4. 1. INTRODUCTION
“Poetry is nearer to vital truth than history”
– Leonardo da Vinci –
edited by Marlies K. Danziger and Wendell Stacy Johnson
(1968:13) explains that even though there are several ways of thinking about poetry, a
poem is one thing: it is nothing more than it words. This is to say again that the total
“feeling” of a poem is communicated by its highly structured language. We cannot
understand or judge the meaning apart from the form. We cannot define it in one
sentence exactly, but we can understand the poetry by reading and analyzing it. The
meaning of analyzing poetry is the process of investigating a poem's form, content,
structural semiotics and history in an informed way, with the purpose of heightening
one's own and others' understanding and appreciation of the work.

6. 2. THEORY
The Bedford INTRODUCTION to Literature Second Edition by Michael Meyer (1990:561)
tells that Figurative Language is broadly defined as a way of saying one thing in terms of
something else. Figurative language makes its way into our everyday speech and writing as well as
into literature because it is a means of achieving color, vividness, and intensity.
A metaphor, like a simile, makes a comparison between two unlike things, but it does so
implicitly, without words such as like or as. Metaphor asserts the identity of dissimilar thing.
Metaphor transforms people, places, objects, and ideas into whatever the poet imagines them to be,
and if metaphors are effective, the reader’s experience, understanding, and appreciation of what is
described are enhanced. Here is a poem about presentiment, a foreboding that something terrible
is about to happen. (1990:563)

7. 2. THEORY
A simile compares things that are ordinarily considered unlike each other. It makes an
explicit comparison between two things by using words such as like, as, than, appears, or seems.
The force of the simile is created by the differences between the two things compared. (1990:563)
Rhyme is a way of creating sound patterns. Rhyme, broadly defined, consists of two or more
words or phrases that repeat the same sounds. Moreover, words may look alike but not rhyme at
all. In eye rhyme the spellings are similar but the pronunciations are not, as with bough and cough,
or brow and blow (1990:609).
