Identify the figurative language used by Amy Lowell in "Prime."


In complete sentences, explain how it is used to convey meaning in the poem. (20 points)


Your voice is like bells over roofs at dawn

When a bird flies

And the sky changes to a fresher color.

Speak, speak, Beloved.

Say little things

For my ears to catch

And run with them to my heart.

The figurative language used by Amy Lowell in "Prime" is simile.

Explanation: Simile is figurative language used to compare one thing to another, and it can be identified with the use of the word "like" (ex: They fought like cats and dogs). In this excerpt, the narrator compares the subject's voice to bells, which means the voice must be poweful and beautiful.
