This document defines and provides examples of six poetic devices: rhyme, simile, metaphor, personification, onomatopoeia, and hyperbole. Rhyme involves words with similar ending sounds, simile uses "like" or "as" to compare two unlike things, and metaphor directly states one thing is another. Personification gives human qualities to non-living objects, onomatopoeia imitates sounds, and hyperbole greatly exaggerates to emphasize a point or mood. These devices help poets create rhythm, meaning, and feeling in poems.
