Does this poem use smilies, metaphors, personification etc?

The guitar
makes dreams weep.
The sobbing of lost
souls
escapes through its round
mouth.
And like the tarantula
it spins a large star
to trap the sighs
floating in its black,
wooden water tank.

The guitar makes dreams weep is a metaphor, the sobbing of lost souls is a personification, like the tarantula is a simile.
