Find three different kinds of figurative language in this poem.

Balloons by Deborah Chandra

Such swollen creatures
Holding their breath
While they swim
Dreamily from room to room.

Swaying slightly,
They wander the air-wisps,
Bumping and rubbing along the walls
Until they feel their fat backs
Bob against the ceiling.

Wanting nothing,
They drift and sleep-
Bald as babies,
Smooth moons of blue and red,
Nodding drowsily, spellbound heads.

How many did you see? Did you find any not given? Ask me before the test(:
