E-Lecture - Poetic Devices
  1. Simile: A simile is a poetic device that involves the comparison of two unlike things through the use of the words ‘as’ or ‘like’. Examples in the poem are:
    Lines 2 – Like a sculptor chipping away at bits of wood
    Lines 25 – Like their souls looking for lyrics
    Lines 42 – Stripped of lyrics like a scorned ghost
  2. Metaphor: A metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two unrelated things by stating that one thing is another. This is used in the poem in the following lines:
    Line 10 – When servitude cuffed the ankles of their souls
    Line 16 – Cheat the tyranny of tit
  3. Alliteration
    Alliteration is the repetition of the same sound or sounds, especially consonant at the beginning of several words that are close together in a line of poetry. Examples in this poem:
    Line 5 – They sang in the forlorn fields
    Line 8 – For memories of lyrics lost in the vast void of time
  4. Personification
    Personification is a figure of speech or poetic device which transfers human qualities to inanimate objects or things. Tunes, lyrics, and songs are personified in this poem as roaming and possessing life. Other examples of personification in the poem are in:
    Line 2 – Time chisels away bits of their memory
    Lines 37 – 38 The stuttering lips of my pen
    And the screeching voice of my ribs.
