Symbol



Definition: A thing that represent something else, like an idea, object, or a character.

Example:      The healthy tree
                        Swayed in the wind
                        And lived many years with the glass half full
                        But, eventually it came to its death
                        Now, in the afterlife, its on a marble gravestone
                        Now, it symbolizes the life of the person below it
                        The tree lived such a blissful life
                        As did the person-
                        The symbol represents the life of a fulfilled, peaceful ..  


Significance: Most poetry have symbols that represent something, like a thunderstorm might represent bad day, or a sunny day can be use as a lucky/or happy day. It is very important in poetry because it can be use to represent a deeper meaning.
