A symbol in poetry is a concrete object that represents an abstract idea.
East of Eden by John Steinbeck, a wealth is passed through generations of a family and represents corruption and evil since whoever owns the wealth is usually a corrupt person.
We used symbols in poetry to tell the lessons also represent something
Lines: a line of verse that has the full number of syllables
The warping night air having brought the boom
Of an owl’s voice into her darkened room,
We tell the wakened child that all she heard
Was an odd question from a forest bird,
Asking of us, if rightly listened to,
“Who cooks for you?” and then “Who cooks for you?”
We used lines to let the reader know how much syllables in one line.
