IT Emergency Lesson 1: Figurative Language: My poem

This is the poem I choose. It is called 'Messy Room'.
Whosever room this is should be ashamed!
His underwear is hanging on the lamp.
His raincoat is there in the overstuffed chair,
And the chair is becoming quite mucky and damp.
His workbook is wedged in the window,
His sweater's been thrown on the floor.
His scarf and one ski are beneath the TV,
And his pants have been carelessly hung on the door.
His books are all jammed in the closet,
His vest has been left in the hall.
A lizard named Ed is asleep in his bed,
And his smelly old sock has been stuck to the wall.
Whosever room this is should be ashamed!
Donald or Robert or Willie or--
Huh? You say it's mine? Oh, dear,
I knew it looked familiar!

1. How are the figurative language used in the poem? Give the specific word(s), explain what type of figurative language it is and why the poet chose to use this figurative language?
I think Hyperbole is most commonly used in this poem. This poem is quite exaggerated as they used some 'bombastic' words such as jammed. The words that shows Hyperbole is jammed, oh dear, smelly old sock, huh. I think the poet chose to use hyperbole is because he/she is describing a room that is very messy, and he must sound irritated or angry.

2. Tell us why you like this poem in no less than 100 words.
I like this poem because it is funny, where it shows that the underwear is hung over a lamp, that is so unusual unless the underwear is being flung from somewhere and it got stuck on top of the lamp. The poem is also very descriptive, it tells us what the room looks like very clearly, and thus we are able to picture it in our minds, and thus we are able to see how messy the person whom the poet is describing is. And the ending of the poem is very drastic, the poet led us to think that the room belongs to someone else's. But in the end they said "huh, you say its mine" and the quote oh dear, i thought it looked familiar showed that the room belonged to the poet himself/herself.
