I need some poetry techniques from this song for a school english project. For example: metaphor, irony, ect. anything like that. I NEED HELP ASAP!!!!!!!!!!! pleaaaase!!
Heres the song:

Squeaky swings and tall grass
The longest shadows ever cast
The water's warm and children swim
And we frolicked about in our summer skin

I don't recall a single care
Just greenery and humid air
Then Labor day came and went
And we shed what was left of our summer skin

On the night you left I came over
And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders
Our brand new coats so flushed and pink
And I knew your heart I couldn't win
Cause the season's change was a conduit
And we'd left our love in our summer skin
