Figurative Language in Poetry

Table MannersThe Goops are gluttonous and rude,They gug and gumble with their food;They throw their crumbs upon the floor,And at dessert they tease for more;They will not eat their soup and breadBut like to gobble sweets insteadAnd this is why I oft decline,When I am asked to stay and dine!

-Gelett Burgess

LullabyeSleep, baby , sleep

The large stars are the sheep;The little stars are lambs, I guess;

The gentle moon’s the shepherdess:Sleep, baby, sleep.

A LimerickThere was a young girl on a towerWho looked just as fresh as a flower.Her hair was like silk,Her skin smooth as milk,But her breath made the strongest knight

cower.

The RamOn my way to Hampton,One fine Autumn day,I met the biggest ramThat was ever fed on hay.

This ram was fat in fore and aft.He stood ‘bout ten yards high,The wool upon his back.Reached way up to the sky.

The space between his horns,Was so far no one could reach,He could prob’ly eat a mountain,But I handed him my peach.
