Figurative Language - Poems (2)

Hi hi again,
Hope that you have watched the video i posted previously:)
The five most common uses of figurative language are: Hyperbole, Personification, Metaphor, Simile and Symbolism.
Hyperbole simply means exaggerating statements.
Personification means to take up a human feature or action.
Metaphor means directly comparing seemingly unrelated subjects with or without using the words 'like', 'as' of 'than'.
Simile is just like metaphor, except that it uses the words 'like', 'as' or 'then' to explicitly relate two subjects.
Symbolism is using a representative figure to carry additional meaning.

So. here is the poem that i quite like.

Whosever room this is should be ashamed!
His underwear is hanging on the lamp.
His raincoat is there in the overstuffed chair,
And the chair is becoming quite mucky and damp.
His workbook is wedged in the window,
His sweater's been thrown on the floor.
His scarf and one ski are beneath the TV,
And his pants have been carelessly hung on the door.
His books are all jammed in the closet,
His vest has been left in the hall.
A lizard named Ed is asleep in his bed,
And his smelly old sock has been stuck to the wall.
Whosever room this is should be ashamed!
Donald or Robert or Willie or--
Huh? You say it's mine? Oh, dear,
I knew it looked familiar!

How are the figurative language used in the poem?
HYPERBOLE --> In line two and the forth line from the bottom, 'should be ashamed!' is repeated. The author is trying to describe and exaggerate that someone should be ashamed. And in the second last line, 'oh dear' is written.
Personification --> Personification is used in this poem as the author named the lizard Ed.

Why i like this poem?
Basically , and to be frank, My room is also similar to the room that the author described in the poem. However, the author describes it in a very interesting way such that the reader is interested to read even more. I did not expect the author to really list each and every thing in the room. The poem concluded, or should I say ended, in a very interesting and interactive way. I guess that this intention is to leave a lasting impression in the readers mind. It is interactive in a way that the author asks the reader a question. he threw the ball back into our net. I guess that in his mind, he should be thinking something like 'Ha ha, now it is your turn to answer my question and stop reading!' :) This also injects a little laughter and humor into the poem as well as the ending. These should be the main reason leading to why I like this poem.

That's all folks!
