I chose the poem “Fast Break” because it is about basketball and i play it and think it is a great sport. This poem is a narrative which means that it tells a story in which this poem does tell a story. The poem includes many modern words and includes anaphora . Anaphora is when there is a repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of a line. “Fast Break” starts off with “and” in many lines which can be counted as anaphora.
“Fast Break” by Edward Hirsch, includes a couple of similes including, “from the air like a cherished possession”. This is a simile because it includes the word “like”, and the definition in my own words of simile is a comparison of two unlike things using the words like or as. This poem includes no rhyme whatsoever
