A hyperbole poem is naturally a hyperbolic, rhyming discourse into a subject. The idea of hyperbolic poems is to take advantage of the meter and rhythm of poetry, which is actually a lyrical literary form when using the types of expression involved in hyperbolic poetry. Doggerel is really the best known form of hyperbole, using a series of overstated images to make a rhyming point. As song lyrics, hyperbole retains its poetic form, but becomes more flexible and emphatic. |
