Please list at least 10 poetic device and explain them......

1. Repetition

Repetition can be used for full verses, single lines or even just a single word or sound. The ultimate goal is to make something 'stick' better. If there's a main point you're conveying, or a message you want to resonate, try adding some form of repetition to see if you can make it stand out more. 

2. Rhyme & Different Types of Rhymes

Of all the poetic devices, rhyme is far and away my favorite - call it a product of a being a hip hop fan maybe. But I'm going to break this down a little for you. There are numerous types of rhymes that can be used to give your slam poem character - its not just about rhyming the last syllable of two lines. 

3. Alliteration

Alliteration is the phonetic alignment and repeated use of a sound or letter in the first syllable of a word. Alliteration can be used for any combination of two words or more. As a poetic tool, alliteration is one of the oldest, most widely used and effective means of enhancing your poetry. 

4. Metaphor 

I can probably say that until you truly master the art of metaphors, its difficult to call yourself a poet. Metaphors are a figurative means of comparing something to another unrelated entity in order to contrive the full meaning or impact of that something.

5. Assonance

​Similar to alliteration, assonance uses the repetition of a sound. The difference is that assonance is the repetition of a vowel sound. This can be a really fun alternative to rhyme.
