Abstract
This research is about the analysis of different types of sound devices used in writing poetry. This aims to provide teachers with additional concrete knowledge of a method to analyze poetry in order to choose and make appropriate teaching materials for the Filipino subject. The researcher used a qualitative method and selected three poems that won the Palanca Award in three periods. To compare the use of different types of sound devices in local poems compared to foreign poems, the researcher chose three poems from each local and foreign poem that won different types of awards. It was discovered in the study that in the three local and foreign poems used in the analysis, the use of assonance is more dominant, and consonance is the one with the least use. The study revealed that there is no difference in the style of the writers in choosing and using different types of sound devices in writing poetry. Students and teachers, especially those who teach Filipino, should have sufficient knowledge of different types of sound devices. In this way, the analysis of a poem becomes easy.
