Answer:

• Onomatopoeia (rattle)
• Rhyme(consistent rhyme scheme)
• Metaphor("but these certainly rattle your mind")
• Hyperbole ("people of today are currently family blind")
• Iambic Pantemeter (due to the whole poem being written with the same rhythm)

Difference between Metaphor and Idiom

A metaphor is merely a comparison between one object and another. While an idiom is a statement or phrase that is used to describe a certain scenario, a metaphor is an indirect comparison that serves the same purpose but is used to explain something different. A simile, on the other hand, is a direct comparison.
