Your task is to write a paragraph that justifies a song as a good example of poetry. Choose a song in which you are able to identify 6 poetic devices. Don't bother with rhyme or stanza - that goes without saying.
Similie, metaphor, personification, hyperbole, allusion, symbolism, alliteration, understatement, onomatopoiea, apostophe, paradox, oxymoron, irony, connotation, imagery through effective diction, figurative language, mood, theme...
These are all examples of techniques used by poets - and song writers are poets.
Make sure that you copy and paste the lyrics of the song as part of your blog since I may not be familiar with the song. Include the title and songwriter in your introduction. Provide a direct reference worked into your own sentence for each of the examples you discuss. A good writer always strives for a creative intoduction and conclusion
