Rhyme is an important formative element in verse and its special sound beauty. In addition, the sounds of speech themselves play an important role in the poem, for example, to depict some sound phenomenon in life and nature. There are even special (onomatopoeic) words that either literally imitate the natural phenomena they denote by sounds, or express them conditionally. The first group includes such words as, for example, buzz, whistle, whistle, crunch, crunch, howl, howl, etc. The second group includes conditional ones, for example: ah! Alas! Oh oh oh! ouch! Oh! ha, ha, ha! hee, hee! ding, ding, ding! etc., similar to exclamations issued by people on appropriate occasions, or to the sounds of known objects.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        But, in addition to special words and by combining ordinary ones, such combinations of sounds can be obtained that more or less closely express any natural sounds.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Of course, in verse it is necessary to avoid ugly, any whistling, hissing, etc. consonances. It would be strange if a verse declaring love were built on a whistle or a buzz, or a poem depicting evening calm would be full of growling sounds. When this is done by accident, through an oversight, then this is a mistake in the verse. But sometimes a "mistake" can be - under special conditions and with a special plan - turned, on the contrary, into a virtue. Some ugly and unacceptable combinations of sounds in a verse can sometimes be used as a special artistic device. This is the case with onomatopoeia . It is often found in high poetry, for example:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        1) In the sounds of verse - Alexander Sumarokov's frogs croak like this:

In this case, rhymes consist of two or more words. At one time, Dmitry Minaev was famous for such rhymes:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Though the odor of your poems is strong,
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        But the general oblivion is their fate.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Of course, both with onomatopoeia and with the game of rhymes, the poem must be constructed in such a way that the connection in rhymes is interesting, and the meaning can be comical.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Often poets create verses of the so-called enigmatic form : acrostic, mesostich, tautogram and others.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The listed techniques are poetic tricks. However, there are more complex poetic tricks, where the whole hidden essence of the poem is based on the special construction of the verse and even the whole poem. Such poetic constructions include hidden verses (crypt verses, or piecewise verses) and palindromes.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The crypt verses (from the Greek "crypto" - I hide) are extremely difficult to perform. These are peculiar mysterious poems, which are an interesting form of poetic cryptography. In them, one must immediately embrace the entire given verse and both of its halves with consciousness. Thought spreads both horizontally and vertically, and care must be taken that, on the whole, its insidious parts are completely invisible at first sight, so that the whole poem has its own integral meaning, and each of its parts, both left and right, would have its own meaning.

But this man is more wise in life: he is a skeptic.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        In our fast-paced age, idealism is rare. A skeptic takes a love letter, reads it, wants to congratulate his friend, and suddenly ... something catches his eye. Something strange ... "Wait a minute, wait a minute," he says, and, to the horror of his interlocutor, without changing a word in the poem, reads:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Keep lovingly "yes"

It is a phrase or verse based not on a vertical reading, but on a horizontal one. They are read the same and with the same meaning on both sides; there are two kinds of them.

This is the so-called letter palindrome. FROM many people know him:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Unfortunately, not every such palindrome is endowed with a meaning that does not require comments.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The second type of palindrome is more difficult to create, but also more interesting. It is a poem that is read from the beginning and from the end with the preservation of the same meaning, but not by letters, but by words. The first word of the poem will be its last word, the second - the penultimate, the third - the third from the end, etc. Each word of the poem, therefore, must occur twice in it. If we denote the words of the palindrome with the numbers 1, 2, 3, etc., then the scheme of a palindrome containing, for example, 8 different words, will be as follows:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        1 2 3 4

But such verses are also possible, the very essence of which depends on rhymes. These include monorim . In this form, the entire poem is built on one identical rhyme (reeds - breathe - silence - hurry - wilderness, etc.). Beautiful monotonous rhymes, repeated in greater numbers than in the ordinary number habitual for hearing (two or three), can create a truly artistic impression:

Such poems belong to subject form poetry . It originated in ancient Rome. And the examples of such poems, in their appearance along the framing contour, corresponded to what was described in them: an ax, an ax, wings, an egg, a goblet, a cross, a palm tree, a tower, a trapezoid, a pyramid.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The "secret" of subject poems lies in the exact distribution of poems of various length, determined by the contours of the chosen form. It is desirable that the content poems went in unison with the purpose or properties of the subject. For example, by about the appearance of this book, its author wrote a joke-prospect in the form of a garden vases. This advertising-joking poem, placed in a "vase", mentions some forms of poetry, which are described in the book (burime, "echo", logogriff etc.):

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Poets respond to all phenomena of life with verses and poems of any form and length.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        So, often in collections of poems you can find a poem with a sharp thought - epigram . In modern poetry, the word "epigram" denotes a mockingly satirical (sometimes - "poisonous") poem addressed to a certain person. The advantage of epigrams is the brevity of the verse and the accuracy of the "prick". We give examples of epigrams.

In connection with the death and burial of a person in poetry, there is a special form of poetry - epitaph , i.e. an inscription on a monument. Its content is praise for the deceased, reasoning, moralizing, addressing a passerby, etc. Often epitaphs are written from a person buried under a monument. So, at the Volkov cemetery in St. Petersburg there is an old monument, the poem on which begins with the words:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Passerby, you are coming,
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        But you lie down like me...

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        There are also humorous epitaphs. At the Okhtensky cemetery there was a monument erected after cholera in the 30s of the 19th century. The epitaph on it was:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        But let's get back to life.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        All poetic forms that we have considered require both time and labor for implementation. But there is one form that is created, or at least should be created almost instantly. This is impromptu .

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        This name is given to poems written immediately on occasion and very quickly, without preparation. Here is a wonderful impromptu of A. Pushkin, indignant at the fact that he was sent to work to conduct the "case of locusts." Piles of government papers could not have clarified this case better, as Pushkin found out with his inherent genius, writing the following on the cover of the "case":

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Locust flew, flew

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Parody is appreciated and loved by both readers and listeners.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The name of the parody comes from the Greek parados - singing inside out. Most likely, parody developed from satirical farces, which were given for the pleasure of the public in Ancient Hellas after the end of serious tragedies and where their content was often ridiculed.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The essence of parody (not to be confused with an epigram! - see above) is that the parodied serious work more or less retains its form, but the content is changed, which is why the thoughts and images of the main work, when applied to the new content, begin to acquire a comic shade. The main purpose of parody, of course, is mockery, although it is good-natured, but often parodies are of great benefit to the authors of serious works, pointing out to them some shortcomings or monotony of methods that they would not have noticed without parody.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        For parody, either a well-known author (at least for a given moment) or a well-known (at a given time) work of his is chosen, and the parody must constantly retain the techniques of the work of the parodied author so that he is immediately recognized by the parody, even if when his name is not given. To be offended by a parody is possible only with sick pride. Usually a talented parody glorifies the person being parodied even more and, in any case, cannot offend or humiliate a genuine talent.

And the last word in the second line of each rhyme was not completed. Find the right rhyme yourself. It's not difficult at all.
