Elements of Poetry

The poetic scheme of this poem I found very difficult. The plan was to combine three elements of poetry: Iambic pentameter, alliteration and assonance, following this precise sequence throughout the twelve verses and ending with an iambic pentameter couplet. The scheme is as follows: A=iambic pentameter B= alliteration C= assonance ABCABCABCABCAA The elements of poetry are vast. They are constituents of a composite entity. A poets usage depends whether he or she has need for verse necessitating scheme. In this poem my planned blueprint is to combine three of these contrasting elements together forming feet- unstressed and stressed and alliterative verse along with assonance in this specific order and compositional ordeal. This group of verse became triadic tools needless to say, needful contrivances for the success of the sequential scheme. The poems conclusion follows couplet rules: The dual verses, meter, rhyming tools.
