Figurative language was a part of the literary work which created from philosophical
thought or the effect of poets’ feeling which played some words and used as an
interesting and creative comprehension. This study discussed about the use of
figurative languages in the poems by John Ashbery based on the theory of Bain,
Baety, and Hunter (1973) and describing the contextual meaning of the figurative
language. The design of this study was descriptive qualitative research in nature. The
results of the study showed that some types of figurative language used in the poems
by John Ashbery such as metonymy, metaphor, hyperbole, alliteration, etc. The
writer collected the data through three poems by John Ashbery which were gathered
from the poetry books by John Ashbery; A Wave Poem (1984), The Tennis Court
Oath (2011), and Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror (2007). The use of figurative
