8. The Difference Between a Masculine
and a Feminine Rhyme
A masculine rhyme occurs when a single syllable at
the end of the word, which is stressed rhymes.
A feminine rhyme matches two or more syllables, with
the last syllables being unstressed.

9. RHYTHM
The word rhythm is derived from
rhythmos (Greek) which
means, “measured motion”.
Rhythm is a literary device
that demonstrates the long
and short pattern thourgh
stressed and unstressed
syllables, particularly in verse
form.
METER
The meter is the pattern of beats
in a line of poetry. It is a
combination of the number of
beats and arrangement of
stresses. Meter functions as a
means of imposing a specific
number of syllables and
emphasis when it comes to a
line of poetry that adds to its
musicality.
The Intrinsic of Poetry

10. English poetry makes yse of five important rhythms. These rhythms are
of different patterns of stressed (/) and unstressed (x) syllables.
Each unit of these type is called foot. Here are the five types of
rhythm:
- Lamb (x /)
This is the most commonly used rhythm. It consists of two syllables, the first of which is not
stressed while the second syllable is stressed. Such as:
“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” (sonnet 18, by William Shakespeare)
- Trochee (/ x)
A trochee is a type of poetic foot commonly used in English poetry. It has two syllables, the
first of which is strongly stressed, while the second syllable is unstressed, as given below:
“Tell me not, in mournful numbers” (Psalm of life, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
- Spondee (/ /)
Spondee is a poectic foot that has two syllables, which are consecutively stressed.
For example: “White founts falling in the courts of the sun” (Lepanto, by G.K. Chesterton)
- Dactyl (/ x x)
Dactyl is made up of three syllables. The first syllable is stressed, and the remaining two
syllables are not stressed, such as in the word “marvelous.”
For example: “This is the forest primeval. The murmuring pines and the hemlocks.”
(Evangeline, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
- Anapest (x x /)
Anapest are total opposites of dactyls. They hace three syllables; where the first two syllables
are not stressed, and the last syllables is stressed.
For example: “Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house” (Twas the Night
Before Christmas, by Clement Clarke Moore)
Types of Meter:
- Trochee: stressed syllable followed
by unstressed syllable, as in
“custom”
- Lamb: unstressed syllable followed
by stressed syllable, as in “describe”
- Spondee: equal stress for both
syllables, as in “cupcake”
- Dactyl: stressed syllable, followed by
two unstressed syllables, as in
“bicycle”
- Anapest: two unstressed syllables,
followed by a stressed syllable, as in
“understand”
Explore Rhythm and Meter

11. Rhythm is the pattern of stresses that occurs at a
regular place. It is an overall rhythm that runs
throughout the poem. However, as a meter, it means
the specific pattern of stressed and unstressed
syllables in a poem. The minor difference is that
whereas a meter is a specific pattern rhythm is a
general poetic rhythm that runs in almost all the
poems, encompassing all the metrical patterns.

Meter

12. MESSAGE
Message is the thing that encourages poets to
create poetry. The message can be found after
knowing the meaning of poetry. Message or
advice is captured by readers as the impression
after reading the poem. How the reader to
conclude message poetry is closely related to the
point of view of the reader toward something.
The Intrinsic of Poetry

13. EXTRINSIC
ELEMENT
Extrinsic elements of poetry is a supporting element of poetry that comes
from outside the work of poetry created. Extrinsic elements of poetry was
instrumental in the analysis of a poem. Without using the approach on the
extrinsic elements of the poem, analysts will have difficulty in determining
the reason and purpose of a poem is created. Even understanding the
meaning of a poem can be shifted from what was intended by the author,
if the poem is analyzed in the extrinsic elements only.

political, social, customs, culture, and others
