Just used Rudy Francisco's "To the Girl Who Works at Starbuck's" in class today. It's an ode and the poet makes use of analogy, personification, synesthesia, parallel structure, simile, metaphor, and chiasmus among other literary devices. There was little/no profanity with the exception of a "G-Damn." I paired it with Neil Hilborn's "OCD." "OCD" does have one F-word, but the form so perfectly fits the message, my seniors didn't bother with the language.
