I was leading a class discussion about poetry and called on a student who had raised his hand to comment on the figurative language in the poem.
"The first paragraph has personification," he noted.
"Stanza," I corrected him.
"And the second paragraph has metaphor," he continued.
"Stanza!" I repeated.
He jumped to his feet, a bit rattled. "The second paragraph also has rhyme," he added shakily.
"STANZA!" I said.
"I am!" he told me. "I am!"
