Literary Elements and Techniques in Poetry

We identified symbolism, metaphor, simile, assonance, and personification in the poems "Fire and Ice" by Robert Frost, "See You Next Year" by Judith Pordon, and in the song "All Good Things Come to an End," by Nelly Furtado.  We saw the metaphor of fire symbolizing passion emerge both in the Nelly Furtado song and the Robert Frost poem.  Tomorrow we will look at more poems and songs, uncovering their hidden meanings and interpreting their images.
