Samples of Types of Figurative Language and a Sound Device

Simile:

Poised between going on and back, pulled
Both ways taut like a tight-rope walker,

Now bouncing tiptoe like a dropped ball,
Or a kid skipping rope, come on, come on!…

Taunts them, hovers like an ecstatic bird,
He’s only flirting, crowd him, crowd him,

(The Base Stealer by Robert Francis)

Metaphor:

• The assignment was a breeze. (This implies that the assignment was not difficult.)

Allusion:

• “Don’t act like a Romeo in front of her.” – “Romeo” is a reference to Shakespeare’s Romeo, a passionate lover of Juliet, in “Romeo and Juliet”.

• “This place is like a Garden of Eden.” – This is a biblical allusion to the “garden of God” in the Book of Genesis.

Alliteration:

From Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”

“The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew,
The furrow followed free;
We were the first that ever burst
Into that silent sea.”
