Poetic techniques

1. A poetic and literary technique that utilizes biting, sharp, or ironic language to mock, ridicule, or express contempt.
3. a poetic technique and figure of speech that directly compares two unrelated things by stating one thing is the other, enhancing imagery and meaning without using "like" or "as".
5. A recurring, noticeable element-such as an image, sound, word, or idea—that appears throughout an artistic, literary, or musical work to develop a theme or mood.
7. A brief, indirect reference to a person, place, thing, or idea of historical, cultural, literary, or political significance that adds meaning without explicit explanation.
9. a technique of placing two or more distinct elements—such as images, characters, or ideas—side-by-side to highlight their differences, create contrast, or evoke a specific emotional response.
11. A poetic device where a sentence, phrase, or clause runs over from one line of poetry to the next without terminal punctuation.

2. A literary device defined by the repetition of the same consonant sounds at the beginning of closely connected words or stressed syllables.
4. A social facade, public image, or character role an individual projects, which often differs from their true, private self.
6. A literary device that compares two distinct, unlike things to create vivid imagery or emphasize a characteristic, using the connector words "like" or "as".
8. a poetic technique using vivid, sensory language to create mental images and evoke emotions in the reader, appealing to sight, sound, smell, taste, or touch.
10. A literary device or rhetorical technique where the intended meaning of words, or the outcome of a situation, is the opposite of what is literally said or expected.
