Guide to Poetic Devices

Greetings students (and anyone interested in creative writing),

I just wanted to deliver this quick blog post so that I can include a useful link I discovered today.

I was on the lookout for a handy guide to poetic terms and devices, and it turns out the Chaparral Poets have provide this concise, informative handout in PDF form.

Here's the link: http://www.chaparralpoets.org/devices.pdf

I suggest printing it up, studying it, try out some of the forms mentioned. If you feel good about something you create (whether it's poetry or prose), share it on your blog and tell the rest of the class about it.
