Recognizing Figurative Language Figurative language is language that means
more than what it says on the surface. It usually gives us a feeling about its subject. Poets use figurative language almost as
frequently as literal language. When you read poetry, you must be conscious of the difference. Otherwise, a poem may make no sense at all.
