    suitable for children.

    NURSERY
    RHYMES
    A melodious
    traditional poem

    Nursery rhymes is the most suitable poem because;


    Majority of the rhyme use simple words (easy to memorise)
    The poem has rhyming pattern

    2. The use of language in poetry

    Rhyme
    Examples

    of rhyme might be

    Whose woods these are I think I know


    His house is in the village though
    Or
    The woods are lovely dark and deep,
    But I have promises to keep

    Rhyme
    A poem

    that rhymes makes it easy and more


    enjoyable to read.

    Rhyme

    makes a poem more musical.

    Images
    A poem

    is a series of word pictures.

    We

    see them with our imagination instead of our


    eyes.

    We

    call these pictures images.

    Theme
    The

    theme of a poem is the main


    topic or issue in the poem.

    Just

    ask yourself what is the poem


    really about?

    For

    example, the theme of Stopping


    by Woods on a Snowy Evening might
    be that life is sometimes hard but we
    need to keep travelling on.

    Tone
    When

    you talk to someone you can change the


    meaning of what you say by changing the tone of
    your voice.

    Poems

    also have a tone.

    This

    is the tone of voice of the poet, or the


    speaker of the poem.

    The

    tone in this poem is a very sad, lonely or tired


    tone.

    Mood
    The

    main emotion in the poem is


    called the mood.

    In

    Stopping by Woods on a Snowy


    Evening, there is a mood of wonder
    or sorrow.

    Atmosphere
    The

    atmosphere of the poem is linked to the


    setting of the poem.

    The

    lonely woods in Stopping by Woods on a


    Snowy Evening gives the poem an atmosphere of
    mystery, wonder and silence.

    Alliteration
    When

    lots of words in a poem start


    with the same letter it is called
    alliteration.

    This
    In

    gives the line a special beat.

    poetry this is called rhythm.

    For

    example the poem Truant opens


    with the line Sing a song of sunlight

    Simile
    A simile

    is a special kind of image.

    The

    poet creates a picture by comparing two


    things using the words like or as

    For

    example:

    as snug as a gun

    ran

    like the wind

    Metaphor
    Sometimes

    a poet creates an image by comparing


    two things without using the words like, as or
    than.

    This
    For
    It

    is called a metaphor.

    example:

    raining cats and dogs The rain is compared to


    cats and dogs falling from the sky.

    Personification
    When

    something that is not live (an inanimate


    object) is given human characteristics it is called
    personification.

    wandered lonely as a cloud The cloud is


    described as if it is a person wandering around.

    Onomatopoeia
    When

    a word imitates the sound it is describing it


    is called onomatopoeia.

    The

    snow was whispering and rustling as it fell.

    These

    verbs recreate the sound of the snow


    falling.

    Assonance

    When a vowel (a,e,i,o,u) is repeated in a line it is called


    assonance.

    Notice it is the vowel sound and not just the vowel letter
    that creates assonance.

    Words that rhyme often have assonance; this makes them


    sound the same.

    For example:

    I know/ this rose is only/ an ink-and-paper rose/ but see


    how it grows and goes/ on growing

    Repetition

    Repetition is when words or phrases are repeated in a


    poem.

    In Stopping by Woods...

    And miles to go before I sleep,


    And miles to go before I sleep.

    Thank you
