  8. Metaphor Taking two unlike things and saying that one is the other. Examples- A. When she gets up, her hair is a tangled bird’s nest. B. He is a bottomless pit, eating everything in sight.

  9. Simile Comparing two unlike things with words such as “like”, “as”, than”, or “resembles”. Examples- He runs like the wind. He is as sly as a fox. C. Muhammad Ali stings like a bee.

  10. Imagery The use of descriptive words to appeal to the reader’s senses- Painting a picture in the mind. Example- a. The reader can smell the coffee brewing b. The reader can hear or feel the wind blowing. c. They can smell cookies in the oven.

  11. Hyperbole Is an extreme exaggeration. Examples- I drove 1,000 miles to the store. b. She talked my ear off.

  12. Alliteration The repetition of the initial consonant sound in words that are close together. Examples- a. Bobby burst a big balloon. b. Timmy told tall tales taller than tall. c. Fat Frank Fed Fish on Friday.

  13. Onomatopoeia Sound words. The word creates a sound. Examples- POW! Sizzle Bang! Hiss SNAP, CRACKLE, POP BOOM!

  14. Personification Giving human qualities to a non-human object. Examples- A. My Pencil walked away. B. The branches danced across the ground. C. The cool, crisp air tickled my nose.

  15. Repetition repeating words, phrases, & entire lines to establish a predictable rhythm that draws the reader into the poem’s groove. Example- From O Christmas Tree, author unknown- O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree Thy leaves are so unchanging; O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, Thy leaves are so unchanging.

  16. External Rhyme Words at the end of the line rhyme. Examples- (from Julia’s clothes, by Robert Herrick) Whenas in silks my Julia goes, Then, then, methinks, how sweetly flows The liquefaction of her clothes.

  17. Internal Rhyme Rhymes that occur at the beginning or middle of a poetic line. Rhyming occurs on the same line. Example- There are strange things done in the midnight sun by the men who moil for gold (by Robert Service) B. …and croon their blues to an amusedmoon… (by Patricia Smith) C. Sister, my sister, O fleet sweet swallow. (by Algernon Charles Swinburne)

  18. Idiom An idiom is a phrase that has a special meaning different from the actual meaning of the words. A. A Blessing In Disguise Something good that isn't recognized at first. B. A Chip On Your Shoulder Being upset for something that happened in the past. C. A Dime A Dozen Anything that is common and easy to get
