The "voz poética" refers to the poetic voice or persona assumed by the poet in a literary work. It is the speaker or narrator of the poem, who may or may not be the same as the author.
Think of the "voz poética" as a mask that poets wear when they write. Just like actors put on different masks to portray different characters, poets use the "voz poética" to express their thoughts and emotions in a unique way.
Metáfora: A figure of speech that compares two unrelated things without using "like" or "as". For example, saying "Her smile is sunshine" is a metaphor.
Hipérbole: An exaggerated statement or claim used for emphasis or dramatic effect. For instance, saying "I've told you a million times!" when you've only said it once.
Ironía: A figure of speech where words are used in such a way that their intended meaning is different from their literal meaning. It often conveys sarcasm or humor.
