The study sought to examine the phonological characteristics found in Billy Collins' poem "Introduction to Poetry," with a specific emphasis on the aspects of rhyme scheme, meter, alliteration, assonance, and consonance, and their impact on Collins' poetic style. The poem is a sixteen-line free verse divided into seven stanzas, and it does not have a predetermined rhyme scheme. Nevertheless, Collins skillfully integrates slant rhymes and sound repetition techniques throughout the stanzas. The meter in the poem exhibits uneven patterns in the couplets and tercets, while consistently keeping a casual and conversational tone. Alliteration, assonance, and consonance are employed to augment the melodic quality and cadence of the poetry. The use of repeated start and ending consonants in the poem enhances its lyrical nature, resulting in an interesting and memorable reading experience. The phonological aspects in Collins' writing enhance the auditory quality of the poem and also contribute to its informal and approachable nature. This allows readers to create a stronger connection with the poem through its melodic and emotional elements.
