The poem needs emotions, but we need to create emotions with words, the creation, which are like pictures. To increase the feeling of a writing, we are capable of poetic devices. Metaphors or similes a way to reinforce l '(is intensifying vigorize support expressed for the animation, to justify to promote, improve) the emotion.

A metaphor is the comparison of two dissimilar things using a different file. A eample might be: "love is the honey of life paid." Love is not honey, but the comparison providesa mental image of sweetness is forced to live.

A parable is to say, the comparison of two dissimilar things, it's like or how the others: "Love is like honey poured over the life."

Metaphors and similes are as what they do, in writing. To compare two things in opposition.

Remember, the singing of children, by an unknown author:

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star,
How I wonder what you are
On top of the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky.

Comparing the star of a diamond is aParable. But this comparison does not show feelings, right?

So we think of an emotion. Shame is a feeling that most people have heard one time or another. Well, what can we compare the shame?

Shame is like a filthy, the ceiling smoothering, the clouds, our vision. Shame is a monster that steals our self-esteem. Sin makes us feel in trouble, unworthy, like a statue, which is under the rain, worn and dull SA. Shame envelops us in gray, black-from-l'amore others. This gives us aBeginning for a poem that includes the emotions of shame and some ideas for metaphors and similes.

Shame
by Vivian Gilbert Zabel

The bare before the world,
My faults and shortcomings
Exposed for all to see.
Like a bad taste, torn blankets,
A cloud of despair choked me.
Levels of gray with stripes
The dazzling black print me
The floor, a broken statue,
Overshadowed by incessant rain
And worn by whimpering wind.

I can not raise his headWatch
For the other by me
Showing contempt in his eyes.
Shame, the dependence
Disgusted with myself, burning
Like a fire without heat,
Just a common cold can be a consolation.
How can you love me
When I was raped in life
The fact that who and what am I?

The poetry of the above two comparisons and a metaphor. "A symbol of a cloud of despair, like a tacky, tattered blanket suffocated, the narrator. The other says that the disgust burnslike a fire without heat. The metaphor compares the narrator, a statue damaged. All contribute to the emotions in poetry, the improvement of shame. Alliteration is also used: scraps sticky; dazzling black wind, the rain incessant, worn, wow, the contempt shown.

Hopefully we can improve our poetry and the emotions and images of metaphor or simile, or both. Let's look at the practice of using this in our writing, how can we create more power in ourPoems.
