Question

Fast as a cheetah,
I run through the field. The wind
sings words of support

Name the three types of figurative language in the poem.

Answer 1

- Simile — "Fast as a cheetah" (uses "as" to compare the runner to a cheetah).
- Personification — "The wind sings words of support" (the wind is given the human ability to sing and offer support).
- Imagery — the poem evokes sensory impressions of speed and sound (running through the field; the wind singing).
