  5. Six Poetic Devices Look for five of these six poetic devices in your poem search: • Simile • Hyperbole • Alliteration • Metaphor • Onomatopoeia • Personification

  6. SIMILE • A comparison using like or as. • EXAMPLES: As brave as a lion, As dumb as an ox

  7. METAPHOR • A figure of speech in which one thing is spoken as though it were something else, a direct comparison of two unlike things. • EXAMPLE: She had a cold heart.

  8. PERSONIFICATION • Figurative language in which a nonhuman subject is given human characteristics • EXAMPLE: The wind spoke her name.

  9. ONOMATOPOEIA • The use of words that imitate sounds. • Buzz, Thud, Hiss, Woof, Quack

  10. ALLITERATION • Repetition of the same, initial consonant sounds

  11. HYPERBOLE • A bold, deliberate overstatement not intended to be taken seriously. The purpose is to emphasize the truth of the statement. • EXAMPLES: He weighs a ton or I could eat a horse

  12. OTHER POETRY TERMS • Rhyme • Repetition • Imagery • Stanza • Verse • Meter • Foot • Beat Poet • Slam • Spoken Word

  13. RHYME • Word endings that sounds alike • Internal Rhyme – rhyme within a line • EXAMPLES: Time, Slime, Mime • Internal Rhyme – Scornfully scaly snake which held his very fate

  14. REPETITION • The use, more than once, of any element of language – a sound, a word, a phrase, a clause, or a sentence. • EXAMPLE: By Edgar Allan Poe By the sinking or the swelling in the anger of the bells Of the bells Of the bells, bells, bells, bells

  15. IMAGERY • Usually these words or phrases create a picture in the reader’s mind. Some imagery appeals to the other four senses (hearing, touch, taste, smell). • EXAMPLES: • Sight – smoke mysteriously puffed our from his ears • Sound – he could hear a faint but distant thump • Touch – the burlap wall covering scraped his skin • Taste – a salty tear ran down his cheek • Smell – the scent of cinnamon floated into his nostrils
