5. F igure of speech is a phrase or word having different meanings than its literal meanings. It conveys meaning by identifying or comparing one thing to another, which has connotation or meaning familiar to the audience. That is why it is helpful in creating vivid rhetorical effect.

6. Simile - It is a type of comparison between things or objects by using “as” or “like.” My heart is like a singing bird Whose nest is in a water’d shoot; My heart is like an apple-tree My heart is like a rainbow shell… ( “A Birthday”  by Christina Rossetti)

14. Let’s Remember This Poems are literary pieces of writing written in lines. They are meant to be listened to like music. They usually have sound devices and figurative language that add beauty and artistry in it. Writers use sound devices to emphasize the words through the skillful use of sounds within the lines in poems. Common types of sound devices are onomatopoeia, alliteration, assonance, and consonance. Writers also use figurative language to add color and interest to the literacy piece of writing, and to awaken the imagination of the readers. Using figurative language makes the reader or the listener use their imagination and understand the literary piece much more than just plain words.
