POETRY - Poetic Devices

EQ: What is figurative language?

• Definition - Figurative language is language that uses words or expressions with a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation. When a writer uses literal language, he or she is simply stating the facts as they are. ... Figurative language is very common in poetry.
