Final answer:

Similes and metaphors in poetry enhance imagery and evoke specific associations, enriching the reader's understanding.


Explanation:

Simile and metaphor are two types of figurative language used in poetry. Similes directly compare two things using 'like' or 'as,' while metaphors equate two unlike things by replacing the comparison word with 'to be.'

Example: 'As if it were a loaf of bread' is a simile, likening something to bread. 'Like a miner, into sleep' is a simile comparing the act of sleeping to how a miner sleeps.

In the given lines, the similes convey imagery and evoke specific associations, enriching the reader's understanding of the poem.
