(The Kaleidoscope/Sandra’s Mobile/Second Opinion) It is considered more difficult for a poet to grab the attention and imagination of an audience than it is for an author. The use of metaphor and symbol in poetry means that the poet can say one thing and invoke a whole range of possibilities‚ be it love‚ anger‚ jealousy or envy; an old memory or a new wish. The use of metaphors and
