Abstract
Figurative language is defined as a way of expressing something different from ordinary language in a more meaningful and deeper way. It implies an understanding of the relationship between meaning and sentences, as well as which sentences contain meaning and which do not. This research provides information about hyperbole, one type of figurative language in poetry taken from the Poetry.org website. The purpose of this study is to find what themes are found in children's poetry on the Poets.org site, how many hyperboles are found in children's poetry on the site and classify the types of meaning that appear. The data in this study were taken from hyperbole sentences contained in 64 poems. The method used is a descriptive qualitative research method. To conduct this research, Abram's figurative language theory is used. There are 64 children's poems on this website used as data. The results showed that there were 4 major themes found in the 64 poems, namely the themes of nature (12 poems), environment (10 poems), social life (25 poems), and politics (17 poems). In addition, 91 hyperbole majas were also found.
