HYPERBOLE

Hyperbole lets the poet exaggerate the truth to help draw attention to a situation. In “Fishing Frenzy,” hyperbole is in the line “Fish are everywhere we look.” Fish really aren’t everywhere, but that overstatement helps make the point that there are many fish in the lake. “By Lantern Light” also has a line of hyperbole.

IMAGERY

Imagery is a way for the poet to use touch, taste, sight, sound, or smell to help the reader imagine what’s happening. In the poem “Goodbye, Last Night,” there are examples of imagery in the lines “The forest is glimmering./Leaves and pine needles are shimmering.” “Camp Ahoy,” “Stick Together,” “How to Build a Bonfire,” “Dousing the Fire,” and “Shore Breakfast” also include strong imagery.
