Writing craft
Poetic devices
Iyaibu (End Rhyme)
“Paal thamizh paal / Enum ninaipaal / Idhazh thudipaal”
Almost every descriptive line concludes with the suffix '-paal' (e.g., ninaipaal, thudipaal, pidhipaal, mathipaal), creating a unique rhythmic cadence throughout the verse.
Uruvagam (Metaphor)
“Muthu siripaal / Mullai viripaal”
Comparing speech/Tamil to milk ('Paal thamizh'), smile to pearls ('Muthu siripaal'), and beauty to a blooming jasmine flower ('Mullai viripaal').
Monai (Initial Alliteration)
“Muthu siripaal / Mullai viripaal”
Matching initial consonant/vowel sounds across lines for melodic flow.
