what are the poetic devices used in the poem my mother at sixty six

The poetess has used the following poetic devices: 

Simile – a) her face ashen like that of a corpse 

b) as a late winter’s moon

Personification - trees sprinting

Metaphor – merry children spilling out of their homes

Repetition- all I did was smile and smile and smile
