arranged phonetically, to use the scientific word The arrangement of rhyming sounds in the present volume is wholly phonetic The introductory study of versification is so complete, that the book will answer almost every question on technique that any wouldbe poet or versifier desires to have answered Moreover, it provides models for the most intricate forms of poetry and versification that English-speaking poets use Following a model is at best finger exercise But finger exercise must precede mastery of the keyboard The phonetic devices in the volume are simplified from the leading standard dictionaries, by eliminating in general all phonetic signs except those placed above the accented or rhyming syllable Once these simple phonetic devices are understood and absorbed, poets and versifiers will begin to think accurately, scientifically and phonetically about rhymes and rhyming The technique of rhyming will become as automatic as the technique of walking: and the poetic energy will be proportionately released for the more effective creation of poetry CLEMENT WOOD Bozenkill www.Ebook777.com CONTENTS THE POET'S CRAFT BOOK I POETRY AND VERSIFICATION Poetry and Verse, Poetry in Human Affairs, The Poet's Equipment, Poetic Greatness, How Poems Come, Originality in Poetry, II T H E TECHNIQUE OF VERSIFICATION: RHYTHM Accent and Rhythm, Meter and Metric Feet, 11 Iambic Verse, 13 Trochaic Verse, 16 Anapestic Verse, 18 Dactylic Verse, 19 Variations in Metric Verse, 20 Accent Pattern Instead of Metric, 22 Blank Verse and Free Verse, 23 Line Length in Verse, 25 Important Classical Terms for Poetic Devices, 26 III T H E TECHNIQUE OF VERSIFICATION: RHYME 29 Correct and Incorrect Rhyme, 29 Function and Types of Rhyme, 33 Undesirable Rhymes, 36 Alliteration, 37 Assonance, 38 Consonance, 38 Your Mental Rhyming Dictionary, 40 IV STANZA-PATTERNS 44 The Couplet, 44 The Triplet or Tercet, 45 The Quatrain, 46 ix Stanzas of More Than Four Lines, 48 Certain Other Stanzas, 50 Sapphics and Other Classic Forms, 53 Indentation, 56 DIVISIONS OF POETRY 59 Narrative Poetry: Epic, Metrical Romance, Tale, Ballad, 59 Dramatic Poetry, 62 Lyric Poetry: Ode, Elegy, Pastoral, 62 The Simple Lyric: The Song, 64 The Sonnet, 65 THE FRENCH FORMS, LIGHT AND HUMOROUS VERSE 70 Formal and Light Verse, 70 Rules of the Fixed Verse Forms, 72 The Ballade Family, 72 Chain Verse, 79 The Kyrielle, 80 The Pantoum, 80 The Triolet, 81 The Rondel, Rondeau and Roundel Family, 83 The Sestina, 89 The Villanelle, 92 The Lai and the Virelai, 93 The Limerick, 95 Little Willies, 98 Light Verse in English, 99 POETRY AND TECHNIQUE 103 The Vocabulary of Poetry, 103 On Translating Poetry, 108 Exercises in Versification, 111 THE COMPLETE RHYMING DICTIONARY What Rhyme Is, 112 The Vowel Sounds, 112 x , 112 The Consonant Sounds, 114 Sound Does Not Depend on Spelling, 115 This Dictionary Makes Consonance Accurate, 116 THE DICTIONARY OF RHYMING WORDS I MONOSYLLABLES AND WORDS ACCENTED ON THE LAST SYLLABLE: MASCULINE RHYMES: SINGLE RHYMES Accented Accented Accented Accented Accented 121 Vowel A Sounds, 121 Vowel E Sounds, 164 Vowel I Sounds, 209 Vowel O Sounds, 247 Vowel U Sounds, 280 II WORDS ACCENTED ON THE SYLLABLE BEFORE THE LAST: PENULTS;
