Keywords : Figurative Language, Contemporary Poetry, Ada Limón Poetry is a form of literary work that contains beautiful and meaningful words. Historically, poetry is divided into two types, traditional poetry and contemporary poetry. Contemporary poetry refers to poetry written from 1920s to the present. Generally, there are several elements used in poetry, such as lines, stanzas, rhyme, rhythm, diction, meaning, message, and figurative language. In the contemporary poetry, the elements used tend to be more free and unbound. In this poem, the writer chose an American contemporary poet, namely Ada Limón. The writer took 15 poems to be analyzed entitled: On a Pink Moon, The Saving Tree, The Carrying, State Bird, How to Triumph Like a Girl, Down Here, The Conditional, Oranges & the Ocean, A Name, How We Are Made, Prey, Wife, Almost Forty, Instructions on Not Giving up and Before. These poems were sourced from the e-books, The Carrying and Bright Dead Things. The writer focused on finding out two research problems: 1) What types of figurative language does Ada Limón use in her contemporary poetry? 2) What are the messages behind Ada Limón's contemporary poetry? In conducting this research, the writer used descriptive qualitative research approach. Moreover, this research also belonged to library research. In addition, the technique of analyzing data used document analysis. The results show, there were found 107 data of words, phrases, lines, verses, or stanzas containing figurative language with 15 types of figurative language. The figurative languages found include: Metaphor, Simile, Metonymy, Symbolic, Allusion, Personification, Hyperbole, Pleonasm, Oxymoron, Idiom, Synecdoche, Litotes, Alliteration, Assonance, and Anaphora. Figurative language of Simile, Metonymy, Metaphor, Personification, and Symbolic were commonly found. The reached conclusion, the tendency of Ada Limón who is interest with nature and animals makes her want to connect and compare it to human life. Meanwhile, the messages were classified into nine aspects of educational values proposed by Taylor (2006). The results show, there were seven aspects in the 15 messages of the selected poems, namely Love, Never give up, Help each other, Self-confidence, Optimism, Responsible, and Hard work. It can be concluded that the message behind 15 Ada Limón’s contemporary poetry contains educational value in the form of Never give up, Love, Help each other, Self-confidence, Optimism, Responsible, and Hard work message.
