Understanding the underlying sub-text of works by listening to repetitive vowel and consonant sound
You can look at different poets and writers and understand the underlying meanings of the works by listening to repetitive vowel and consonant sounds. For instance, In Paradise Lost, Milton employs generous use of vowel sounds that sound like awe or ahh to give us a sense of wonder at and awe at the divinity of his work. Sylvia Plath liked to employ sss sounds in much of her work, so we could actually hear the snake coiling in her words, as she wrote, so that it gave us a sense of her feelings of despair, and the eeriness and gloom that often accompany her writing. So how something sounds in our head becomes as important as the actual meaning of the words.

I use vowel sounds, repetition, line breaks, appropriate words lengths and, particularly when doing something that involves a specific character or in a voice, words and word sounds that are appropriate to the speaker or situation.
Lately I've been playing with extended tension by breaking open forms in the final stanza and elongating the stanza. It practically makes the reader control her breath (literally if reading it aloud) in cooperation with the poem.
