Blessings of Growth Leon Enriquez’s “Blessings” is a fantastic poem with a very different wordplay pattern to it. The word that is used to end each line is also the word sued to start each line, “Dawns to a play, Play that fits morn.” for example. The poem is quite confusing, and looks like a lot of repeated words that sound sophisticated, but there is a strong meaning in such a hard criteria of beginning each line with the word of the last line.
Though the plot of the stories differs, one concept persists in both texts

Her poem entitled “Rumpelstiltskin” uses figurative language such as similes and allusions to enhance the imagery of her poems and transform these short stories into confessional poetry.
