Black snake! Black snake!
Curling on the ground,
rolled like a rubber tire,
Ribbed and round.

Looped in a tree,
Limp as a licorice whip
Flung free.
Black snake! Black snake!
Curving down the lawn,
Glides like a wave
With its silver gone.
Black snake! Black snake!
Come and live with me!
I'll feed you and I'll pet you
And then I'll set you free! Question: In "The Black Snake," what literary device do the lines "Rolled like a rubber tire, / Ribbed and round" contain?
