Poem using any of the figures of speech?

Answer 1

Pretty words

poets make pretty pets of pretty, docile words:
i love smooth words, like gold- enameled fish
which circle slowly with a silken swish,
and tender ones, like downy- feathered birds:
words shy and dappled, deep- eyed deer in herds,
come to my hand, and playful if I wish,
or purring softly at a silver dish,
blue Persian kitten, fed on cream and curds.
I love bright words, words up and singing early;
words that are luminous in the dark, and sing;
warm lazy words opalescent, cool and pearly,
like midsummer moths, and honied words like bees,
gilded and sticky, with a little sting.
