Re: DISCUSSION: The Use of Hyperbole in Poetry

by Solace.Bring

Here is my try at a poem that includes hyperbole.

Storm at Sea

The waves, so high they touched the sky
as they sailed through the night.
The wind, so strong it bent their will.
Fear gripped throats, strangle-tight.

The noble ship rolled on the sea
and bucked like snorting bull
until the tempest had its fit
and left all mettle null.
