Answer 2

A simile to suggest that the poem is valuable.

Step-by-step explanation:

A simile is a figurative language that uses comparisons to describe an event, someone, a thing, an animal, a place.. while using the words "as" and "like". The purpose of similes is to make the writing more colorful, interesting, significant and memorable. The excerpt uses this type of figurative language with that same purpose when it compares the way "the corner of your drawer" was tucked away: "like a cabin or hogan in dense trees."
