Each post should be between 50-100 words.  Your post should contain a discussion of at least one poetic device, such as simile, metaphor, personification, analogy, symbolism, allusion, paradox, oxymoron, rhyme, alliteration, assonance, onomatopoeia, free verse, repetition, refrain, diction, or tone.


Have fun and be respectful!
