3. Chapter 5 speaks of the sound (and look) of sense and chapter 7 describes metaphors. The sound of a poem is the way it falls on the readers ears, the look is similar to the sound as it determines how the poem will be viewed when the reader sees it. The way poets use alliteration by repeating certain consonant sounds in their writing, can paint an audible picture for the reader to follow. Onomatopoeia usage in poetry is fun and can add sound effects and interest to the poem. According to the text, metaphors and figurative speech are a way to create a poems density and reveal how the poets mind works. The different ways to use metaphors in poetry allow for more imagination in writing it.
2. Being able to change the way a poem is written visually can create interest from a reader. I never thought to change the way things are physically laid our on paper to change the way they were read. Using personification to make inanimate objects come to life is a fun way to make the reader feel the things you are describing about them.
1. A question I have for my peers is "Is it difficult to digest poetry written with a lot of metaphors?" I find that I have a difficult time deciphering the true meaning when too many are used in the poem.
