1 My brother bugs me all the time about my Diary.

2 He wants to know what sisters write in total secrecy.

3 I tell him that my Diary is boring as a textbook,

What poetic device is being used when the poet says that she told her brother, "my Diary is boring as a textbook"?

the answer is simile

Answer 2

The writer is comparing the diary to a textbook, so the answer would be Metaphor.
