<em>Describe, in at least 150 words, some of the poetic devices Neruda chose to use here, and how they contribute to the meaning of the poem.</em>

  • <em>These are some of the devices Neruda chose in “Your Laughter”. He uses a metaphor when comparing her laughter to a foamy cascade in autumn. Autumn is the underlying tone of this metaphor, and Neruda describes it to express what her laughter really causes him. He uses a simile when comparing her laughter to the flower he was waiting for. We have to take into account that a simile is identified by the use of as and like. There is a close relation between the season, spring, and the flowers, because is what connects us to this season. In addition, mentioning only the blue flowers among all the colorful flowers that can be seen in spring, gives us the preference of the beholder. This takes us to a specific moment and place in which it was written. Finally, Neruda uses a metaphor when saying, “the rose of my echoing country”.</em>

Answer:

The answer is a lyric poem.  

Explanation:

A lyric poem is short, highly musical verse that conveys powerful feelings. The poet may use rhyme, meter, or other literary devices to create a song-like quality. A lyric poem is a private expression of emotion by a single speaker. For example, American poet Emily Dickinson described inner feelings when she wrote her lyric poem that begins, "I felt a Funeral, in my Brain, / And Mourners to and fro."

Song lyrics often begin as lyric poems. In ancient Greece, lyric poetry was, in fact, combined with music played on a U-shaped stringed instrument called a lyre. Through words and music, great lyric poets like Sappho (ca. 610–570 B.C.) poured out feelings of love and yearning.

Lyric poetry also has no prescribed form. Sonnets, villanelles, rondeaus, and pantoums are all considered lyric poems. So are elegies, odes, and most occasional (or ceremonial) poems. When composed in free verse, lyric poetry achieves musicality through literary devices such as alliteration, assonance, and anaphora.
