Running away.
The following lines are taken from famous poem
“The bells” by Edgar Allan Poe” that use
onomatopoeia [9, 3]. For example:
Hear the sledges with the bells—
Silver bells!
What a world
of merriment their melody
foretells!
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
In the icy air of night!
Alliteration is the recurrence of an initial
consonant sound in two or more words which
either follow each other or appear close enough
to be noticeable. Functions of alliteration are to
consolidate effect,
to heighten the general
aesthetic effect, to impart a melodic effect to the
utterance, emphasis and mnemonic effects.
Shel Silverstein frequently used alliteration in his
poems for children to create a fanciful tone, even
when it meant creating nonsense words. "The
Gnome, The Gnat, & The Gnu" repeats the "gn"
sound throughout the verse.
I saw an ol' gnome
Take a gknock at a gnat
Who was gnibbling the gnose of his gnu.
I said, "Gnasty gnome,
Gnow, stop doing that.
That gnat ain't done gnothing to you."
He gnodded his gnarled ol' head and said,
"'Til gnow I gnever gnew
That gknocking a gnat
In the gnoodle like that
Was gnot a gnice thing to do."
William Shakespeare's work frequently featured
alliteration. There
are several examples in
Romeo and Juliet, but his poetry often used
alliteration too. In "Sonnet 5," for example, the
"b"
sound in beauty, bareness, and bereft set a
romantic tone. In the last line, the "s" in show,
substance, and
sweet provide a soothing
rhythm[10, 4]:
For never-resting time leads summer on
To hideous winter and confounds him there,
Sap checked with frost and lusty leaves quite
gone,
Beauty o'er-snowed and bareness everywhere.
Then were not summer's distillation left,
A liquid prisoner pent in walls of glass,
Beauty's effect with beauty were bereft,
Nor it nor no remembrance what it was.
But
flowers distilled, though they with winter
meet,
Leese but their show; their substance still lives
sweet.
"Birches" by Robert Frost repeats the "b" sound
throughout the first
four lines to emphasize the
dominant theme of the poem [5, 1]. For example:
When I see birches bend to left and right
Across the lines of straighter darker trees,
I like to think some boy's been swinging them.
But swinging doesn't bend them down to stay.
“Much Madness Is Divinest Sense" by Emily
Dickinson uses alliteration of the "m" sound in
the title [3, 5]. This is repeated in the poem itself
to encourage readers to contemplate what it
means to be mad.
Much
Madness is divinest Sense -
To a discerning Eye –
Much Sense - the starkest Madness –
'Tis the Majority
