Figurative Language

Without figurative language there are no pictures painted in the mind of creativity. Figurative language helps me express, and open myself up to others. For example the cup hit the floor and broke. That is too boring to read, how about, the fragile glass cup slipped and collided towards Earth and shattered into pieces. The difference is the strength of imagery. Metaphors and similes are another that are very common and effective to painting pictures in one's head. Mostly all musical artist use metaphors or similes because its so strong  that it impacts the way people think. I am the type of person who enjoys poetry, and in poetry these types of figurative language are necessary to make your reader think deep into their thoughts. Whether that's involving emotions, or describing a time in your life. Figurative language is a tool that everyone should use, because it helps paint pictures by using simple words.
