1) A simile is a comparison between two unlike things. Similes use the words 'like' or 'as.' A simile can get the reader to look at something in a different way.
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun
2) A metaphor is a comparison between two unlike things without using the words like or as. A metaphor uses the senses and compares two things in a meaningful way.
She is all states, and all princes, I.
Poets may also use imagery, or words to create an image in the reader's mind. Imagery is based on our five senses, though visual imagery is used the most.
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils;
.
Alliteration, or repeating consonant sounds at the beginning of words, shapes how the poem sounds when read aloud, and can add to the poem's feeling because some consonants have harsher sounds, while others are more pleasing or calming to hear. For example, the 's' or the 'sh' sounds are more pleasing while the sounds of 'b' or 'g' are often more sharp soundings.
a hyperbole, an exaggeration that is used for dramatic effect. John Donne uses hyperbole in his poem 'Song: Go and Catch a Falling Star.'
Ride ten thousand days and nights,
'Til age snow white hairs on thee,
Onomatopoeia is another good example. This device uses words that resemble or imitate sounds. Words like 'bang' and 'boom' could add to the intensity of a poem as those sounds could be reminiscent of war or violence,
Personification, or giving a non-living thing qualities of something that is alive, can also magnify mood. If a poet describes the sun as 'angrily beating down on the people below,' negative feelings are heightened.
repetition is repeating words, phrases, or lines. For example, Edgar Allen Poe's poem 'The Bells' repeats the word 'bells.' By doing so, Poe creates a sing-song rhythm similar to that of bells ringing.
To the swinging and the ringing
of the bells, bells, bells--
A unit of poetic meter, also known as a foot, consists of various combinations of stressed and unstressed syllables. There are several types of feet in poetry, and they can all be used to create rhythm. One example is an anapest. An anapest consists of two unaccented syllables with an accented one right after it, such as com-pre-HEND or in-ter-VENE.
An anapestic meter creates rhythm in Byron's poem 'The Destruction of Sennacherib.' Read the lines and count out the syllables, noting how every third syllable is the accented one. Anapestic meter is challenging to craft, but it creates a powerful rhythmic flow as seen below.
And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea,
When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee.
The reverse of an anapest is a dactyl. It is a stressed syllable followed by two unstressed ones, such as FLUT-ter-ing or BLACK-ber-ry. Tennyson's poem 'The Charge of the Light Brigade' uses dactyl meter. As you read the lines, you'll notice that the poet consistently follows the pattern of one stressed syllable then two unstressed syllables.
Forward, the Light Brigade!

Rhyming is another common poetic device used to create rhythm. There are several types of rhyming devices.
One example is a couplet, or two rhymed lines that are together and may or may not stand alone within a poem. Shakespeare's sonnets end in couplets, as in his Sonnet 29. Shakespeare's couplet below consists of two lines that have end rhyme because of the words 'brings' and 'kings.'
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
Another example of rhyming in poetry is internal rhyme, which is a rhyme that typically occurs within the same line of poetry. Edgar Allen Poe's 'The Raven' uses internal rhyme with the words 'dreary' and 'weary':
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary
Unlike an internal rhyme, an end rhyme occurs when two words at the end of lines rhyme. Emily Dickinson's poem 'A Word' uses end rhyme by rhyming the words 'dead' and 'said' at the end of the lines.
A word is dead
When it is said
