On Poetry

Rhyme scheme, the rhythm of rhyming;
Personification, talking bells chiming;
Imagery, pictures painted with words;
Diction, choosing the words to be heard;
Alliteration, repetition of sounds;
Hyperbole, infinite, engulfing, zounds!
Meter, the pitter-patter of feet;
Poetry, language of the elite?

Ah, the Poetics.
