But the great thing is, no matter how a poem is written it still h

27、olds great emotion. Some common techniques are used in poetry. Onomatopoeia(擬聲) is one of the easiest ways to learn and use. The definition of onomatopoeia is a word copying a sound. For example, “buzz”, “moo” and “beep”. This can be used in a variety of ways, giving the reader a “hands on” feel. On

28、e technique that you might be familiar with is alliteration(頭韻). This procedure is used by starting three or more words with the same sound An example of this would be “The crazy crackling crops”. The three words dont have to have the exact same beginning to have this effect. The next style is asson

29、ance(諧音). It is defined as a repetition of vowel sounds within syllables with changing consonants. This is also used in many different situations. One would be “tilting at windmills”. Notice the vowels within each syllable that sound the same. Rhyming is probably the most well-known technique used.

30、However, unlike popular belief, it does not need to be within a poem to make it a poem. As for similes(明喻),they are often used within poetry.

Metaphors are sometimes hard to find and it takes some thinking to figure out, but they give writers more power to express their thoughts about a

32、 certain situation. In fact, not only is it found within the story, the story itself is a metaphor of memory and the constant reminder of the narrators loss. To have a full grasp of poetry, onomatopoeia, alliteration, assonance, rhyming, simile and metaphor should behousehold words.28. To write a po

36、p one chopstick, representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family.
