HYPERBOLE
-A hyperbole is a type of figurative language. It is often confused with a simile or a metaphor because it often compares two objects. The difference is a hyperbole is an exaggeration. For example:
His feet were as big as a barge. It looks like a simile. It is comparing foot size to the size of a barge. Everyone knows that a barge is approximately 700 feet long. Imagine getting a pair of shoes that big!
Hyperbolic 12 sentences
A head or tail - which does he lack?
I think his forward's coming back!
His feet are as big as a barge
I nearly died laughing,
I tried a thousand times
I could sleep for a year
Hiis box weighed a ton
I've told you a million times not to exaggerate
I'd rather take baths with a man-eating shark
I've told you a million times you exaggerate!
I will skin you alive
Your mother is so small she does chin-ups on the curb.

Published poem:
Homework! Oh, Homework!
I hate you! You stink!
I wish I could wash you away in the sink,
if only a bomb
would explode you to bits.
Homework! Oh, homework!
You're giving me fits.
I'd rather take baths
with a man-eating shark,
or wrestle a lion
alone in the dark,
eat spinach and liver,
pet ten porcupines,
than tackle the homework,
my teacher assigns.
Homework! Oh, homework!
you're last on my list,
I simple can't see
why you even exist,
if you just disappeared
it would tickle me pink.
Homework! Oh, homework!
I hate you! You stink!

Poem With Hyperbole

Hyperbole is figure of speech that uses overstatement for emphasis, surprise, or humor.
12 sentence poem,,,Author: William Blake
A Robin Red breast in a Cage,
Puts all Heaven in a Rage.
A dove house fill'd with doves & Pigeons
shudders Hell thro' all its regions.
A dog starv'd at his Master's Gate,
Predicts the ruin of the State.
A Horse misus'd upon the Road,
Calls to Heaven for human Blood.
Each outcry of the hunted Hare,
A fibre from the Brain does tear.
A Skylark woulnded in the wing,
A Cherubim does cease to sing.

“I nearly died laughing!” “I am so hungry I could eat a horse.” "I tried a thousand times." “We are mile-high ice-cream cones.” “He's as big as a house.” “He's got tons of money.” “I will die if she asks me to dance.” “I told you a million times not to lie!” “I could sleep for a year!”

It's something that's extremely exaggerated.
example:
I was so hungry, I could eat a horse.
I'm not freaking doing YOUR homework for you though.
