Poetry talks paragraphs:

Hyperbole comes from the Greek term ‘huperbole,’ which means “to throw above.” Hyperbole is a figure of speech and literary device that uses purposeful exaggeration to generate heightened effect. Hyperbole is a remark or statement that is boldly overblown or exaggerated in order to add emphasis without being literally factual. Hyperbole is frequently used in rhetoric and literature for serious, comedic, or ironic effects. In love poetry, hyperbole is frequently employed to portray the lover’s overwhelming affection for his or her beloved. One example of a hyperbole is “I love you to the moon and back” this is an example because of the “moon and back” part. Yes, you could strongly love someone, but you wouldn’t go to the moon and back for them, its an exaggeration. Another example is “that dog is the most adorable thing in the world” this could be a hyperbole because the dog probably isn’t the most adorable thing in the world, its just an exaggeration talking about how cute the dog is. My last example is “I would die for those shoes” you wouldn’t actually die for a pair of shoes, that’s also an exaggeration.

The word” imagery” originated from old French imagrie, from the imager ‘make an image.’ Imagery is a literary device in which figurative language is used to elicit a sensory experience or to paint a picture with words for the reader. Writer’s appeal to a reader’s senses of sight, taste, smell, touch, and sound, as well as internal emotion and feelings, by the use of descriptive language and figures of speech. A poem’s elements use many of the five senses to conjure up a series of mental images. Using colorful or figurative language to portray concepts, things, or activities in particular. As a result, imaging encompasses not only visual or cognitive images but also physical feelings and interior emotions. One example of imagery in poetry is “Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.” This would be an example of imagery because it paints a picture of nature in one’s mind. “After the long run, he collapsed in the grass with tired and burning muscles. The grass tickled his skin and sweat cooled on his brow” is another example of imagery. In this case, imagery is employed to depict how tight muscles feel, how grass tickles, and how sweat cools the skin. “The warm, salty broth soothed her sore throat as she ate the soup” this example, it gives us insight into her throat and how she feels. The writer uses a sense of touch and taste to conjure a sense of imagery. My last example is “the roaring thunder frightened the little boy.” In this example, the writer appeals to our understanding of sound to picture what’s happening in that line.
