Three types:
- Simile ("Fast as a cheetah")
- Personification ("The wind sings words of support")
- Imagery (visual: "I run through the field"; auditory: "sings")
Analysis (personification):
Calling the wind a singer gives nature human, supportive qualities. That makes the scene feel comforting and encouraging—the speaker’s speed isn’t just physical, it’s emotionally boosted by the world around them. The personification also creates an audible image (you can “hear” the support), which strengthens the poem’s mood of confident movement and makes the reader feel more connected to the speaker’s experience.
