constructs the meaning of their poem. One literary device that is heavily used in poems are rhyme scheme.

sonnet, although it has a rhyme scheme similar to a Shakespearean, which allows him to display a contrast between the images the The similar rhyme schemes of the two sonnets allow for clear organization of the speaker’s ideas and support these ideas through comparison and connection. Both poems use or essentially use a Shakespearean rhyme scheme to provide rhythm for their sonnets, while adding extra emphasis to the topics presented throughout them.

Summary In my creative piece, “There’s A Monster In My Bed. Don’t You See? Don’t You See?” illustrates an animal story in the form of a poem with 26 stanzas and each stanza consisting of 4 lines. The focus of my poem comes from the influence of Beatrix Potter’s The Tale of Peter Rabbit and Dr. Seuss’s The Cat in the Hat. Using Potter’s and Seuss’s texts as my inspiration, I established a narrative that combines a mixture of Potter’s and Seuss’s language and style to convey an animal story. Similar
