Or what I learned in my poetry workshop this semester. Dedicated to the poets in class.
Armed and infused with tangled words, I recieved a cheat sheet. A reference of literary terms. Most of them were familiar. And most I was completey wrong about.
Kennings:
Well, he sounds like a gentleman
A Glenlivet kind-of man with a handsome pipe
A Fitzgerald wakeful sleeper type
Anaphora:
It could be the name of a pet chiguagua that keeps you up all night
With it's damned blistering bark
With it's damned pink tou tou and bling bling collar
With it's damned paw prints in the garden
With it's damned peeled back eyes
Metonymy:
I was under the impression that it was a society of irate right wing conservatives
But, according to the cheat sheet it is when you use a related word to substitute words

Polysyndeton:
It was a great Swedish black and white film set in the early 40's
Until it became my favorite chocolate and my favorite blanket and my favorite torn socks and the Badly Drawn Boy melody in the background and the windshield wipers speaking in unison and the residue in my bottled water
