme**: rhyme that occurs at the end of verse lines.

. **Internal Rhyme**: rhyme contained within a line of verse. The splendor falls on castle walls And snowy summits old in story: The long light shakes across the lakes And the wild cataract leaps in glory. (Alfred, Lord Tennyson, “Blow, Bugle, Blow”

 * Line Break Poem || **Directions for Line Break Poem:**

We have learned that poets plan very carefully where they want to end the lines in their poetry. Sometimes they stop the line at a certain word because they want to use a rhyme scheme. Some poems are not built on a rhyme scheme, and so the poet simply wants to call attention to particular words.
 * 1) Using what you have recently learned in class, create a poem in which you employ line breaks to build a rhyme scheme or to create blank verse in which you choose to emphasize specific words.
 * 2) Your poem must be at least 16 lines in length.
 * 3) You can create a single stanza poem or create multiple stanzas.
 * 4) Be sure to put proper page headings that include your name and "Line Break Poem" at the top of your paper. ||
