Summarize this article in one sentence.
More than in any other form of writing, diction and word choice matter in poetry. Try using descriptive words that paint a more elaborate picture. For example, you could say that it was a dark, shadowy night instead of just that the night was dark. This is much more descriptive and gives the reader a more accurate picture of what you mean. Metaphors directly compare two things based on similarities by equating them as the same. In his play As You Like It, William Shakespeare famously says, All the world's a stage, / And all the men and women merely players: / They have their exits and their entrances. This is a metaphor that compares the action of real life with the action of a theatrical play. Shakespeare says that world is a stage and all the people are actors, not merely that they are like actors. Analogies are comparisons between two things that intend to help the reader understand a situation or event. Usually, authors compare a known thing with a lesser known thing to help the reader understand the lesser known thing. Unlike metaphors that compare a thing by saying it is another thing, analogies say that something is like something else. For example, saying she was as quiet as a mouse is an analogy that lets the reader know something about the subject, she, by relating a fact about her to a fact everyone knows (that mice are quiet).
Pay attention to your word choice. Implement metaphors. Use analogies.
