This post is a place where poets can share some of the literary devices/craft that they use to create meaning and mood in their poetry. I personally tend to use a lot of alliteration to drive the rhythm of the lines of my poetry. example - While trees take their time, slowly maturing/ the oft' forgotten fly experiences all seasons in a single day;
The use of the same consonant to start the words in these lines helps me create a backing rhythm to the poem that is not "sing-songy" but hopefully develops and pace and speed for the audience. What do you use to emphasize/create feeling or importance in your poetry?
