Once upon a time, in a land faraway, lived a Prince
who wanted to seize the day.
Clip clop went the horse’s hooves on the ground and through the
forest he galloped around.
On his head he wore a crown, and round his body was a
red royal gown.
He just didn’t have the time to sort his hair, he
could find a Princess but he thought this was rare
In true love he had never believed, but surely someday
it would be achieved.
Sound symbolism: Lexical onomatopoeia: ‘clip clop’ – helps to create a more vivid image and
it provides a lot of emphasis. It makes the paragraph seem more expressive
Foregrounding sounds: alliteration (consonance): ‘horse’s hooves’ – focuses the reader’s attention to
this particular line. It helps with the rhythm of the poem and also creates
mood.
Sibilance: ‘surely
someday’ – creates a soft tone to the paragraph and as it’s towards the end of
the passage, it concludes the sense of atmosphere and feeling.
Liaison: ‘he
just’ becomes ‘he juss’ – it helps the words run together more smoothly and
avoids a hiatus between the words.
