Alliteration: when words are used in succession, or even the first letter. In the poem it is used when the poet says “Behind blown-empty bellies.” Assonance: repetition of vowel sounds in one line. The sound of ‘e’ repeated in the line “between her teeth.” Caesura: a long pause or break in a line, either naturally or by punctuation. “Had long ceased to care, but not this one.” Internal rhyme: half rhyme in a poem. Words like “odours/washed/waddling/bottoms/blown-empty/not/ghost,” in the poem. Simile: like metaphor, but comparison is done using the word “like,” or “as.” For instance, “like putting flowers on a tiny grave.” A Mother in a Refugee Camp Summary
