Poetry Literary Devices Review

Yes! The "b" and "f" sounds are repeated.

No, because beginning sounds are not repeated. However, it is a metaphor! (She's not actually on fire, of course. It's a comparison.)

Alliteration! Lots of "c" sounds at the beginning of words. (Naughty kitty!)

Both!

Alliteration: Life is like (repeat L sound)

Simile: LIKE a box of chocolates (comparison using like/as)

Personification! Sunflowers are being given a human quality: dancing!

Hyperbole! I didn't actually pull a billion weeds, it's an exaggeration.

Simile! Coffee is being compared to lava, using the word "like." It's also hyperbole, since it's an exaggeration, but you didn't have that option :)

Yes! A moon is being given a human trait: smiling. :)

THEMEssage.... the message or lesson behind a story or poem.

"Life can be difficult, but don't give up --it can also be very beautiful!" This is a LESSON or MESSAGE that anyone can learn from.

The appeal to our 5 senses! If a description has to do with seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting or smelling -- it's sensory language (or imagery).

Tone is the emotion or mood of the writing. It can be happy, dark, exciting, sad, etc. Tone is often shown through strong word choice.

Great word choice helps us picture things clearly in our minds and hearts.
