Figurative Language

Poets are descriptive-ish in their poems. They try to make you feel as if you're experiancing what they write. They use personification, metaphors, similes, onomatopia, idioms, hyperbole, and alliteration. Poets write what they experiance, what they feel, what they see, what they wish/want to do. Poets are descriptive to try to and pull the reader in, like you. Poets write to try to compare life to nature, or something like that; to try to make it stuck in your head to become a memory. Poets write to make themselves and the reader feel free. Poets are known or unknown, there are poets all around. Spreading lyrical words without a sound. This is what poets do. So when you're taught figurative language, try to embrace the poet in you.
