As of some one gently rapping-rapping at my chamber door-

Example: Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter
End Rhyme: Rhyming words at the ends of lines.
Example: Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are now what they seem. By Longfellow

Example: He shrieked and cried, No! Oh, no!
The wind blew stronger still and breathed,
No! Oh, no!
Simile: a figure of speech that makes a direct comparison between two subjects, using either like or as.

Metaphor: a figure of speech in which one thing is spoken of as though it were something else.

Example: The creek ran down the hill. The leaves fought with one another in the wind. A smiling moon.
