Writing craft
Poetic devices
Monaikkal (Initial Alliteration)
“Aanandha aaraathanai aasaikku aalabanai”
The repetition of the 'Aa' vowel sound across all words creates a euphonic and melodic opening.
Iyaibu (End Rhyme)
“Theeraamalum maaraamalum ennendru paaraamalum”
The recurring '-amalum' suffix creates a fluid rhyming cadence that emphasizes continuation.
Metaphor (Uruvagamm)
“Kaalam iniya paruvaththu kaalam / Ilaigal thulirvidum kolam”
Youth is poetically compared to a sweet season of spring sprouting new leaves.
