Poem - A girl

How are the figurative language used in the poem?

This poem uses personification, metaphor, simile and symbolism.

1)Personification-
The tree has entered my hands,
The sap has ascended my arms,
The tree has grown in my breast-
Downwards,

2)Simile-
The branches grow out of me, like arms.

3)Metaphor-
Trees you are,
Moss you are,
You are the wind above them.

4)Symbolism-
The tree and the sap uses symbolism.

Tell us why you like this poem in less than 100 words.

This poem uses lots of figurative language and uses it in almost every sentence. This allows the reader to have the feeling what the author wants to put across to the readers. It talks about the person has not grown up yet and the author has put the message across quite well. I also like this poem as it compares between a person and a tree.
