Some scholars argue that popular song lyrics do not technically qualify as poetry. Write a short passage in which you defend “Stereo Hearts” as a piece of poetry. Be sure to include an examination of at least three poetic techniques as you present your case.

“Stereo hearts” can be considered as a piece of poetry because song lyrics can be considered as modern poetry. Its structure is similar to that of a poetry and it uses poetic techniques, too.

The first poetic technique used is metaphor. “My heart’s a stereo” is a metaphorical statement where the writer has likened his heart to a stereo which is a completely different thing.

Another poetic technique used is hyperbole. “50 pound boom box” is an exaggeration because there is no such boom box as heavy as that weight.

Another poetic techniques is rhyme. “Make me your radio. And turn me up when you feel low” uses rhyme in the ends of its lines.

read this excerpt from “incidents in the life of a slave girl.”

i went about my evening work with trembling steps. mr. flint twice called from his chamber door to inquire why the house was not locked up. i replied that i had not done my work. "you have had time enough to do it," said he. "take care how you answer me! "

i shut all the windows, locked all the doors, and went up to the third story, to wait till midnight. how long those hours seemed, and how fervently i prayed that god would not forsake me in this hour of utmost need! i was about to risk everything on the throw of a die; and if i failed, o what would become of me and my poor children? they would be made to suffer for my fault.

at half past twelve i stole softly down stairs. i stopped on the second floor, thinking i heard a noise. i felt my way down into the parlor, and looked out of the window. the night was so intensely dark that i could see nothing. i raised the window very softly and jumped out. large drops of rain were falling, and the darkness bewildered me. i dropped on my knees, and breathed a short prayer to god for guidance and protection. i groped my way to the road, and rushed towards the town with almost lightning speed.

explanation:

in the sonnet 116 written by william shakespeare we can analyze the symbolism and say that he reuses the idea of love like a guiding star for the sailor.

reading through the poem we find out that in the line 7 there is a metaphor for the lover that is heading through the life events by love itself .
