Question

A poem is merely a flowering twig of thought.

simile
metaphor
hyperbole
personification

Answer 1

metaphor

Step-by-step explanation:

its not personification, becausee it does not add human-like traits to anything. its not a hyperbole because it does not use any form of exaggeration. and its not a simile because it doesnt use like or as while comparing to unrelated things. therefore it must be a metaphor.

(sorry about my spelling)

Answer 2

This is a metaphor because it says one thing is something else.
