Writing 4B
Select one song that has at least two poetic devices in it and write the selection’s song lyrics. Be sure
that the song you have chosen is school-appropriate. Then for TWO of the poetic devices you choose in
the song, fill in the boxes below. You will be filling in a total of EIGHT boxes --- four for each poetic device
you choose. The poetic devices may be of the same type, e.g. two metaphors, or they may be of different
types, e.g. a word or phrase with strong negative or positive connotations and an example of
personification.
