Onomatopoeia
Onomatopoeia is defined as a word, which imitates the natural
sounds of a thing. It creates a sound effect that mimics the thing
described, making the description more expressive and
interesting. For instance, saying, The gushing stream flows in the
forest is a more meaningful description than just saying, The
stream flows in the forest. The reader is drawn to hear the sound
of a gushing stream which makes the expression more effective.
In addition to the sound they represent, many onomatopoeic
words have developed meanings of their own. For example,
whisper not only represents the sound of people talking quietly,
but also describes the action of people talking quietly.

Poetry
is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and rhythmic[1][2][3] qualities
of languagesuch as phonaesthetics,sound symbolism, and metreto evoke
meanings in addition to, or in place of, the prosaic ostensible meaning.
Poetry has a long history, dating back to the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh.
Early poems evolved from folk songs such as the Chinese Shijing, or
from a need to retell oral epics, as with
the Sanskrit Vedas, Zoroastrian Gathas, and the Homericepics, the Iliad and
the Odyssey. Ancient attempts to define poetry, such
as Aristotle's Poetics, focused on the uses
ofspeech in rhetoric, drama, song and comedy. Later attempts
concentrated on features such as repetition, verse form and rhyme, and
emphasized the aesthetics which distinguish poetry from more
objectively informative, prosaic forms of writing. From the mid-20th
century, poetry has sometimes been more generally regarded as a
fundamental creative act employing language.

Poetry uses forms and conventions to suggest differential


interpretation to words, or to evoke emotive responses. Devices such
as assonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia and rhythm are sometimes used to
achieve musical orincantatory effects. The use
of ambiguity, symbolism, irony and other stylistic elements of poetic
diction often leaves a poem open to multiple interpretations. Similarly
figures of speech such as metaphor, simile and metonymy[4] create a
resonance between otherwise disparate imagesa layering of
meanings, forming connections previously not perceived. Kindred
forms of resonance may exist, between individual verses, in their
patterns of rhyme or rhythm.
Some poetry types are specific to particular cultures and genres and
respond to characteristics of the language in which the poet writes.
Readers accustomed to identifying poetry
with Dante, Goethe, Mickiewicz and Rumi may think of it as written
in lines based on rhyme and regular meter; there are, however, traditions,
such as Biblical poetry, that use other means to create rhythm
and euphony. Much modern poetry reflects a critique of poetic tradition,
[5]
playing with and testing, among other things, the principle of
euphony itself, sometimes altogether forgoing rhyme or set rhythm. [6]
[7]
In today's increasingly globalized world, poets often adapt forms,
styles and techniques from diverse cultures and languages.

alliteration

the repetition of the same starting sound in several words of a sente


nce. Probably themost powerful rhythmic and thematic uses of allite
ration are contained in Beowulf, written in Anglo-Saxon and one of t
heearliest English poems extant.
Assonance- is the repetition of vowel sounds to create
internal rhyming within phrases or sentences, and together
with alliteration and consonance[1] serves as one of the building
blocks of verse. Assonance does not have to be a rhyme; the identity
of which depends merely on sequence of both vowel and consonant
sounds. Thus, assonance is a resemblance of units that are generally
less than a syllable.

Consonance -Consonance

refers to repetitive sounds produced


by consonants within a sentence or phrase. This repetition often
takes place in quick succession such as in pitter, patter. It is
classified as a literary term used in both poetry as well as prose.

For instance, the words chuckle, fickle, and kick are


consonant with one and other due to the existence of
common interior consonant sounds (/ck/).
The literary device of consonance is inherently different
from assonance which involves therepetition of similar vowel
sounds within a word, sentence, or phrase. Another distinction to
be appreciated is that of between consonance and rhyme. In the
case of rhyme, consonant sounds can be present at the
beginning, middle, or end of several successive words, rather
than merely at the ends of words. Further, the device of
consonance needs to be distinguished from alliteration.
In contrast to alliteration, consonance involves repetition of
consonant sounds only.
