Symbol ©





DEFINITION
When something represents something else. Can be used in a metaphor.


EXAMPLE

Horizons where we look,
a chin bowed down to knee.
The shadows on a gentle brook,
to be mistook for trees.



SIGNIFICANCE
Symbols bring to a poem its creativity and the meaning of the poem can be as colorful as how the readers imagine and interpret the poem. The readers' imagination can be very delightful with symbols we use.
