People, such as authors, editors, copywriters have always used the various figures of speech since the birth of mankind. The figure of speech can be used as a way to get around the censorship and bring out the truth that we generally might not be able to face. Using figure of speech is also a way to accentuate the beauty as well as the pain through use of proper words.
It improves the ability to understand the metamorphic language that will open the key to poetry. Here are some examples of poetry that makes use of Figure Of Speech in a very simplistic way.
1. There You Go Again
There you go again,
sniping from the safety of the nursery slopes,
applauded by those whose skis never leave the white.
Dreaming that you might one day
seek the tantalizing dangers of off-piste.
You’ve removed your wearisome mask;
wiped away your wetness.
Now the snowy sun of self-delusion blinds you,
as I witness your face how it truly is.
Hit a rock, and it won’t bounce.
You know that now.
So take off your gown and mortarboard of crass hypocrisy;
preaching and lecturing are for the genuinely veracious.
And remember:
Those who preen too intently in the mirror
fail to see behind.
2. Blood On The Marquee
Blood On The Marquee
Savor host
Savior moist
Search within
thoughts of Rin Tin Tin
shallow peaks that stink
fall away from me
the clearance way from me;
within its love set free
shallow road where Chinese man pee
Blood on the marquee
water within the base of the tree
hoping someday my sweet would so kindly marry me
Blood on the marquee
some folks live in the land of make believe
source through shallow peaks
busy as a bee
come with source to marry me
unlock the key
Blood on the marquee
shallow pool with dreams;
base the pool filled with leaves;
chase back the hill one be willing to believe
blood on the marquee
see through the hills will follow me
lest, you never achieve
lobster with soda strange as getting to know you
words that clash
figure of speech
satin sheets
blood on the marquee
foreign lead
apple pie with ice cream
amuse the cat with sleeve
3. Do Not Need To Complete Obstruction
Horn Haiku.
To be culpable,
You do not need to complete,
Any obstruction.
Trump is never nice;
With his vice he does entice,
And sins shall suffice.,
Truly a lost cause;
Qualities not redeeming;
Sets poor example.
Trump lied while we cried;
He had killed figure of speech,
Being blasphemous.
Trump has been lazy;
Always sitting on keister;
Never getting off.
Sri Lanka so sad;
Once was country of Ceylon,
And now death does part.
He fought off our foes;
We know that Jesus arose,
After death He chose.
You should think about,
All of the things that I wrote,
Then read them again.
4. Back To School
Time has now come for the teacher in me
To embark upon a new school journey
Thrilled to cuddle my twin fascination
A vocation not an occupation
Tempted by an undefined feeling
Two great relish in my chest revealing
My students golden rules again I’ll teach
Limerick, Acrostic, figure of speech
To PS my heart will sneak now and then
For touching beauties a visit I’ll pen
Wise souls from whom wealth I’ve become aware
A grateful loving heart for what we share
With artistic flair I’ll greet my school year
Art of teaching I aspire and revere
Poesy catching my heart and my soul
Teaching, Light ever extending my whole.
We hope that these poems will help you better understand the concept of figure of speech.
