Music is Poetry; Poetry is Music - Blog Post #1

Poetry is all around us! Whether it's a nursery rhyme we learned, a children's book we read when we were young, or a few beautiful lines spoken by our favorite character in a movie or TV show (hello, Grey's Anatomy!), we encounter poetry on a daily basis. Perhaps one of the most frequent run-ins with poetry we experience is listening to music. For this assignment, think of a song whose lyrics really made you feel something. Copy the lyrics down as a comment and identify the sound devices used by the artist in the song. This can be done by either writing out the song lyrics and the devices you identify, or by creating a Google Doc using various colors, underlining, etc. with a key and linking the Doc in your comment. Below is my example.

REQUIREMENTS
1) The song lyrics must be school appropriate
2) You must use at least two verses of the song
3) You must identify at least three sound devices
4) For one of the sound devices identified, write a sentence or two explaining how it adds to the meaning or mood of the song

    1. This looks like a great start! However, there isn't a key included so I can't easily tell which sound devices you're identifying. I've gathered that the letters in blue are alliteration, that looks good. Remember, though, that alliteration is repetition of consonant sounds. A couple of your examples are vowels-- identifying them could be another device, though! Very nice commentary at the end, you thought about that well. Include a key so I can comment on the rest please.

  4. Poem Song Lyrics

    Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
    I'm begging of you please don't take my man.
    Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
    Please don't take him just because you can.

    Your beauty is beyond compare,
    With flaming locks of auburn hair,
    With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green.

    Your smile is like a breath of spring,
    Your voice is soft like summer rain,
    And I cannot compete with you, Jolene.

    Repetition - Underline
    Alliteration - Bold
    Assonance - Highlight

    1. I love Wicked!! I've seen it twice, nice song choice. "Blithe smile" is a perfect example of assonance, nice work. But what about the "i" sound in limb? Think about how that sounds. Also keep in mind that the repetition of initial consonant sounds is alliteration. Rhyme and repetition are spot on, you chose a repeating phrase that is used for a purpose. Excellent commentary.

    1. You need to include at least two stanzas of the song and identify three sound devices. This could work for your explanation if you expanded on this.

    1. Wow! You really went above and beyond! Great job at identifying assonance, you have a really good grasp of it. Remember that alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds, not letters. Do the words "that" and "time" have the same sound? Everything else looks great. Your explanation shows some critical thinking about the lyrics.

    1. Nice work! Great job with the assonance, you clearly have a good grasp of what it is. You even included the meter for a few lines. Your explanation is not wrong, flow and rhythm are often the reasons for including many of the sound devices but here's some food for thought-- what about meter? Are there certain lines that obviously stick out? What would be the purpose of that? Just some things to think about!

    1. Great work Melissa! You have chosen excellent examples of sound devices, but take a look at your internal rhyme. Do those all words have the exact same endings? There's another term we talked about that also uses same vowel sounds like internal rhyme but the endings aren't quite the same. Very nice explanation at the end, you understand how the device works within the song for a purpose.
