Can anyone help me find ALL the figurative language in this poem it’s for a project

You turn the kitchen
tap's metallic stream
into tropical drink,
extra sugar whirlpooling
5 to the pitcher-bottom
like gypsum sand.
Purplesaurus Rex, Roarin'
Rock-A-Dile Red, Ice Blue
Island Twist, Sharkleberry Fin;
10 on our tongues, each version
keeps a section, like tiles
on the elemental table.
In ninth grade, Sandra
employed a jug of Black Cherry

374
15 to dye her straightened
bangs burgundy.
When toddlers swallow you,
their top lips mustache in color
as if they've kissed paint.
20 The trendy folks can savor
all that imported mango nectar
and health-market juice.
We need factory-crafted packets,
unpronounceable ingredients,
25 a logo cute enough to hug,
a drink unnaturally sweet
so that, on the porch,
as summer sun recedes,
Granddad takes out his teeth
30 to make more mouth to admit you.

Answer:

You turn the kitchen

tap's metallic stream

into tropical drink,

extra sugar whirlpooling

5. to the pitcher-bottom

like gypsum sand.

Purplesaurus Rex, Roarin'

Rock-A-Dile Red, Ice Blue

Island Twist, Sharkleberry Fin;

10 on our tongues, each version

keeps a section, like tiles

on the elemental table.

In ninth grade, Sandra

employed a jug of Black Cherry

15 to dye her straightened

bangs burgundy.

When toddlers swallow you,

their top lips mustache in color

as if they've kissed paint.

20 The trendy folks can savor

all that imported mango nectar

and health-market juice.

We need factory-crafted packets,

unpronounceable ingredients,

25 a logo cute enough to hug,

a drink unnaturally sweet

so that, on the porch,

as summer sun recedes,

Granddad takes out his teeth

to make more mouth to admit you

Step-by-step explanation:

5. Is an example of metaphor since its comparing the

kitchen tap's metallic stream into a gypsum sand. Purplesaurus Rex, Roarin' which is a statement that doesn't literally make sense.

10 Personification since gives human characteristics to inanimate objects, animals, or ideas. This can really affect the way the reader imagines things.

15. simile since its comparing two things using the words "like" or "as."

20 is Symbolism which occurs when a word has its own meaning but is used to represent something entirely different.

25 is Hyperbole is an outrageous exaggeration that emphasizes a point. It tends toward the ridiculous or the funny. Hyperbole adds color and depth to a character.
