Is there any form of figurative language in this poem?
the sun did not shine,
it was too wet to play,
so i sat in my bed
for day after day.
so i stared at the ceiling
i stared at the wall
and deep down inside me
there was nothing at all
no anger, no fury
no happy or glad
just a big fat old nothing
that was nothing but sad
i called up a doctor
to say i felt blue
he said "there's not much
that medicine can do;
i'll give you these pills that
stop you sleeping right"
so i stared at the wall
for a day and a night.
my friends said "cheer up,
you have to be tough"
in the end i decided
that i'd had enough

both the address and the poster use diction to convey their message. diction is defined as a style of writing or speaking based on the types of words chosen in order to send a message. parallelism is when a similar sentence structure is used for several sentences on a text; roosevelt's address doesn't follow that. repetition has to do with repeating a word or sentence in order to emphasize and idea, however neither the poster nor the address use repetion. finally, the address doesn't use images to convey a message.
