Figure of speech
What's figure of speech?
You use figure of speech every time that you speak
For example, similes, metaphors and hyperbole’s
And it’s a couple more
But, let me run through these
Like saying you light as a feather
That’s a simile
Comparing money to cheddar
That’s a metaphor
And hyperbole is how I have a Ton of homework
And if I don’t do it then I won’t succeed
But if you say trees can breathe or birds can sing
That’s personification
It’s all a figurative language you can’t change it
Its ancient so learn it and maintain it

Figure of speech
I will tell you what I mean
It’s an expression that uses language
In a non-literal way
You don’t exactly mean what you say
Like saying break a leg before performing on a stage
I hope you comprehend what I just said
How about Onomatopoeia BOOM BOOM POW?
Instead of using words
You describe sounds
Can't forget about irony and imagery
Repetion when you have your words on repeat
Listen while I teach
You’re going to get this word
So listen while I preach
That’s a figurative language in case you didn’t know
