There is another sky by Emily Dickinson

There is another sky,
Ever serene and fair,
And there is another sunshine,
Though it be darkness there;
Never mind faded forests, Austin,
Never mind silent fields -
Here is a little forest,
Whose leaf is ever green;
Here is a brighter garden,
Where not a frost has been;
In its unfading flowers
I hear the bright bee hum:
Prithee, my brother,
Into my garden come!

Q1.
How is 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.

-The words "come " and "my brother" are hyperbole(in other words exaggerating) figurative language. The phrase(s) " its unfading flowers" is a metaphor figurative language. The poet chose to use these languages as she wants to further describe the appearance of the forest and make as feel that we are in the poem.

The poem I have chosen describes the green forest. The choice of words a good, for example: unfading and serene. I like this poem as the words are not too bombastic but just right and able to understand it. The poem goes in a smooth manner like without stopping here and there. The part that I like is the part when she says "Into my garden come!", this makes my feel invited to enter and the word "come" is a hyperbole figurative language which means exaggerating. The part where she exaggerates more is the description of the forest, e.g. "where no frost has ever seen".
