Verse   a verse is either one line in a poem, a stanza or even an entire poem

 

Stanza    lines that are grouped together. (usually each has the same number of lines)

 

Rhyme     a rhyme is usually a similarity in the sound of two or more words usually at the end of lines in a poem or a song

 

A rhyme pattern or scheme is the way the rhymes are designed at the end of each line of a poem

 

For example:   

                          

  

 

 

 

Setting   the place, the time the surrounding in which the event takes place

 

Tone       is a device in which the poet conveys his/her attitude towards the subject of the poem

                        The tone is created by the poem’s vocabulary, metrical regularity or irregularity, syntax, use of figurative  language, and rhyme

                        The tone, in a piece of literature, determines how the readers read a literary piece and how they should feel while they                                                are reading it.

Figurative Language  

              an elaborate way of expressing yourself in which you don’t say exactly what you mean

 

Simile  a comparison of 2 unlike things that uses a word of comparison such as “like’ or “as” (a type of figurative language) 

 

For example:   

When we say or write that someone is “as strong as a mountain,” we are using a simile to compare two different things: a person and a mountain.

 

Metaphor  compares 2 unlike things, but does not use a word of comparison   (a type of figurative language)

 

For example:   

When we say or write that “The world is a stage,” we are using a metaphor to compare two different things without a word of comparison.

 

Personification  gives human qualities to nonhuman things (a type of figurative language)

 

For example:   

When we say or write, "Every photo in the album hides a secret," we are giving human qualities to the photo.
