Poetic devices, if there is no rhyme, can include alliteration (repetition of beginning sounds) and repetition, as well as many others.
The ant is a hard worker who knows that in order to have a comfortable and happy lifestyle, one must work to obtain it, instead of squander time with play.

Non-fiction, since it's a first person encounter of your life.
