Example
from a poem

How the
device
shapes the
poem (author
intent and/or
reader
interpretation
)

Space to
think how
youd like to
use it

Includes a
description
that
incorporates
sound being
made

He screams
these poems,
screaming
out the
words/
like they
were teeth
he no longer
needed or
cared for

The
description
creates a
sense of
desperation
and despair.
It seems as if
the speaker
is desperate
to be heard
as he recites
these
poems-- its
loud and
abrasive

In my own
work, Id like
to further
emotion and
mood by
implementing
auditory
imagery. It
helps add to
the senses.
