Quiz Friday!!!

Identify the figurative language in the following 6 examples (These will also be on Friday's Quiz):

The little dog laughed                          
To see such sport,                                       
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

The heat ripped breath from her luminous lungs.


When the team on the set with the guns gone clap,  
Gettin’ down on everything, hmmm, cut the check.

"Ah, William, we're weary of weather,"        
 said the sunflowers, shining with dew.

The child of mine was lying on her side.

See we been doing this since you was in a wet diaper
Confusing as a Rubik’s Cube is to be deciphered
Intuitive just like Confucious in your next life or
A new addition of a ludricriuosly vexed sniper
