The song is how to love by lil Wayne. This song is more like a poem in many different ways. The way that the rapper (lil Wayne) sang the lyrics of the song makes it more like a poem. The song is like a slow on going poem. A love song it is, in fact, every sentence in the song expresses how the rapper feels. It’s for example like the stanzas in a poem. If you take it and analyze it piece by piece you can see the similarities that it has with a poem. How is it different from a poem? Well, other than the musical devices being playing there are no differences from a poem. It is so much of a poem that if you read the lyrics without listening to the song you might think it was written by a poet. Many poetic devices can be found in this song. For instance, repetition is a common one. “How to love” was repeated a lot times during the song. All through the poem, line by line words rhyme with each other. This is also a poetic device that is in the song. There is also simile where he said “so fly like a blessing” he is comparing how the character of the song feels with blessing. All of these poetic devices brought the potential of the song and touches the heart of the listener and reader.
