Messy Room by Shel Silverstein
Whosever room this is should be ashamed!
His underwear is hanging on the lamp.
His raincoat is there in the overstuffed chair,
And the chair is becoming quite mucky and damp.
His workbook is wedged in the window,
His sweater's been thrown on the floor.
His scarf and one ski are beneath the TV,
And his pants have been carelessly hung on the door.
His books are all jammed in the closet,
His vest has been left in the hall.
A lizard named Ed is asleep in his bed,
And his smelly old sock has been stuck to the wall.
Whosever room this is should be ashamed!
Donald or Robert or Willie or--
Huh? You say it's mine? Oh, dear,
I knew it looked familiar!
Hyperbole-Oh, dear,
Metaphor-chair is becoming quite mucky and damp
smelly old sock had been stuck to the wall
The poet used these figurative language to emphasize how messy the room is and the things in his room.
I like this peom because the poet is able to make a room sound messy and is capable of making me imagine how messy the room really is. It also partly depicts a side of me because I also have a messy room sometimes.
