Symbols

Definition: Something or someone that represents an idea that is more than the symbol itself.

Example: I'd close my eyes and start to see,
Which was not yet in front of me.

Ill start to type, form a rhyme.
Then continue with my pouting.
These beats I form start to mourn


And show a cried out ego
Hear my tempo slow to time
Then ill march on forward proudly
You've seen my tears, you've heard me cry
But now I'm done with trying


Importance: Symbolism is important to poetry because it can supplement the poem's feeling or mood without directly stating it. It can make the poem more sophisticated.
