Poetic devices

Today in Room 5 we explored the definitions and examples of eight different poetic devices - tools to help us with reading and writing poetry.  We discovered:

Alliteration - Repetition of words all with the same beginning sounds, e.g. 'Polly planted plenty of pretty pansies.'
Personification - A figure of speech in which objects are given human qualities e.g. 'The sun played peek-a-boo with the clouds.'
Metaphor - A figure of speech in which things are compared by stating one thing is another, e.g. 'The clouds are cotton balls in the sky.'
Simile - A figure of speech in which things are compared using the words 'like' or 'as', e.g. 'The surface of the water looked as smooth as glass.'
Rhyme - Words that have the same ending sounds, e.g. 'The tiny bird in the tree, was singing songs just for me.'
Onomatopoeia - Words that sound like the objects or actions they refer to, e.g. 'A pesky mosquito buzzed around my head.'
Exaggeration (Hyperbole) - Where we make things sound like they are bigger or better than they really are, e.g. 'The firefly's light was as bright as the sun.'
Repetition - Emphasising a word by repeating it over and over again, e.g. 'The waves pounded and pounded and pounded against the shore.'

Then we wrote our own examples of some of these:

"I jumped off the Sky Tower and I survived.", an exaggeration by Brayden, Joseph, Lina and Letele

"Louis, Devesh and Caitlin are so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so epicly awesome.", a repetition (or is it an exaggeration?) by Louis, Devesh and Caitlin

"Miss Molly Moon made me a mandarin macaroon.", a rhyming alliteration by Lucy, Nicole and Reuben

"The volcano's lava was as hot as the sun.", a simile with exaggeration by Navjot, Isaac and Serkan

"Johnson joyfully juggled jiggling jellies.", an alliteration by Johnson, Bella and Rosie

"I saw a tiger driving a lamborghini.", an exaggeration by Sophia, Turou and Yami

"The boy ran as fast as Ussain Bolt.", a simile with exaggeration by Tiloni, Maelys and Yang Yang.

"The chair groaned as someone sat on it.", a personification by Tiloni, Maelys and Yang Yang.

"The man was as fat as Kim.Com.", a simile by Siniva, Caitlyn, Finn and Charlie.

Now your challenge for this evening's home learning, Room 5: Have a go at coming up with your own example of one of these poetic devices.  Submit it as a comment, but don't tell us what sort of device it is.  We'll identify them together later.
