Sunrise

As the Morning sun stream across the water

Orange red fire burns through the morning haze

We wake early enough to see the fish making their daily journey

Becoming one with the ocean, the fish play with the oars

The gentle breeze against our faces gives me Goosebumps.

As The early morning breeze skates the water’s edge

We quietly row along the sun

Becoming one with the ocean

What is it that draws the eyes to the boat?

Rowers’ row and passengers go there really is no mystery

To where to where does the rower row

For what purpose does he venture?

Sea and sky are the sun’s canvas

Quiet ripples roll off the hull

The distant shores of home awaits

We are free.

Analysis of Poem

Figurative Speech

Figurative language means to use a figure of speech, or a way to say one thing while meaning another.  This type of language is usually something that should not be taken serious, more of a playful way of making points.  Figurative language is using metaphors, similes, metonymy, synecdoche, and other words that can describe something without actually using the literal meanings.  Figurative language is simply a way to describe something by comparing it to something else.  Figurative language creates a picture in our heads, which evokes emotion.  Using descriptive words to describe the sun and the water help us to create a vision of what Monet was trying to say with the painting.
