Eleanor Wylie Poem Help please ?

Hello friends. hi alright i had a question about the poem “pretty words” by eleanor wiley. so here is the poem

Poets make pets of pretty, docile words:
I love smooth words, like gold-enameled fish
Which circle slowly with a silken swish,
And tender ones, like downy-feathered birds:
Words shy and dappled, deep-eyed deer in herds,
Come to my hand, and playful if I wish,
Or purring softly at a silver disk,
Blue Persian kittens, fed on cream and curds.

I love bright words, words up and singing early;
Words that are luminous in the dark, and sing;
Warm lazy words, white cattle under trees;
I love words opalescent, cool, and pearly,
Like midsummer moths, and honied words like bees,
Gilded and sticky, with a little sting.

what i need to know is how many stanzas that has, its rhyme scheme, the way it uses the five sense (for example “smooth” which is touch” like that and the personifications used in this poem and the alliteration. thank you in advance to everyone

Okay, I’ll get you started and then you do some of the work:

STANZA, STANZAIC
A division of a poem made by arranging the lines into units separated by a space, usually of a corresponding number of lines and a recurrent pattern of meter and rhyme. A poem with such divisions is described as having a stanzaic form, but not all verse is divided in stanzas.

In this poem there are two.

RHYME SCHEME
The pattern established by the arrangement of rhymes in a stanza or poem, generally described by using letters of the alphabet to denote the recurrence of rhyming lines, such as the ababbcc of the Rhyme Royal stanza form.

words – a
fish – b
swish – b
birds – a
herds – a
wish – b
disk – b
curds – a

early – c
sing – d
tress – e
pearly – c
bees – e
sting – d

IMAGERY, IMAGE
The elements in a literary work used to evoke mental images, not only of the visual sense, but of sensation and emotion as well. While most commonly used in reference to figurative language, imagery is a variable term which can apply to any and all components of a poem that evoke sensory experience and emotional response, whether figurative or literal, and also applies to the concrete things so imaged.

FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE
The use of words, phrases, symbols, and ideas in such as way as to evoke mental images and sense impressions. Figurative language is often characterized by the use of figures of speech, elaborate expressions, sound devices, and syntactic departures from the usual order of literal language.

So, you get to figure this one out.

PERSONA (pur-SOH-nuh)
The speaker or voice of a literary work, i.e., who is doing the talking. Thus persona is the “I” of a narrative or the implied speaker of a lyric poem.

Sidelight: Sometimes the author of a poem identifies a created character as the speaker– but in the absence of a specific attribution the term persona is applied in a neutral sense, since it should not be automatically assumed that a creative work directly reflects the personal experiences or views of the poet. The use of an identified persona precludes a potential ambiguity and enables poets to give expression to things they would prefer not to have attributed to their own person.

Sidelight: In Robert Browning’s “My Last Duchess,” the persona is the Duke of Ferrara. In John Keats’ “Ode to a Nightingale,” the persona is not identified, so it is up to the reader to infer whether it is the author himself or a speaker conceived by the poet for a particular effect.

Sidelight: The term, voice, while often used synonymously with speaker or persona, can also refer to a pervasive presence behind the fictitious voices that speak in a work, or to Aristotle’s “ethos,” the element in a work that creates a perception by the audience or reader of the moral qualities of the speaker or a character.
(Compare Content, Diction, Form, Motif, Style, Texture, Tone)

PERSONIFICATION
A type of metaphor in which distinctive human characteristics, e.g., honesty, emotion, volition, etc., are attributed to an animal, object, or idea, as “the haughty lion surveyed his realm” or “my car was happy to be washed” or “‘Fate frowned on his endeavors.” Personification is commonly used in allegory.

The poem is using words as animals:

Poets make pets of pretty, docile words:
I love smooth words, like gold-enameled fish

ALLITERATION
Also called head rhyme or initial rhyme, the repetition of the initial sounds (usually consonants) of stressed syllables in neighboring words or at short intervals within a line or passage, usually at word beginnings, as in “wild and woolly,” or the line from Shelley’s “The Cloud”:

I bear light shade for the leaves when laid

Sidelight: Alliteration has a gratifying effect on the sound, gives a reinforcement to stresses, and can also serve as a subtle connection or emphasis of key words in the line, but alliterated words should not “call attention” to themselves by strained usage.

In this you can also start to look at the alliterations with the “P” — Poets/pets/pretty, also the long o’s in this section are alliterative …

See it’s not that hard, you just need to know the terms and a few examples.

Have fun.
