Best Answer

Hyperbole are particularly common in love poems to convey intense feelings of passion between lovers.

One example would be found in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice.

Why, if two gods should play some heavenly match. And on the wager lay two earthly women, And Portia one, there must be something else. Pawned with the other, for the poor rudeworldHath not her fellow.

One famous example of hyperbole in poetry is from Emily Dickinson's poem "I heard a Fly buzz - when I died" where she describes the room as "zero at the bone." Another example is in Langston Hughes' poem "Harlem" where he asks, "What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?" Hyperbole is used to exaggerate and create vivid imagery in these poetic works.
