Analyzing Poems

Forest in the Rain

Dark, emerald foliage
Deep, forest green
Crystal spheres falling - Both hyperbole and metaphor.
Waxy, shiny sheen

Drip, drip, dripping - Onomatopoeia.
Diamond glitter drops - Euphomy (it sounds like a song.)
Small streams forming
Rivulets run down moss - Imagery (you can really see it.)

Moist soil scent - Connotation
Soft, brown earth
Critters crawling ‘round
In the deep, wet dirt

Mist clings to leaves - Personification (cling)
Fog blankets sound
Viridity, health, and beauty
Peace all around

Stanzas (whole poem)
Rhyme (whole poem)
Rhythm (whole poem)
