Poetic Devices
full rhyme:
Beastie Boys "Body Movin"
"Body movin, body movin,
A1 sound, sound so soothing
Body movin, body movin,
We be getting down and you know we're crush groovin
Let me get some action from the back section
We need body rocking not perfection
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
The ship is docking, inter-lockin
And up-rockin electro-shocking
We're getting down computer action
Do the robotic satisfaction
All of y'all get off the wall"
assonance:
Spice Girls "Last Time Lover"
"Cool sexy, ever ready, someone fine, always steady, gentle hands, dirty mind, use your head and don't be blind"
metaphor:
Counting Crows, "Long December"
"The feeling that it's a whole lot of oysters, but no pearls"
imagery:
Splender "I Think God Can Explain"
"The sent of Vaseline
in 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 wil...
