Answer:
Personification and Simile were used in this poem.
Explanation:
In the above stated poem, the poet greatly used personification and simile. Personification is the assignment of human characters to abstract objects or things. Examples of the poet's use of personification include;
- the throat of the furnace wheezed and rattled its regular death,
- your roof curving its singing mouth above me.
- the reddening blades of grass
Simile is the comparison of two objects using like or as. The poet used this figurative language. Examples include;
- The house I left as a child now seems a shell of sobs.
- I’ve been a fragment, less than my name, shaking in a solitary landscape, like the last burnt leaf on an oak.
