Abstract
Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovskiy's Russian poetry is analyzed for metaphors and similes based on the similarities in external appearance and function between human body parts or attributes and objects, nature, or events. Mayakovskiy's use of anthropomorphism and personification as productive rhetorical and stylistic devices of poetic imagery is noted.
