Sound/Rime

I learned so much in this weeks reading. I especially enjoyed chapter fifteen. I had no idea there was so much to poetry, a lot of people think poetry is just rhyming a couple of words together in a line. Poetry does not only not have to rhyme, but when it does there are several different types of ways to rhyme. Before this week to me a ryhme was just a rhyme. after reading this chapter I now realize this is not the case, for example there are masculine ryhme, or feminine rimes it and which is which all depends on the amount of syllables in the ryhming words. In the chapter a great example of a poem with different types of ryhming is God's Gradeur. This poem has many different ryhmes throughout the line, and through these words of ryhming develps the sound of the poem. The book compares poetry to that of an orchestra piece, it appeals to the ear. I loved this quote at the beginning of the chapter because it shows just how important the choice of words is. The choice of words builds the sound of a poem, which in return draws a readers attention.
