Theme
an idea that recurs in or pervades a work of art or literature

Rhythm
refers to the way poets arrange stressed and unstressed
Syllables in lines of verse
 Meter
is a unit of rhythm in poetry, the pattern of the beats.
It is also called a foot. 

Example:
“BY the SHORES of GITche GUMee” (“The Song of Hiawatha”
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow) - Iambic Pentameter
Rhyme
is a popular literary device in which the repetition
of the same or similar sounds occurs in two or more words,
usually at the end of lines in poems or songs.

Example:
“Mary had a little lamb its fleece was white as snow;
And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go.
It followed her to school one day, which was against the rule;
It made the children laugh and play, to see a lamb at school.
And so the teacher turned it out, but still it lingered near,
And waited patiently about till Mary did appear.”
Stanza
is a grouped set of lines within a poem, usually set off
from other stanzas by a blank line or indentation.

Example:
Line
is a subdivision of a poem, specifically a group
of words arranged into a row that ends for a
reason other than the right-hand margin.

Example:
“Mary had a little lamb its fleece was white as snow;
And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go.
It followed her to school one day, which was against the rule;
It made the children laugh and play, to see a lamb at school.
And so the teacher turned it out, but still it lingered near,
And waited patiently about till Mary did appear.”
 Mood
is the feeling created by the poet for the reader. 

Example:
Mood in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Lewis Caroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has a whimsical, lighthearted, and often cheerful
mood.

Figures of Speech
