- An iamb, or iambus, is a metrical foot used in various types of poetry. This terminology was

adopted in the description of accentual-syllabic verse in English, where it refers to a foot

comprising an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable (as in a-bove).

Lo, thus I triumph like a king

-Half rhyme or slant rhyme is a type of rhyme formed by words with similar but not identical

sounds. In most instances, either the vowel segments are different while the consonants are

identical, or vice versa.

-Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds to create internal rhyming within phrases or

sentences, and together with alliteration and consonance serves as one of the building blocks of

verse. Assonance is a rhyme, the identity of which depends merely on the vowel sounds. Thus,

assonance is merely a syllabic resemblance.

on a proud round cloud in white high night

-Alliteration is the repetition of the same sounds or of the same kinds of sounds at the

beginning of words or in stressed syllables of an English language phrase. Alliteration

developed largely through poetry, in which it more narrowly refers to the repetition of

a consonant in any syllables that, according to the poem's meter, are stressed, as in James

Thomson's verse "Come…dragging the lazy languid Line along". Another example is, "Peter

Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers”. “Around the rock the ragged rascal ran”.

-Consonance is a poetic device characterized by the repetition of the same consonant two or

more times in short succession, as in "pitter patter" or in "all mammals named Sam are

clammy".

Consonance should not be confused with assonance, which is the repetition

of vowel sounds. Alliteration is a special case of consonance where the repeated consonant

sound is at the stressed syllable

Another special case of consonance is sibilance, the use of several sibilant sounds such as /s/

and /sh/. An example is the verse from Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven: "And the silken sad

uncertain rustling of each purple curtain." (This example also contains assonance around the

"ur" sound.) Another example of consonance is the word "sibilance" itself.

Consonance is an element of half-rhyme poetic format, sometimes called "slant rhyme."

-Lyric poems typically express personal (often emotional) feelings and are traditionally spoken

in the present tense.

- Anaphora is a rhetorical device that consists of repeating a sequence of words at the

beginnings of neighboring clauses, thereby lending them emphasis.

In time the savage bull sustains the yoke,

In time all haggard hawks will stoop to lure,

In time small wedges cleave the hardest oak,

In time the flint is pierced with softest shower.

-A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes a subject by asserting that it is, on some point

of comparison, the same as another otherwise unrelated object. Metaphor is a type

Metaphor is a type

of analogy and is closely related to other rhetorical figures of speech that achieve their effects via association, comparison or resemblance including allegory, hyperbole, and simile All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances;

A simile is a rhetorical figure expressing comparison or likeness that directly compares two objects through some connective word such as like, as, so, than, or a verb such as resembles. El Símil (o Comparación ) es una Figura Retórica que consiste en comparar un término real con otro imaginario que se le asemeje en alguna cualidad. Su estructura contiene los adverbios " como ", " cual " o similares. Un Símil al quitarle su estructura de comparación, se transforma en Metáfora : Sus manos son suaves como el terciopelo ( Símil ) → Sus manos de terciopelo ( Metáfora ).
Allegory is a poem in which the characters or descriptions convey a hidden symbolic or moral message. For example, the various knights in The Faerie Queene by Edmund Spenser are allegorical representations of virtues such as truth, friendship and justice. An allegory is a whole world of symbols. Within a narrative form, which can be either in prose or verse, an allegory tells a story that can be read symbolically. Allegories thus reinforce symbolic meaning, but can also be appreciated as good stories regardless of their allegorical meaning.
Hyperbole is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. It may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create a strong impression, but is not meant to be taken literally. Hyperboles are exaggerations to create emphasis or effect.

-An analogy is a comparison in which an idea or a thing is compared to another thing that is quite different from it. It aims at explaining that idea or thing by comparing it to something that is familiar. Metaphors and similes are tools used to draw an analogy. “Structure of an atom is like a solar system. Nucleus is the sun and electrons are the planets revolving around their sun.” Here an atomic structure is compared to a solar system by using “like”. Therefore, it is a simile. Metaphor is used to relate the nucleus to the sun and the electrons to the planets without using words “like” or “as’. Hence, similes and metaphors are employed to develop an analogy. -Metonymy a figure of speech in which a thing or concept is called not by its own name but rather by the name of something associated in meaning with that thing or concept. One famous example of metonymy is the saying, "The pen is mightier than the sword" which originally came from Edward Bulwer Lytton's play Richelieu. This sentence has two examples of metonymy:

The "pen" stands in for "the written word." The "sword" stands in for "military aggression and force."

Pathos is part of a poem or other work of art which makes the reader or audience feel sorrow or pity. The Greek word pathos means 'suffering'.Pathos is a key skill for any writer, and a highly effective feature of many poems, often in those cases where it is somewhat restrained or understated.
