This tiny insect poem is a lovely, simple example of metaphor poetry. It’s four lines include small amounts of alliteration, imagery, hyperbole and personification to describe the picture of the millipede’s body and feet moving? Good poetry should help you to see the picture in your mind.
Moving her body with rippling progression,
Inviting each foot to join in the procession,
Creating a Mexican Wave with her feet
Is Milly the many-footed millipede.
