The correct answer is B. metaphor.<br /><br />In this poem, the author uses metaphor as a literary device to compare the man's skin to oak bark and his back to a C. Metaphors are comparisons between two unlike things without using "like" or "as." The author is using metaphor to create vivid imagery and convey deeper meanings about the man's character and appearance.
