"wealth" by langston hughes

from christ to ghandi
appears this truth—
st. francis of assisi
proves it, too:
goodness becomes grandeur
surpassing might of kings.
halos of kindness
brighter shine
than crowns of gold,
and brighter
than rich diamonds
sparkles
the simple dew
of love.

my
structure:

- form - descriptive poem

- sonnet - has 14 lines

sound:

- enjambment is used since it has us read the poem in a type of way and creates a flow to the poem.

- alliteration is another one ("goodness becomes grandeur", " kindness") this causes us to compare the two contrasting thoughts.

- assonance - repetition of vowel sounds. repetition of the word "brighter" - increases the idea of love/kindness.

figurative language:

- metaphors: "halos of kindness" "the simple dew / of love", both emphasise the worth and simplicity of kindness/love, making them seem both godly and natural.

- allusions to biblical/religious figures who have connotations with kindness (especially to the weak or vulnerable)

- imagery associated with wealth (gold, diamonds) highlights the contrast between worldly materialism and more ethereal virtues.
