#54 Poetic devices in the poem 'An elementary school classroom in a slum' (27/04/2020)

1. Alliteration --- Far, far from gusty waves...................

2. Simile---- these children's faces like rootless weeds

3. Metaphor-- the stunted unlucky heir of twisted bones

4. Symbolism-- Map (World) Fog and endless night (uncertainty) 

5. Simile-- mended glass like bottle bits on stones
                  slums as big as doom
                   windows that shut upon their lives like catacombs

6. Alliteration--- Break O break open till they break the town

7. Metaphor-- ...whose language is the sun.
