Mother to Son figurative language What other figurative language is in this poem besides metaphor?Well, son, I'll tell you;Life for me ain't been no crystal stair,It's had tacks on it.And splinters,And boards tor up,And places with no carpet on the floorBare.But all the timeI'se been a' climbin'on,And reachin' landin's,And turnin'- comers.And sometimes goin*in the darkWhere there ain't been no light.So, boy, don't you tum backDon't you set down on the steps*Cause you finds it's kinder hardDon't you fall nowFor I'se still goin' honey,I'se still climbin'And life for me ain't been no crystal stair
