Apostrophe

compound complex

In poetry, an apostrophe is a figure of speech in which the poet
addresses an absent person, an abstract idea, or a thing. Apostrophes
are found throughout poetry, but they’re less common since the early
20th century. Poets may apostrophize a beloved, the Muse, God, love,
time, or any other entity that can’t respond in reality.

Thanks, Tara!
Triple posts for emphasis.
This will be covered in tomorrow's Senior Citizens Creative Writing class. I send out a monthly notice of what we're to study; tomorrow it will be Parataxis, Apostrophe, and Janus words. Then, we do a gentle critique of members' writing.
They love it!
