PLEASE HELP ME

Look at the pic first pls

The Black Land

I WILL plough the land, Turning up the black soil. I will ride upon this heaving surface As a boat rides upon the water. Even as a boat Cleaving the water with an eager keel, I have run a furrow Straight across the ridges. I will sow down this field, Scattering gems. With both hands will I scatter Quivering emeralds out of a bottomless pouch. As I tread the loam My feet sink deep. The black earth embraces my ankles And clings to my bent knees. I sing as I go Scattering emeralds. The wind sings upon my lips, And pearls stream off my neck and forehead. I am bathed in a sweat of pearls. Eyes straight forward Rest on a brightening ultimate slope.​

Answer: As I tread the loam My feet sink deep. This is a sensory quote because it talks about his feet sinking deep, which has to do with feel and seeing etc. He uses figurative language in the quote The black earth embraces my ankles And clings to my bent knees. We know that this is figurative language because the earth can't literally cling to your knees. Sensory language should help you more. I say this because sensory language offers your brain a more in depth image of what is happening, allowing you to truly envision it in your mind, while figurative language will give your mind a more brief description. I hope this helps you out!
