March 22nd - Where my literary devices at?
Well it is becoming increasingly difficult to find things to write about every day. Today I decided to move away from analyzing and look at the poem to find some literary devices. I have read online that Yusef loves using similes and sometimes criticized for over using them. In this poem I picked out only three similes in the latter half of the poem. The first appears in stanza six, "The backyard trees breathed like a man running from himself." This line is also personification. The next two appear in the final stanza, "Like a gambler's visor" and "The dresser mirror like a moon Held prisoner in the house."
