Poetic devices
Double Entendre / Wordplay
“Mei ezhuththum uyir ezhuththum / Oru mozhiyil saeraatho”
Vaali brilliantly plays on Tamil grammar terms where 'Mei' means body/consonants and 'Uyir' means soul/vowels, symbolizing the unification of body and soul through love just as consonants and vowels combine to form words.
Simile (Upamai)
“Maassum vannam pol ival kannam”
The lover's cheeks are explicitly compared to a flawless pure color ('maassum vannam pol') using the comparison word 'pol'.
Monai (Initial Rhyme/Alliteration)
“Moochukku moochu oru nooru / Muthangal aadum mugam paaru”
Repetition of the 'Mu' sound at the beginning of consecutive lines creates melodic rhythm.
Metaphor (Uruvagam)
“Vadaa malaraai unai kandaen”
The protagonist metaphors the lover as an 'unfading flower' ('vadaa malar'), signifying timeless beauty compared to ordinary fleeting blossoms.
