That heals from deep wounds.
We who are left bereft, bothered and bewildered turn our chosen brew

We are lovers of this city that hurts and heals,
It is our home of perpetual affliction and affection.

Notes: Free verse is a popular style of modern poetry, and as its name suggests
there is a fair amount of freedom when it comes to writing a poem like this.
Free verse can rhyme or not, it can have as many lines or stanzas as the poet
wants, and it can be about anything you like!

Literary Devices
a. Anaphora describes a poem that repeats the same phrase at the beginning of
each line. Sometimes the anaphora is a central element of the poem’s
construction; other times, poets only use anaphora in one or two stanzas, not
the whole piece.
Consider “The Delight Song of Tsoai-talee” by N. Scott Momaday.
I am a feather on the bright sky
I am the blue horse that runs in the plain
b. A conceit is, essentially, an extended metaphor. Which, when you think about
it, it’s kind of stuck-up to have a fancy word for an extended metaphor, so a
conceit is pretty conceited, don’t you think?
In order for a metaphor to be a conceit, it must run through the entire poem and
be the poem’s central device.
c. REPETITION- Strategic repetition of certain phrases can reinforce the core
of your poem.
Last but not least among the topliterary devices in poetry, repetition is key.
We’ve already seen repetition in some of the aforementioned poetic devices,
like anaphora and conceit. Still, repetition deserves its own special mention.

d. INTERNAL & END RHYME

When you think about poetry, the first thing you probably think of is “rhyme.”
Yes, many poems rhyme, especially poetry in antiquity. However,
contemporary poetry largely looks down upon poetry with strict rhyme
schemes, and you’re far more likely to see internal rhyming than end rhyming.

e. ALLITERATION- Alliteration is a powerful, albeit subtle, means of

controlling the poem’s mood.
One of the more defining sound devices in poetry, alliteration refers to the
succession of words with similar sounds. For example: this sentence, so
assiduously steeped in “s” sounds, was sculpted alliteratively.

f. CONSONANCE & ASSONANCE

Along with alliteration, consonance and assonance share the title for most
important sound devices in poetry. Alliteration refers specifically to the sounds
at the beginning: consonance and assonance refer to the sounds within words.
Technically, alliteration is a form of consonance or assonance, and both can
coexist powerfully on the same line.
Consonance refers to consonant sounds, whereas assonance refers to vowel
sounds. You are much more likely to read examples of consonance, as there are
many more consonants in the English alphabet, and these consonants are more
highly defined than vowel sounds. Though assonance is a tougher poetic sound
device, it still shows up routinely in contemporary poetry.

In fact, we’ve already seen examples of assonance in our section on internal

rhyme! Internal rhymes often require assonance for the words to sound similar.
To refer back to “The Raven,” the first line has assonance with the words
“dreary,” “weak,” and “weary.” Additionally, the third line has consonance with
 “nodded, nearly napping.”
These poetic sound devices point towards one of two sounds: euphony or
cacophony.

A Summer Poem for Baguio by Luchie Maranan
As the car was winding down Zigzag Road
One sizzling afternoon
I gazed at smoke billowing, spiraling up the sky from a
distant mountain
Green turning brown turning gray turning black, signaling
that summer has begun
Defying the month of preventing fire.
It raged ‘til evening
Fanned by the gathering winds,
Scarring and defacing a mountainside.
Folks will wait for the birth of new undergrowth,
As cycles of the earth will find a way,
And they shall have new lessons then again.
As the car was zooming home through expressways
That sleepy evening
News leaped out from Facebook’s walls
That blazes lit the market place,
Like runaways held a maniacal feast, licked and gobbled
up rows
And rows of local stalls and fruits of toil
Fanning hot whispers and speculations of schemes and
vile intents
But these were doused by brave deeds
And iron will to start all over again,
Wary of blueprints from planners up the hills.
How could the biting cold turn overnight to a season of
boiling rage
And leave mortals in awe and mindful prayers?

 This city of celebrations and contradictions
Gasped, then mourned to seek reasons why
A lost child had found her way at the edge of hope and
plunged into
The darkness of her soul.
Time unfolds with tenderness but also knows how to wound
our indifference
As we gazed at the washed pavement
Where parades and deaths are watched
With glee and glitz or grief and gloom.
But summer soothes this city well
That heals from deep wounds.
We who are left bereft, bothered and bewildered turn our
chosen brew
And break bread in the worst and best times
And ponder this city of confused seasons.
We are seasoned survivors who sing
We are weathered wanderers who write
We are lovers of this city that hurts and heals,
It is our home of perpetual affliction and affection.
