Poetry Terms: Speaker ♥

 
DEFINITION
The poem's narrator or the first person of the poem


EXAMPLE
I am sharp and focused
I wonder what the camera really sees
I hear the buzzing bee
I see flowers in early morning light
I want to stop light in a box
I am sharp and focused
 

SIGNIFICANCE
When the poem is in a first-person perspective, it'll be absolutely easier for us to understand the poem, especially the feeling of the character. Not only in poetry but in any type of literature, it is always easy to know the characters' feelings if it is told by a first-person perspective.
