8. in time.
• Many onomatopoeic words have come to mean other
things related to the sounds they make.
• 'Slap,' for instance, not only means the sound that is made
by skin hitting skin, but also the action of hitting someone
(usually on the face) with an open hand.
• 'Rustle' is the sound of papers brushing together, but it also
indicates the action of someone moving papers around and
causing them to brush together, thus making this noise.
And of course, 'twitter' is now much more than just the
sound birds make.

9. Chug, chug, chug. Puff, puff, puff. Ding-dong,
ding-dong. The little train rumbled over the
tracks.“
("Watty Piper" [Arnold Munk], The Little Engine That Could)
"Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a relief it is.“
(slogan of Alka Seltzer, U.S.)

10. Onomatopoeic poem
by Lee Emmet
water plops into pond
splish-splash downhill
warbling magpies in tree
trilling, melodic thrill
whoosh, passing breeze
flags flutter and flap
frog croaks, bird whistles
babbling bubbles from tap

11. An onomatoipeic poem
."Onomatopoeia every time I see ya
My senses tell me hubba
And I just can't disagree.
I get a feeling in my heart that I can't describe. .
It's sort of whack, whir, wheeze, whine
Sputter, splat, squirt, scrape
Clink, clank, clunk, clatter
Crash, bang, beep, buzz
Ring, rip, roar, retch
Twang, toot, tinkle, thud
Pop, plop, plunk, pow
Snort, snuck, sniff, smack
Screech, splash, squish, squeak
Jingle, rattle, squeal, boing
Honk, hoot, hack, belch."
(Todd Rundgren, "Onomatopoeia")

12. occurs when a series of words in a
row (or close to a row) have the same first (and
some internal) consonant sound.

13. • For example, “She sells sea-shells down by the
sea-shore” or “Peter Piper Picked a Peck of
Pickled Peppers” are both alliterative phrases.
In the former, all the words start with the “s”
sound, while in the later, the letter “p” takes
precedence. Aside from tongue twisters,
alliteration is also used in poems, song lyrics,
and even store or brand names.
• Note: The best way to spot alliteration being used in a
sentence is to sound out the sentence, looking for the words
with the identical consonant sounds.

14. and
and indirect may
sometimes coincide as in the following
example:
Onomatopoeic word
• The rough rapid raging Rolls Royce roared like
a jungle King among the Racing roadsters
Alliteration and Indirect onomatopoeia (because the repeated “r” sounds suggest
the sound of the vehicle on march)

15. SOME EXAMPLES
1. Eric’s eagle eats eggs, enjoying each episode of eating.
2. Fred’s friends fried Fritos for Friday’s food.
3. Garry’s giraffe gobbled gooseberryies greedily, getting
good at grabbing goodies.
4. Hannah’s home has heat hopefully.
5. Isaacs ice cream is interesting and Isaac is imbibing it.
6. Jesse’s jaguar is jumping and jiggling jauntily.
7. Kim’s kid’s kept kiting.
8. Larry’s lizard likes leaping leopards.
9. Mike’s microphone made much music.
10. Nick’s nephew needed new notebooks now not never.

16. Rhyme is the repetition of similar sounds in
two or more words, most often at the end
of lines in poems and songs.[1]
The word "rhyme" may also be used as a pars
pro toto to refer to a short poem, such as
a rhyming couplet or other brief rhyming poem
such as nursery rhymes.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhyme)

17. TYPES OF RHYME

18. Rhyme by Sound Identity
• Perfect/full rhyme : final accented vowel and all
succeeding consonants or syllables are identical, while the
preceding consonants are different, for example, great,
late; ríder, besíde her; dútiful, unbeáutiful.
• half rhyme (or slant rhyme): matching final consonants.
(bent, ant)
• Eye or Visual rhymes or sight rhymes or spelling rhymes
refer to similarity in spelling but not in sound where the
final sounds are spelled identically but pronounced
differently.[5] Examples in English are cough, bough, though,
through, and love, move. Now, “rough” rhymes perfectly
with “cough”.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhyme#Perfect_rhymes)

19. Rhymes by Syllabic Stress
• masculine: a rhyme in which the stress is on
the final syllable of the words
(rhyme, sublime)
• feminine: a rhyme in which the stress is on
the penultimate (second from last) syllable of
the words (pícky, trícky)
• dactylic: a rhyme in which the stress is on the
antepenultimate (third from last) syllable
(ca•co•pho•nies, A•ris•to•pha•nes)

20. Rhymes by their Position.
• I went to town to buy a gown. / I took the car and it wasn’t far.
• Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary -
Edgar Allen Poe (The Raven).
• I had a cat who wore a hat. / He looked cool but felt the fool.
• I lost my dog in the midst of fog. / He found his way , he
doesn't like to .
From a rap:
• I ain’t no joke, I use to let the mic smoke
Now I slam it when I’m done and make sure it’s broke
• Put my tape on pause and add some more to yours
Then you figure you’re ready for the neighborhood chores

21. Rhythm
• Rhythm is the distribution of accented or stressed syllable
in a regular or frequent pattern. Or the regular combination
of stressed and unstressed syllables in an utterance or text.
A regular pattern or organization is called a foot or metric
foot.
• The are called:
: topsy (accented/unaccented)
: destroy (unaccented/accented)
: merrily (accented/unaccented/unaccented)
: intervene
(unaccented/unaccented/accented)
: hum drum (accented/accented) or
: the sea/ son of/ mists (the "son of" in the
middle being unaccented/unaccented)

22. Rhythm: poetic feet
• As it may result, difficult to remember, I
figured out a practical way to memorized
them. Think of them in term of an acronym:

23. • A verse or line is named after the repeated
combination of unstressed and stressed
syllables like for instance:
When I or You or Anyone comes out
And gives a step Ahead and speaks
Out loud and straight our worst complaints
He is not only open and true
but also courageous and proudly sincere.

24. • Notice that the red parts represent the stressed
syllables, so the pattern is unstressed-stressed for
the first three lines and the beginning of the
fourth (but al). So, in the first three lines the
pattern or combination is repeated fives times in
line 1 and four times in lines 2,3 and 4. therefore,
the first line is named (unstressed-stressed
combination) (the
combination or foot –meter– is repeated five –
penta– times). Lines 2,3, and 4 are called Iambic
Tetrameter (tetra=four; meter=foot or measure)

25. • The last line (line number 5) has an Iambic foot (but al) and 3
anapestic ones (so cou rá geous and proud ly sincere).
Lines are named then as follows:
One foot: Monometer
Two feet: Dimeter
Three feet: Trimeter
Four feet: Tetrameter
Five feet: Pentameter
Six feet: Hexameter
Seven feet: Heptameter
Eight feet: Octameter
