Poetic devices of the poem speak up
Answers
Poetic devices are tools used by a poet to create rhythm, intensify a feeling or mood, or to enhance the meaning of a poem. They help to join and put the poem together as one piece.
Some poetic devices are:
1. Alliteration or the repetition of initial consonant sounds.
2. Imagery or words or phrases which appeal to any sense or a combination of senses.
3. Assonance or the repetition of vowel sounds.
4. Personification
5. Metaphor or a comparison between two things which are not alike but have something in common. For example, the curtain of night, all the world's a stage.
6. Rhyming or the repetition of the same or similar sounds. This repetition usually occurs at the end of the lines in poems.
In the poem 'Speak Up' the poet Gaia Rose has used rhyming. The last words of the lines have a similar sound. For example, say, everyway, back, lack, hold, bold, rest, best.
