Sylvia Plath's poem "Metaphors" is a lyric poem that she uses to create a riddle, as explained in the first line. This poem describes well the condition of the pregnant woman whose picture is carefully made with a clear metaphor. Nine syllables, nine rows, nine heading letters "metaphor" indicate brewing for 9 months. She compassionately compared herself with a mystery and was not sure about the newborn baby, "elephant", a heavy house, and two watermelons with thin beards. She laughed at her pregnancy. Her obvious indifference to her pregnancy is evident on line 7 and she compared it with "means, steps, calves". All these metaphor shows her concern about pregnancy. Contrary to ordinary women, she is not satisfied with the next baby. She is a "means", a new life is born, it is just a way to continue the generation.

One thing about this poem is that it depicts several literary methods like rhyme, metaphor, metaphor, tone and image. When writing this poem, Whitman used a lot of images as a sign of life and death. This clearly shows death and life. Metaphor and anthropomorphization are also used in this poem. These are related to the precise occurrence of life. There is also a consistent image that is used to express love in life and its meaning. For example, "I celebrate myself and sing myself, I am thinking that you should draw a line because all the atoms belonging to me belong to you." These correspond to the main questions raised in poetry. West Mills at the Life Event has also been expanded with this poem. There are many rhymes in this poem. The tone of realism and humanity is also admired in this poem. This represents the cry of the narrator and the pain. Whitman also used rhymes in his poems.

You can also change the tone and meaning of poetry by identifying the tone of poetry from words and understanding its meaning by changing words. Please read "The Pippa's Song" by Robert Browning. This poem has a strong tune through words like morning and spring, especially in the last sentence "God is in his heaven, / all rights and the world!" But if you change some of this verse Words, you will reverse the tone and meaning of this poem. For example, when changing from "spring" to "winter" or "in the evening" in the morning, a dark, dark tone may be generated.
