What types of figurative language do poets use to get a reader make comparison?

* Simile: A simile compares two things using "like" or "as." For example, "My love is like a red, red rose."

* Metaphor: A metaphor compares two things without using "like" or "as." For example, "My love is a rose."

* Personification: Personification gives human qualities to an animal, object, or idea. For example, "The wind whispered through the trees."

* Hyperbole: Hyperbole is an exaggeration. For example, "I'm so hungry, I could eat a horse."

* Alliteration: Alliteration is the repetition of the same consonant sound at the beginning of a series of words. For example, "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers."
