Sounds of Poetry

The sounds in poetry truly make the poem, and bring it to life. "Rhyme Scheme" is one of the most popular techniques and tools to use in poetry. It adds some spice, and a certain unique attitude to the poem. It also makes the poem more fun to read and it slips off the tongue as well. Each poem has their unique tools that they use. Another common tool is onomatopoeia. Examples of this tool are words like "Bang! Zap! Swoosh!". Words with sounds bring the poem to life as well. The language in the poem and the tools that the author uses are key to its uniqueness. Sounds and tools are key to a good poem, and one we haven't heard a billion times before.
