Soothing as Night Winds are


By: Natividad Marquez

Love is gentle, love is quiet


Like any distant star;

Love is beauty, love is music


Soothing as night winds are.

Love is patient and unselfish,


Divine, true, neutral, fair—

Love is ageless and immortal,


Lost love is just somewhere…

And the heart that love abandons


Nurses a tender scar
Softly stabbing, and yet sweetly

Soothing as night winds are.

 Message of the poem:

Love is the thing that puts magic into our lives; it’s the thing that makes life amazing. It can help
you achieve greatness and it can also cause you to lose everything. Just like anything in life that you
love, you should throw yourself in to love with abandon. That’s what makes love beautiful.

Literary Device:

 Personification is a figure of speech in which a thing – an idea or an animal – is given human


attributes.
Example: love is unselfish

 Sensory Images/ Imagery are what poets use to draw readers into a sensory experience. It
provides us with mental snapshots that appeal to our senses of sight, sound, taste, touch, and
smell.
Example: love is gentle (touch)

 Simile is a figure of speech made with “as” or “like”.

 Metaphor is a comparison that is made directly or less directly. But in any case without pointing
out a similarity by using words such as “as” or “like”.

 Rhyme is a repetition of similar sounds in the final stressed syllables (and any following
syllables) of two or more words.
