constructs the meaning of their poem. One literary device that is heavily used in poems are rhyme scheme. Rhyme scheme is used to analyze the ending of each line, and checking if the word rhymes with the next ending line word.

On the other hand, Wilfred Owen “Dulce et Decorum Est” had a different rhyme scheme concept. This could be because of the writing style of the poem, and how it flows with
main character in a loving sought after way. He does this by using multiple literary tools throughout the poem. Poe shows Annabel Lee in an affectionate way to show the audience that love never fades even after the death. Poe uses a different rhyme scheme throughout the poem to add a sort of rise and fall for the audience to give them different feelings about the poem. Whether it's sympathism or sadness. He is able to do this by changing the pattern because in turn it changes the reader's emotions

However, it could be argued that the ending rhyme being the second rhyme suggests that the narrator is unwilling to fully let go of the less

Shakespeare uses the change in rhyme scheme as an ironic surprise in the
sonnet, although it has a rhyme scheme similar to a Shakespearean, which allows him to display a contrast between the images the The similar rhyme schemes of the two sonnets allow for clear organization of the speaker’s ideas and support these ideas through comparison and connection.

Deacon, and Brian May; performed by the band “Queen”. The song has poetic merit because of three main points; being end rhymes, couplets, and oxymorons, among with other poetic elements.

Summary In my creative piece, “There’s A Monster In My Bed. Don’t You See? Don’t You See?” illustrates an animal story in the form of a poem with 26 stanzas and each stanza consisting of 4 lines. The focus of my poem comes from the influence of Beatrix Potter’s The Tale of Peter Rabbit and Dr. Seuss’s The Cat in the Hat.
