Moore uses imagery, diction, and metaphor to emphasize that poetry is necessary for people to have an outlet.

I can see where Socrates finds the premises and how he uses them to get his point across. The one premise that I would refute says “Poetry does not have the same discipline throughout (532d2)”, because I believe that poetry is the discipline of combining the art of language with human reality. All poets and every poem does this same thing so…
