Symbolism:

I walked on the edge of the woods

I am careful not to go too far

For within the hollowed tees, there lie falsehoods

So I must stay,walking among the stars

In the gloomy forest it is a one way ticket

So I must stray just beyond the thickets

Though I may be beckoned to come from others who have gone

I will stray from dusk to dawn

Hyperbole:

She laughs and I smile a hundred times more

She’s so beautiful it makes my heart sore

Her eyes shine brighter than a 1000 stars

I feel joy when I see her from afar

My heart leaps whenever I see her

Life with her becomes a blur

She laughs and I smile a hundred times more

Seeing her makes the whole world spin

It makes me savor the places from where she's been

When she looks at me I can't think

When she looks at me I cant blink

It’s like a wall blocks me from her

But I will reach her I assure

She laughs and I smile a hundred times more

Metaphor:

Dust and dirt

Confusion and hurt

A musky closet

Light spills out from below the door

Careful not to get hit

Something comes near and you plead “No more”

A mirror in front of you

You see yourself

Making sure you have the work that’s due

You cower from the pain you’ve dealt

Life is a monotonous chore

Working, eyes to the floor

With you driving you

Until succumbing to death you do

Imagery:

A winters morning

A brilliant white blanket covers as far the eye can see

The scent that covers you is that of burning

Fallen and broken are the trees

A foxhole is what you now call home

You must be careful to never roam

Snow dances as it falls to the ground

Gunfire and engines are the only sounds

Consonance:

Italy, lying in the Mediterranean

Arancini, fried and oozing

Fresh Grissini poking out of baskets

Antipasti on platters

Cioccolatini waiting in boxes

Freshly baked Pasticcini on plates

Spaghetti coiled up covered with sauce

Plates of ravioli stacked up, waiting to be eaten
