Symbol

Definition: Something that represents something else

Example:
"One perfect Rose" ~ by Dorothy Parker, 1926
A single flower he sent me, since we met.
All tenderly his messenger he chose;
Deep-hearted, pure, with scented dew still wet--
One perfect rose.
I knew the language of the floweret;
"My fragile leaves," it said, "his hear enclose."
Love long has taken for his amulet
One perfect rose.
Why is it no one ever sent me yet
One perfect limousine, do you suppose?
Ah no, it's always just my luck to get
One perfect rose.

Explanation: To make the poem more interesting and to let the readers think about the poem after reading it. The readers will have to find out the meaning of the symbol in the poem, and it is easy to remember.
