ADVERTS FOR SALE!

This performance poem gives examples of the figurative language used in adverts, in particular similes, metaphors, alliteration and hyperbole.

Adverts for sale, adverts for sale,
Come and get your adverts.
All in one alliteration,
Adjectives and adverbs.

The biggest and the very best
Hyperbole machine:
Exaggerates like nothing else
That you have ever seen…….

Be the envy of your street!
Have women swooning at your feet!
The only thing you’ll want to eat!

BUY THIS OR YOU’LL REGRET IT!

Tantalising tongue-twisters
To tangle up your tongue;
Phrases that make everything sound
Flattering or fun……..

 Lipstick for lovely luscious lips.
Corsets to cover curvaceous hips.
Taste the world’s finest fish and chips!

BUY THIS OR YOU’LL REGRET IT!

Similes and metaphors;
Claims that are extreme;
Each product will be all it takes
To satisfy your dream……

Perfectly fits you, like a glove.
Will predict your one true love.
Sent on the wings of a pure white dove.

BUY THIS OR YOU’LL REGRET IT!

Adverts for sale, adverts for sale,
Come and get your adverts.
All in one alliteration,
Adjectives and adverbs.
