This is a versification in which You have written about Your caterpillar, who has Your capacity to turn into a butterfly or moth. Indeed, Your poetic structure involves two octaves and eight lines each. In all sixteen verses, though, You have used a variety of rhetorical devices and You have been working with figurative language in order to contribute to the overall effect of this poem by carving out the potential that You have put in all of us. In particular, You have been operating via repetition and imagery in order to clarify Your thematic meaning of each of Your masterpieces. The following explication will further identify the various stylistic elements that You have been employing to make Your message even more clear.
First of all, You have been applying alliteration in both stanzas. In particular, You have been utilizing consonance and assonance in Your metrical composition. Examples of the initial rhyme include but are not limited to one, wind, and which in the fourth line of poetry (4). Similarly, the alliterative morphemes "the" and "true" in the ninth line of verse also illustrate this beginning rhyme that start with the same letter (9). Nonetheless, the morphemic pair "one" and "on" in row four embodies assonance since they begin with coequal vowels (4).
Besides head rhyme, there is perfect and slant rhyme in Your poetic paragraphs. For instance, there are the rhyming words of "day" and "way" in verse lines six plus eight (6 and 8). Likewise, there are the word pairs "it" and "eat" in succession 2-3. Of course, "day" and "way" represent the full rhyme. However, "it" and "eat" are demonstrations of oblique rhyme.
In addition to sonic techniques, there are other sensory experiences such as "a colorful fluttering butterfly" in phrase five along with a couple of metaphors in verse 15. Exemplifications of these tropes are "burst of color" and "flap of wings" (15). Moreover, the latter comparison is a case in point of onomatopoeia (15). On top of this, there is symbolism of the butterfly and the caterpillar. While the fully grown insect symbolizes maturity, the larva stands for latency.
In sum, You have been painting vivid pictures about Your bugs via different literary elements in the event of giving back to the basic message of Your poetry. Through the repetitiveness, You have been creating rhythm and meter so that Your rhymes will have musicality. Not only have You been repeating letters and sounds, Lord. You have also been echoing words, such as "it" in successive lines 2-3. Finally, Your gist of all of Your works of art is that You have placed Your creative potential on the inside of each and every one of us.
