Poetry 3

The English sonnet, also called the Shakespearean sonnet, has a rhyme scheme of abab cdcd efef gg. Shakespeare used this form in his sonnets. His Sonnet 130, which was published in 1609, follows:



My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun-

Coral is far more red than her lips' red-

If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun-

If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head:

I have seen roses damasked, red and white,

But no such roses see I in her cheeks,

And in some perfumes is there more delight

Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.

I love to hear her speak, yet well I know

That music hath a far more pleasing sound.

I grant I never saw a goddess go;

My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.

And yet by heaven I think my love as rare

As any she belied with false compare.

Poetry 2

Much poetry, especially that written in the 1900's, has no rhyme scheme and no meter. Such poetry is often called free verse. The American poet Theodore Roethke used no rhyme scheme and no meter in "Root Cellar" (1943). The unpredictable form of Roethke's poem echoes the unexpected behavior of the things in the cellar:

Nothing would sleep in that cellar, dank as a ditch,

Bulbs broke out of boxes hunting for chinks in the dark,

Shoots dangled and drooped,

Lolling obscenely from mildewed crates,

Hung down long yellow evil necks, like tropical snakes.

And what a congress of stinks!

Roots ripe as old bait,

Pulpy stems, rank, silo-rich,

Leaf-mold, manure, lime, piled against slippery planks.

Nothing would give up life:

Even the dirt kept breathing a small breath.

Poetry

Lord Tennyson's poetry that was first published in 1842,

Break, break, break,

On thy cold gray stones, O Sea!

And I would that my tongue could utter

The thoughts that arise in me.

In these four lines, Tennyson reflects on the connection between the sea and himself. The sea breaks up on rocks much as the poet's thoughts seem to break up on his tongue before he can explain how he feels. This connection between the sea and the poet is reinforced by the fact that "Sea" rhymes with "me." In addition, the two lines about the sea and the two lines about the poet have the same three-beat rhythm. Tennyson could have directly stated how he felt by writing something like: "I wish I could tell you how rotten I feel today." By using poetry, however, Tennyson helped his readers both understand and feel how he felt.
