Fire ran horrified
from its ashes.

In the afterglow,
cinematic shadows fled

from flesh and blood.
Scars appeared,

followed years later
by their wounds.

Blinks of red
dinged relentlessly,

but there was
nowhere to stop

for the train
pulling its wreckage.

Use in the Poem: In stanza 2 and the first line of stanza 3, the author says "In the afterglow, cinematic shadows fled from flesh and blood." The words are nice to say and add ambiguity as you say them.

Effect: As the reader, the use of euphony takes the somewhat morose feeling of the end of the sentence and smooths it out.]]> 2018-12-03 01:02:15 UTC https://padlet.com/griffin_cloney/tj6wv1wfuo8x/wish/310249730 Meanings of Words griffin_cloney https://padlet.com/griffin_cloney/tj6wv1wfuo8x/wish/310251596 Personification - Attributing human like characteristics to an inanimate object, animal, or abstract idea.

Use in the Poem: In stanza 1, the author says "Fire ran horrified from its ashes." He is giving the fire the human characteristic of running from its ashes.

The speaker's attitude seems accepting of what's happening. When the author says "Scars appeared, followed years later by their wounds." it sounds like the speaker very analyitical and understanding of what has happened.]]> 2018-12-03 01:34:42 UTC https://padlet.com/griffin_cloney/tj6wv1wfuo8x/wish/310254146
