Answer:

C. Metaphors.

Explanation:

<em>'Litany' by Billy Collins is a love poem containing a series of ordinary and extra-ordinary metaphors.</em> The metaphorical comparisons employed by the poet makes it a light- hearted poem with a profound directive to humanity. <em>The poet begins with the metaphors like 'bread and knife', 'goblet and wine', ''dew on morning grass', 'burning wheel of sun', 'white apron of the baker', 'marsh birds' and many more to describe and compare his beloved while he concludes it by himself comparing to the "moon in the trees' and 'blind woman's tea cup'.</em> The entire poem is a chain of metaphorical analogies and symbolizes his praise and admiration for his beloved.
