👉 Shamocking is a term used in the context of literature, particularly poetry and prose. It refers to a type of poetic structure where the speaker or writer alternates between describing the appearance of a thing with its actual state (the "sham"), and describing an image or thought of that same thing. In shammocky, this means the poet alternately describes the appearance of a thing in its actual state ("sham") and the idea of that same thing ("shamocking").
