Writing craft

Poetic devices

Iyaipu (End Rhyme)

Anjara maasam following ... Paarvaigal mattum borrowing ... Appappa ippa outgoing

The lines end with rhythmic, rhyming English words ('following', 'borrowing', 'outgoing') creating an appealing flow.

Monai (Initial Alliteration)

Neengaa niyabagam vandha

The repetition of the 'N' sound ('Neengaa', 'niyabagam') creates initial phonetic harmony.

Metaphor

Missed call-aai maathidathae

Compares being ignored or taken lightly in love to a brief, unanswered 'missed call'.
