Marking Up A Poem
When you're analyzing a poem, you may want to know if it has a certain structure or not. Knowing the structure can give you a better understanding of what the author was trying to accomplish with what they wrote before you start to review. A good place to start is by determining whether the poem rhymes, and to see if it has a certain meter.
When you're attempting to determine the rhyme scheme, or the name of the poetic meter, then you're going to want to do something known as marking up a poem. There are three parts to marking up a poem: identifying the rhyme scheme, how many syllables are in a line, and what the stresses of those syllables are.
