Writing craft

Poetic devices

Uvamai (Simile)

Un nizhal pol

The lyrics use 'pol' (like) to compare protective devotion to a shadow ('nizhal pol') and an eyelid ('kannimai pol').

Uruvagamb (Metaphor)

Neeye thaan en vaazhvin thoorigai

The beloved is directly called the paintbrush ('thoorigai') of life, symbolizing how they bring color and art to the speaker's existence.

Moni (Alliteration)

Kannimai pol / Unai kaathida munaivaen naan

Repetition of the 'K' consonant sound across words like 'Kannimai' and 'Kaathida' creates a soothing rhythmic quality.
