One of the poetic devices I used in this poem is personification. Another one is the end rhyme in the 3rd stanza at the end of the last three lines by using quicker, angrier and rougher. I also used internal rhyme in the 3rd stanza when it says harder and quicker, darker and angrier and stronger and rougher.
I like this poem because it has a good flow to it, I want this poem to be engaging for the reader and inviting the reader to imagine the beauty of the waves. I feel that personification best describes the waves.
The Wave
By Natasha Gunawan
The wave comes in confident But then runs away scared. She rushes softly and quickly And calmly fades away. She acts as though she Is afraid of shallow land. She leaves behind shells, As presents for you.
When day turns to night She moves harder, quicker She looks darker, angrier and She feels stronger, rougher In the starless night She turns more gloomy and mad. And the day starts to end When her waves turn to storms…
