A Pro Discusses Figurative Language

After reading Mariah's poem and thinking about the place of figurative language in modern poetry, I went in search of an article that has some sound advice and discussion of the use of FL.  What I found was this great article by D.A. Powell.  Since so many of the posts have been poetry-related I think it wise that we do some critical reading of poetic form and device.  I would love to see some feedback after reading the article...is this something that is too advanced for us at this point or too simple or just right...pardon the Goldilocks....and for you fiction writers (I know you are out there)  don't despair, we will have some good discussions and articles soon for you too.

    That was long! I couldn't follow some of the concepts in that, but I found the anti-similes, the negatives, very interesting. I might like to experiment with that.
