The Poem Workshop

http://rhetoric.byu.edu/figures/Schemes.htm

An awareness of the techniques used when writing can lead to better writing. Visit the link above for a great website that lists various figures of speech and put them to use in your next poem. There will be some that are familiar, but I’m sure there will be a few that you will find useful.

Write a poem paying very close attention to the schemes that you use. Maybe focus on a particular set, such as schemes of omission or repetition.
