Dear Bill, I dawdled answering your letter.<\/p>\n
My punishment\u2014the postal rates were raised.<\/p>\n
The mail piled on this table has me fazed.<\/p>\n
I think of it as clearing up the clutter.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s somebody I like better and better<\/p>\n
\u2014she\u2019s someone else\u2019s lover, though, not mine.<\/p>\n
She hides her blushes in her leonine<\/p>\n
hair, that was more like tinsel than like butter<\/p>\n
when I ruffled it\u2014the feminine<\/p>\n
of avuncular. She\u2019s twenty-five,<\/p>\n
but age is not the muddle of the matter<\/p>\n
whose damp wings are unfolding now, alive<\/p>\n
out of the chrysalis that I felt shatter<\/p>\n
when I kissed her till heat split my spine.<\/p>\n
\u25cf Scan and analyze each line. \u25cf In bullet form, make note of 10 literary devices<\/p>\n
the poet uses to convey meaning.<\/p>\n

“The 25th of February”<\/p>\n
Dear Mr. Bill, I took my time responding to your letter.<\/p>\n
My punishment was an increase in postal charges.<\/p>\n
I’m taken aback by the amount of mail on this table.<\/p>\n
It’s like clearing out the clutter, in my opinion.<\/p>\n
I’m getting to like someone more and more.<\/p>\n
\u2014she’s not my lover, but she’s someone else’s.<\/p>\n
She conceals her blushes with her leonine.<\/p>\n
Hair that looked more like tinsel than butter<\/p>\n
When I ruffled it, it became more feminine.<\/p>\n
of avuncular. She\u2019s twenty-five,<\/p>\n
but age is not the muddle of the matter<\/p>\n
whose damp wings are unfolding now, alive<\/p>\n

when I kissed her till heat split my spine.<\/p>\n
