Poets and the Figures of Speech

Poets have ways with words,
Dominate them like Ladies and Lords;
They use exaggerations of hyperbole,
Or address a thing an abstraction with apostrophe.

Some would play sounds alike with alliteration,
Others would prefer personification,
Or have indirect reference to art with allusion,
Or have emotional response with exclamation.

At times they compare by simile,
Or convey opposite meanings with irony;
And so, they indeed have ways with words
And dominate them like Ladies and Lords.
