      1. Metaphor: A metaphor is a figure of speech that makes a comparison between two, unlike things without using “like” or “as.” For example: “if you had two tongues in your mouth”.
      2. Repetition: Repetition is the deliberate use of the same words, phrases, or sounds to create emphasis or reinforce a particular idea. For example: “it grows back, a stump of a shoot / grows longer, grows moist, grows strong veins”.
      3. Imagery: Imagery refers to the use of vivid and descriptive language to create sensory experiences and mental pictures in the reader’s mind. For example: “it ties the other tongue in knots”.
      4. Symbolism: Symbolism is the use of symbols to represent abstract ideas or concepts. For example: “The bud opens, the bud opens in my mouth”.
      5. Enjambment: Enjambment is the continuation of a sentence or phrase across multiple lines, without a pause or punctuation at the end of each line. For example: “I thought I spit it out / but overnight while I dream”.
