Writing craft

Poetic devices

Iyaipu (End Rhyme / Epiphora)

Malarae un vaasam azhagae / Mazhaiyae un saaral azhagae

The repetition of the word 'azhagae' (beauty) at the end of consecutive lines creates a melodic rhythm and emphasizes the theme of universal beauty.

Monai (Initial Rhyme / Alliteration)

Nilaavae vaa vaa vaa / Nillaamal nee vaa…

The repetition of the initial consonant sound 'N' ('Nilaavae' and 'Nillaamal') adds rhythmic harmony to the opening refrain.

Metaphor

Annaparavai neethaanae

The listener is compared to the mythical 'Annaparavai' (swan), which is believed to separate milk from water, symbolizing the human ability to filter out sorrow and accept pure joy.
