(It has rhyme of course) She fears him, and will always ask What fated her to choose him; She meets in his engaging mask All reasons to refuse him; But what she meets and what she fears Are less than are the downward years Drawn slowly to the foamless weirs Of age, were she to lose him. (allusion: she's allluding to death) Between a blurred sagacity That once had power to sound him, (personification) And Love, that will not let him be (personification) The Judas that she found him, (allusion: she's alluding to Judas in the Bible) Her pride assuages her almost, As if it were alone the cost. (simile) He sees that he will not be lost, And waits and looks around him. A sense of ocean and old trees Envelops and allures him; (personification) Tradition, touching all he sees, Beguiles and reassures him; (personification) And all her doubts of what he says Are dimmed with what she knows of days-- Till even prejudice delays, And fades, and she secures him. (personification) The falling leaf inaugurates The reign of her confusion; The pounding wave reverberates The dirge of her illusion; And home, where passion lived and died, Becomes a place where she can hide, (metaphor) Whi 1 minute ago While all the town and harbor side Vibrate with her seclusion. (personification) We tell you, tapping on our brows, (onomatopeia) The story as it should be, As if the story of a house (simile) Were told, or ever could be; We'll have no kindly veil between Her visions and those we have seen, As if we guessed what hers have been, Or what they are or would be. Meanwhile we do no harm; for they That with a god have striven, Not hearing much of what we say, Take what the god has given; Though like waves breaking it may be,(simile) Or like a changed familiar tree, (simile) Or like a stairway to the sea (simile) Where down the blind are driven.
Literary Device's used in poem help!?
What literary devices are seen in this poem? there are so many I can figure it out?? "Song of the Sky Loom" by the Tewa Indian Tribe O our Mother the Earth, O our Father the Sky, Your children are we, and with tired backs We bring you the gifts you love. Then weave for us a garment of brightness; May the warp* be the white light of morning, May the weft* be the red light of evening, May the fringes be the falling rain, May the border be the standing rainbow. Thus weave for us a garment of brightness, That we may walk fittingly where birds sing, That we may walk fittingly where grass is green, O our Mother the Earth, O our Father the Sky.

Blow, blow, thou winter wind Thou art not so unkind As man's ingratitude; Thy tooth is not so keen, Because thou art not seen, Although thy breath be rude. Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly: Most freindship if feigning, most loving mere folly: Then heigh-ho, the holly! This life is most jolly. Freeze, freeze thou bitter sky, That does not bite so nigh As benefits forgot: Though thou the waters warp, Thy sting is not so sharp As a friend remembered not. Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly: Most freindship if feigning, most loving mere folly: Then heigh-ho, the holly! This life is most jolly.

Why do writers use literary devices?
There are many literary devices, from allegory to allusion and imagery to metaphor. The main reason literary devices are used is to connect with the reader. When we read, we want to connect to the story in a way to better understand. To truly enjoy what is written we need to become a character in the story. And literary devices help us to better see and feel the storyline. Action, love, suspense, fear and hate are all present when literary devices are used. A good storyline captures all of our senses in a way to take us to the place, either mystical or historical, futuristic or present time that makes the story relevant to the reader. These devices draw the reader in, paint a picture, heighten the senses, and pull at us emotionally. Without literary devices you may as well read a math flash card.
