Solution
Dear Student
Poetic devices are used in a poem to make it attractive, interesting and rhythmic. The mood of the poem can be dramatically heightened by using these devices.
Some of the commonly used devices are:-
- Simile- It is used to compare two things by using as or like. For eg.- He is as strong as a lion.
- Metaphor- Direct comparison is shown by using this device without using as or like. Eg- She is all states, and all princes.
- Alliteration- Repetition of the consonant sound.
- Imagery- It is used to create images in the reader's mind. Eg- A saw a crowd of golden daffodils.
- Onomatopoeia- It is used to imitate sound. Eg- I babble on the pebbles.
- Personification- When a non living object is given a human identity. Eg- Sun smiled down on the people.
