They tell a story but give the rest for you to think and ponder about. A poet uses multiple literary devices in one single poem.

    The first poem ‘Sonnet 130’ by William Shakespeare has a humorous view on the traditional ideas of beauty. The poem is a five duplet metre with the stressed sounds starting on the second word of each line. Each line has the same amount of stressed and unstressed patterns which is very common for sonnets to make it quick and easy to read. The five duplet pattern never mimics human speech in the way a four duplet pattern does. The end of each alternating line has a distinct rhyming pattern

    Tension in Poetry John Orley Allen Tate Many poems that we ordinarily think of as good poetry -- and some‚ besides‚ that we neglect -- have certain common features that will allow us to invent‚ for their sharper apprehension‚ the name of a single quality.
