Sounds of poetry definitely allow for the true expression and tone in a poem through the structure of the diction. Literary devices such as: rhyme scheme, alliteration, caesura ect... all have different effects in the diction to alter perception. In " An Athlete Dying Young" A.E Housman the rhyme scheme of aabbcc allows for a more peppy, up-beat tone. Other devices such as caesura allows for more vocal, concentrated expression for specific feeling ex:"To-day". The countless devices available in writing allow novelists' to be able to express even the same views in similar manor, yet have a completely different interpretation thus highlighting the value of sounds in poetry.
