PREFACE
Dear Colleagues
This Grade 12 ENGHL Poetry Study Guide was compiled by putting all the resources
that were made available on the Resource Portal, ‘under one roof’. The primary purpose
was to present a range of analyses related to the NSC poems.
It would be truly appreciated if all technical glitches are brought to the light so that
corrections could be affected on the master copy.
Finally, in all humility and gratitude, full credit and acknowledgement are given to the
following individuals who laid the foundation for this Study Guide:
• Ms Carlien Buss
• Ms ASM Haffejee
With best wishes

POETIC DEVICES
FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE
Language that is not meant to be taken literally, or word for word
IMAGERY / SENSORY LANGUAGE
• The use of language to create mental images and sensory impressions for emotional
effect and intensity
• Example—
He could hear his world crashing down when he heard the news about her.
********************
SIMILE
• a comparison of two things that are essentially different, using the words like or as
• Example
O my love is like a red, red rose
(rom Robert Burn’s “A Red, Red Rose”)
********************
METAPHOR
• a subtle comparison in which an author describes a person or thing using words that are not
meant to be taken literally.
• Examples—
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely
players:
They have their exits and their
entrances
(from As You Like It by William Shakespeare)
********************
EXTENDED METAPHOR
• a metaphor introduced and then further developed throughout all or part of a literary work,
especially a poem—comparison can be made to something else not mentioned in the poem
*****
PERSONIFICATION

human qualities
• Example—
o Necessity is the mother of all invention.
********************
HYPERBOLE
