sounds of poetry

The meter and rhyme scheme truly depict the image of the poem. The imagery and alliteration within the poem gives it a character and defines it. The sounds of poetry play a huge role when dissecting the poem because ultimately they are essential to the poem. The rhyme scheme also will dictate how the reader sees the poem. In Prufrock or Marvells' poems we use the sounds of imagery to tell what kind of poem it is.
