Symbol

Definition: an object that has a deeper meaning than its literal one

Example: a dove can be a symbol of peace

Explanantion: Symbols are important to poetry because they can make your poems more interesting. Instead of being too straight forward, the reader can interpret the poem in their own way. So, the reader would be more fascinated with the poem. Also, it can define an object or idea with more depth.
