The Poetic Alphabet

A poet must

beware the 

childish

dependence on  

exotic words and redundant

figures of speech.

Gradation,

hyperbole,

irony, you get the picture.

Just 

keep it simple and

logical.

Mind you,

no one says an occasional

oxymoron or

pun, or even a 

quote will 

ruin your poem. A random 

synecdoche is fine, as long as you don’t lose

track of your  

unique 

voice and

your poetic 

vision. That’s 

what sets you apart - your

x-ray vision and your poetic

zest.
