"Poetry Sounds"

At first, I thought rhyme was a rhyme that makes words a beat and it rhymes with the words, but I learned that rhyme is the repetition of the sound of stressed vowel and any sounds that follow in words that are close together.An example of a poem with end rhyme is below. The title is "Flavor Of The Day", and the author is Jenni.The rhyme scheme is "vain", "rain" and "pain", "day".On my poetry pretest, I was at grade-level. On my post test, I hope that I will be above grade-level.

Flavor Of The Day
by Jenni
Here you come,creeping back in.Inside your ever-changing tastes,once again, I'm the flavor of the day.Are we still the same?Now I'm burning in vain.I gave you too many chances,and you left me standing alone in the rain.I loved you too much,and then I learned it wasn't worth the pain I brought down on myself.I still love you so very much,and here I am,the flavor of the day,melting alone in the rain.

"Imagery and Figurative Language."

At first, I thought imagery was a type of writing you would use in a poem, but I learned that this was wrong. Actually, imagery is a figure of speech such as like, as, or resssembles,I also learned about figurative language. I used to think figurative language was a language that is used to describe things, but I learned that figurative language is a speech or writing that departs from literal meaning in order to achieve a special effect or meaning, speech or writing employing figures of speech.The three main types of figurative language are similie, metaphor, and personafication.
