Metaphor- It is like a simile but the comparison is direct.
eg:- She is a rose
Onomatopoeia: The sounds of things are expressed through words.
eg: The clicking of her high heels.
Alliteration- The first consonant sounds of words are repeated.
eg: The long and languid ordeal.
Repetition- The words are repeated for a poetic effect.
eg: On and on the rain will fall.
Hyperbole- Exaggeration of ideas
Eg- She cried for thousand nights.
He was the happiest man in the world.
