Which type of figurative language is used in the following line from john f. kennedy's inaugural address to the nation?

"this hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house."

each morning i wrote my name

on the dusty cabinet, then crossed

the dining table in script, scrawled

in capitals on the backs of chairs,

practicing signatures like scales

while mother followed squirting

linseed from a burping can

what are the options?
