"A "Dream Deffered"

1. The one metaphor in the poem is, "does it fester like a sore, and then run?". The position is good, it is in the top of the middle and it comes in right after a few simiies, and is then followed by a few similies. Its effectiveness is very high. It stands out from the rest of the poem because it is the one metahphor and it is the most powerful line because it is a metaphor and not a similie among a poem full of them.

"Song of Powers"

4. The final stanza says that the power of nature is only what you make it. It says that paper snuffs rock, that is metaphorical to "rock, paper, scissors". Psychical power is destructive and affirmative. It is hard to select just one to use because psychical power is more complicated then it seems. Yes it does desetruct things psychically but also mentally.
