Question

Find out the figurative language from the poem

In the kitchen
After the aimless
Chatter of plates,
The murmuring of the gas,
The chuckles of the water pipes
And the sharp exchanges
Of the knives,forks and spoons,
Comes the serious quiet
When the sink slowly clears its throat,
And you can hear the occasional rumble
Of the refrigerator's tummy
As it digest the cold.

Answer 1

Answer: This is personification

Explanation: Human-like qualities are given to the kitchen appliances and silverware.

-The sink “clears its throat”
-The gas “murmurs”
-The water pipes “chuckle”

They don’t literally do these things, but they are associated with humans through these qualities in order to give imagery.
