86. oldal - The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold, And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold; And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea, When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee. Like the leaves of the forest when summer is green, That host with their banners at sunset were seen: Like the leaves of the forest when autumn hath blown, That host on the morrow lay withered and strown.
4. oldal - ... studied and self-conscious; what is specifically meant by the term varies greatly from critic to critic. There is little question, however, that the style of John Lyly is artificial and that the style of Burns is not; about writers like Donne and Hemingway, however, debate can and does rage. Assonance: Resemblance or similarity in sound between vowels followed by different consonants in two or more stressed syllables. Assonance differs from RIME in that RIME is a similarity of vowel and consonant....
5. oldal - ... sense units. For this reason, line divisions, unless they happen to coincide with sense pauses (whether indicated by punctuation or not), are often as unrelated to the rhetoric of poetic assertions as foot divisions. Lines are commonly classified according to their length in feet: monometer a line of 1 foot dimeter 2 feet trimeter 3 feet tetrameter 4 feet pentameter 5 feet hexameter 6 feet (see also ALEXANDRINE...
18. oldal - Metaphor — A figure of speech in which an expression is used to refer to something that it does not literally denote in order to suggest a similarity.

46. oldal - It bears hibiscuslike flowers and large, star-shaped leaves. The pod, harvested when young and tender, is a basic ingredient in gumbo. Okra, Abelmoschus esculentus, an annual plant belonging to the MALLOW family, Malvaceae, is grown for its edible capsule, or seedpod. In Creole cooking the vegetable is called gumbo and is used as an ingredient in creole soups and stews. Thought to be of African or Asian origin, okra was used by the Egyptians as early as the 12th century BC. A tropical plant, it grows...
86. oldal - ANAPEST. A metrical foot consisting of two unstressed syllables followed by one stressed syllable, for example: ASSONANCE. Refers to vowel sounds which are alike, as in / the words "cold" and "lonely," or "vain
116. oldal - free verse," open form poetry does not conform to established patterns of meter, rhyme, and stanza. Such poetry derives its rhythmic qualities from the repetition of words, phrases, or grammatical structures, the arrangement of words on the printed page, or by some other means. The poet EE Cummings wrote open form poetry; his poems do not have measurable meters, but they do have rhythm. What distinguishes open form poems is that they do not develop regular patterns with regard to lines, meter, rhythm...
121. oldal - The rhyme order proceeds abab; bcbc; and so on until the last stanza, which might be represented as zaza. The second and fourth lines of each stanza, except the last, are used as the first and third of the succeeding stanza. The first and third lines of the first stanza frequently become the fourth and second lines respectively of the concluding stanza, making the first and last lines of the poem identical. Because of its repetitious nature, the pantoum is so likely to be monotonous. To offset this...

Thought to be of African or Asian origin, okra was used by the Egyptians as early as the 12th century BC. A tropical plant, it grows best in warm temperatures, and, planted from seed, needs about 60 days of midsummer weather to produce a crop. In northern climates it is usually transplanted into the garden as a hothouse-grown seedling. Because the pods grow rapidly (they may reach lengths of 22-30...
6. oldal - In classical poetry, a metrical foot of four syllables, either two long syllables followed by two short syllables (greater Ionic) or two short syllables followed by two long syllables (lesser Ionic); also, a verse or meter composed of Ionic feet.
