Poetic Devices

We be getting down and you know we're crush groovin

Let me get some action from the back section

Let your back bone flip but don't slip a disc

Let your spine unwind just take a risk

I wanna do the freak until the break of dawn

Tell me party people is that so wrong

“Cool sexy, ever ready, someone fine, always steady, gentle hands, dirty mind, use your head and don't be blind”

“The feeling that it’s a whole lot of oysters, but no pearls”

. . .

n the summertime

The feel of an ice cube

Melting overtime

The world seems bigger

Than both of us

Yet it seems so small

when I begin to cry”

hyperbole:

Dire Straits “Romeo and Juliet”

“Juliet when we made love you used to cry

you said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till i die”

personification:

Ben Harper, “Forever”

“Not talkin' 'bout a year

no not three or four

I don't want that kind of forever

in my life anymore

forever always seems

to be around when it begins

but forever never seems

to be around when it ends

so give me your forever

please your forever

not a day less will do

from you

People spend so much time

every single day

runnin' 'round all over town

givin' their forever away

but no not me

I won't let my forever roam

and now I hope I can find

my forever a home

so give me your forever

please your forever

not a day less will do”

from you”

symbolism:

Celine Dion “A New Day Has Come”

“Let the rain come down

And wash away my tears

Let it fill my soul

And drown my fears

Let it shatter the walls

For a new sun

A new day has come

A new day has come

Where it was dark now there is light

Where there was pain, now there's joy

Where there was weakness, I found my strength”

internal rhyme:

Spice Girls “Last Time Lover”

“Treat me right all night

Makes me feel good like you should”.

allusion:

“One Tin Soldier”

“Do it in the name of heaven

you can justify it in the end

there won’t be any trumpets blowing

come the judgment day

on the bloody morning after

one tin soldier rides away”

conceit:

Dire Straits “Romeo and Juliet”

“a love struck Romeo sings a streetsuss serenade

laying everybody low with a love song that he made

finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade

says something like you and me babe how about it?

Juliet says hey it's Romeo you nearly gimme a heart attack

he's underneath the window she's singing hey now my boyfriend's back

you shoudn't come around here singing up at people like that

anyway what you gonna do about it?”

elegy:

Lifehouse “Breathing”

“I'm finding my way back to sanity again

Though I don't really know what I'm gonna do when i get there

I take a breath and hold on tight

Spin around one more time

And gracefully fall back to the arms of grace

Cause I am hanging on every word you're saying

Even if you don't wanna speak tonight

That's alright, alright with me

Cause I want nothing more than to sit outside heaven's door

And listen to you breathing

Its where i wanna be, yeah

Where I wanna be”.
