This time, let’s make use of the lines from the poem entitled “First a
Poem Must be Magical” by Jose Garcia Villa to identify the point
of comparison between lines.

First, a poem must be magical,

Then musical as a sea-gull.

wonder. In the second line, the poem is musical as a sea-gull because
like the sound of a sea-gull, it has rhythm and rhyme.
 It must be slender as a bell,
And it must hold fire as well

must be balanced, not exaggerated and at the same time not dull. The

light those who read it and boost their spirit.
