Riddle: A hoard of rings am I,

          but no fit gift for a bride;

          I await a sword's kiss.

 

  Answer: A suit of chain-mail.

 

&nbsp; <strong><span style="color: #008000;" _mce_style="color: #008000;">Riddle: I am the black cloak of the road.</span></strong>
&nbsp; Answer: Asphalt

 

Riddle: Hard iron on horse / cow's hide on man.
&nbsp; Answer: Shoe

 

Riddle: I drink the blood of the Earth,
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; and the trees fear my roar,
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; yet a man may hold me in his hands.
&nbsp; Answer: A chainsaw

The blood of the Earth, of course, is petroleum. This phrase is a good example of what Viking poets called a kenning, a poetic and indirect description of some simple thing or event — a riddle within the riddle-poem.

Imagery- Descriptive language that appeals to the senses and gives the reader “pictures in their mind”

 

Simile- Comparing two unlike things, usually using the words like or as. Example: The sky was black as tar. Metaphor - A comparison between two unlike things without using like or as to connect the comparison. You actually say one thing is the other. Example: The road was a ribbon of moonlight.

 

Alliteration - Repeated consonant sounds at the beginning of words or within words. Alliteration is used to create a rhythm, establish mood, call attention to words, or point out similarities and contrasts. Example: wide-eyed and wondering we wait for others to wake up.

 

Personification - giving the qualities of a person to an animal, an object, or an idea. It is a comparison to show something in a new way or make a strong statement about it. Example: The pencil danced across the page.

 

Onomatopoeia – when certain words are used that make a sound - words made up to represent the way a sound really sounds. Example: Thunk! BAM! Read the poem “Flint” by Christina Rossetti. This poem is a good example of a poem that uses simile to great effect.

 

 

 

 

Acrostic - a poem that arranges the first letters of each line to form a word when viewed vertically. The word is often the subject of the poem. Example: Makes dinner for us, Open, caring, loving, My favorite person in the world.

 

Alphabet poem- each line begins with one letter of the alphabet, in order.

 

Ballad - a poem that tells a narrative story similar to a folk tale or legend, or an event in history. Ballads often have a repeated refrain. Ballads are often set to music. Pop and rock musicians today often write and record ballads. Example: “John Henry,” “Casey Jones.”

 

Blank verse – a poem written in unrhymed iambic pentameter (the meter often used by Shakespeare in his plays), which has the rhythm of spoken language
