What are the poetic devices/figures of speech used in the poem The Comet and the Moon?

1 Answer

    • Personification- In literature or poetry, when an object or concept is portrayed as a person.
    1. “Tell me” said the comet
    2. “You will sulk as well,” the moon said
    3. “So, comet, stay and talk.”

     

    (The entire poem deploys personification because inanimate objects/planets are given the living quality of communicating.)
