Alliteration

beginning consonant sound within a

line in a poem.

Heres an example


18/81

Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would

Not Take The Garbage Out

Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout would not take

the garbage out!

She'd scour the pots and scrape the pans,Candy the yams and spice the hams,

And though her daddy would scream and

shout,She simply would not take the garbage

out.


19/81

And so it piled up to the ceilings:

Coffee grounds, potato peelings,

Brown bananas, rotten peas,

Chunks of sour cottage cheese.It filled the can, it covered the floor,

It cracked the window and blocked the

door


20/81


21/81

The garbage rolled on down the hall,It raised the roof, it broke the wall...

Greasy napkins, cookie crumbs,Globs of gooey bubble gum,Cellophane from green baloney,Rubbery blubbery macaroni,

Peanut butter, caked and dry,Curdled milk and crusts of pie,Moldy melons, dried-up mustard,

Eggshells mixed with lemon custard,Cold french fries and rancid meat,Yellow lumps of Cream of Wheat.

At last the garbage reached so high


22/81

At last the garbage reached so highThat finally it touched the sky.

And all the neighbors moved away,And none of her friends would come to play.And finally Sarah Cynthia Stout said,"OK, I'll take the garbage out!"But then, of course, it was too late...The garbage reached across the state,

From New York to the Golden Gate.And there, in the garbage she did hate,Poor Sarah met an awful fate,That I cannot right now relate

Because the hour is much too late.But children, remember Sarah Stout

And always take the garbage out!

-Shel Silverstein

The Highwayman

By Alfred Noyes

(The poem can also be found

in your textbook and in yourworkbook)

Highwayman


32/81

thief

Highwayman

rogue

scoundrel

One who

robs others

on the

highway orroad


33/81

The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty

trees,

The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy

seas,

The road was a ribbon of moonlight, over the purplemoor,

And the highwayman came riding-

Riding-riding-

The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door


34/81

He'd a French cocked-hat on his

forehead, a bunch of lace at his chin,

A coat of the claret velvet, and breechesof brown doe-skin;

They fitted with never a wrinkle: his

boots were up to the thigh.

And he rode with a jeweled twinkle,His pistol butts a-twinkle,

His rapier hilt a-twinkle, under the

jeweled sky.


35/81

Over the cobbles he clattered and

clashed in the dark inn-yard,

He tapped with his whip on the

shutters, but all was locked andbarred;

He whistled a tune to the window,

and who should be waiting there

But the landlord's black-eyeddaughter,

Bess, the landlord's daughter,

Plaiting a dark red love-knot into

her long black hair.


36/81

And dark in the dark old inn-yard a

stable-wicket creaked

Where Tim the ostler listened; his

face was white and peaked;

His eyes were hollows of madness,

his hair like moldy hay,But he loved the landlord's

daughter,

The landlord's red-lipped daughter,

Dumb as a dog he listened, and heheard the robber say--

One kiss, my bonny sweetheart,I'm after a prize tonight,

But I shall be back with the yellow

gold before the morning light;

Yet, if they press me sharply, andharry me through the day,

Then look for me by moonlight,

Watch for me by moonlight,

I'll come to thee by moonlight,

though hell should bar the way."

He rose upright in the stirrups; he scarce could reach

her hand,

But she loosened her hair in the casement. His face

burnt like a brand

As the black cascade of perfume came tumbling over

his breast;And he kissed its waves in the moonlight,

(Oh, sweet black waves in the moonlight!)

Then he tugged at his rein in the moonlight, and

galloped away to the West.

He did not come in the dawning; he did not come at noon;

And out of the tawny sunset, before the rise of the moon,When the road was a gypsy's ribbon, looping the purple moor,

A red-coat troop came marching--

Marching--marching--

King George's men came marching, up to the old inn-door.

They said no word to the landlord, they

drank his ale instead,

But they gagged his daughter and

bound her to the foot of her narrow bed;Two of them knelt at her casement, with

muskets at their side.

There was death at every window;

And hell at one dark window;

For Bess could see, through her

casement, the road that he would ride.


41/81

They had tied her up to attention, with

many a sniggering jest.

They had bound a musket beside her,

with the barrel beneath her breast.

"Now keep good watch!" and theykissed her. She heard the doomed man

say--

Look for me by moonlight;

Watch for me by moonlight;I'll come to thee by moonlight, though

hell should bar the way!

43/81

The tip of one finger touched it. She strove no more for the

rest.Up, she stood up to attention, with the muzzle beneath her

breast.

She would not risk their hearing; she would not strive again;

For the road lay bare in the moonlight;

Blank and bare in the moonlight;

And the blood of her veins, in the moonlight, throbbed to her

love's refrain.


44/81

Tlot-tlot; tlot-tlot! Had they heard it? The horse-

hoofs ringing clear;Tlot-tlot, tlot-tlot, in the distance? Were they

deaf that they did not hear?

Down the ribbon of moonlight, over the brow of

the hill,The highwayman came riding,

Riding, riding!

The red-coats looked to their priming! She

stood up, straight and still!


45/81

Tlot-tlot, in the frosty silence! Tlot-tlot, in the

echoing night!

Nearer he came and nearer! Her face waslike a light!

Her eyes grew wide for a moment; she drew

one last deep breath,

Then her finger moved in the moonlight,Her musket shattered the moonlight,

Shattered her breast in the moonlight and

warned him--with her death.


46/81

He turned; he spurred to the west; he

did not know who stoodBowed, with her head o'er the

musket, drenched with her own red

blood.

Not till the dawn he heard it, his face

grew gray to hear

How Bess, the landlord's daughter,

The landlord's black-eyed daughter,

Had watched for her love in the

moonlight, and died in the darknessthere.


47/81

Back, he spurred like a madman,

shouting a curse to the sky,With the white road smoking behind

him and his rapier brandished high!

Blood-red were his spurs in the golden

noon; wine-red was his velvet coat,When they shot him down on the

highway,

Down like a dog on the highway,

And he lay in his blood on the

highway, with the bunch of lace at his

throat.


48/81

And still of a winter's night, they say, when the wind is inthe trees,

When the moon is a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy

seas,

When the road is a ribbon of moonlight over the purplemoor,

A highwayman comes riding--

Riding--riding--

A highwayman comes riding, up to the old inn-door.


49/81

Over the cobbles he clatters and

clangs in the dark inn-yard;He taps with his whip on the

shutters, but all is locked and

barred;

He whistles a tune to the window,

and who should be waiting there

But the landlord's black-eyed

daughter,

Bess, the landlord's daughter,

Plaiting a dark red love-knot into herlong black hair.


50/81

Another Narrative Poem

Example: The Charge of the Light Brigade(featured in the movie The Blind Side)

Half a league, half a league,Half a league onward,

All in the valley of DeathRode the six hundred.

'Forward, the Light Brigade!Charge for the guns' he said:Into the valley of DeathRode the six hundred.

'Forward, the Light Brigade!'Was there a man dismay'd?Not tho' the soldiers knewSome one had blunder'd:

Theirs not to make reply,Theirs not to reason why,Theirs but to do and die:Into the valley of DeathRode the six hundred.

Cannon to right of them,

Cannon to left of them,Cannon in front of themVolley'd and thunder'd;

Storm'd at with shot and shell,Boldly they rode and well,Into the jaws of Death,Into the mouth of HellRode the six hundred.

Flash'd all their sabres bare,Flash'd as they turned in airSabring the gunners there,Charging an army whileAll the world wonder'd:Plunged in the battery-smokeRight thro' the line they broke;Cossack and RussianReel'd from the sabre-strokeShatter'd and sunder'd.Then they rode back, but not

Not the six hundred.Cannon to right of them,Cannon to left of them,Cannon behind themVolley'd and thunder'd;

Storm'd at with shot and shell,While horse and hero fell,They that had fought so wellCame thro' the jaws of Death,Back from the mouth of Hell,

All that was left of them,Left of six hundred.

When can their glory fade?O the wild charge they made!All the world wonder'd.Honour the charge they made!Honour the Light Brigade,Noble six hundred!

Casey at the Bat

From the benches, black with people, there arose a muffled roar,

Like the beating of the storm-waves on some stern and distant shore."Kill him! Kill the umpire!" shouted someone in the stand,

And it's likely they'd have killed him had not Casey raised his hand.

SONNETS!!

Part 1: Lets look at amodern version of the

Shakespearean

sonnet....

Example: What My

Lips Have Kissed,

And Where And

Why," amodernsonnet by Edna St.

Vincent Millay

Pre-Readingquestions:

Have you ever loved

and lost? How do you

feel about the

possibility of loving

again after a failed

relationship?

What my lips have kissed and


75/81

What my lips have kissed, and

where, and why...

What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why,I have forgotten, and what arms have lainUnder my head till morning; but the rain

Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sighUpon the glass and listen for reply;

And in my heart there stirs a quiet painFor unremembered lads that not againWill turn to me at midnight with a cry.

Thus in the winter stands a lonely tree,Nor knows what birds have vanished one by one,

Yet know its boughs more silent than before:

I cannot say what loves have come and gone;I only know that summer sang in me

A little while, that in me sings no more.


76/81

Okay, whats next?

Now, we need to read italoud...

What is the tone of thepoem? Is Millay wistful,revengeful, coy or angry?

Which words and images

support your opinionsabout the writers state ofmind?

Can you relate to a poemin which the poet seems

to be older than they areand thinking back to atime when she hadformer loves?

Sonnet 116

Let me not to the marriage of true mindsAdmit impediments. Love is not loveWhich alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove:O no! it is an ever-fixed mark

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;It is the star to every wandering bark,

Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

Within his bending sickle's compass come:Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
