Abstract

Style is a crucial aspect of literary works, playing a key role in conveying beauty and emotion. Joko Pinurbo's poems offer a unique use of simple yet meaningful figurative language with which to comment on everyday life. This study aims to analyse the linguistic features in two of his poems: “Prayer of a Busy Person Who Works 24 Hours a Day on Their Mobile Phone” and “To Money”. This study is based on the idea that language style is a major aspect that reflects the values of beauty and emotion in literary works. This analysis aims to identify and interpret the language style used in these poems. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method with a stylistic approach, enabling the researcher to identify the dominant linguistic features by analysing the text. Data were collected by reading, noting, classifying and interpreting the content of the poems. The analysis revealed that the poems contain various figures of speech, including personification, metaphor, symbolism, irony, simile, hyperbole and apostrophe. The first poem uses the metaphor of communication to describe the vertical relationship between humans and God, while the second poem uses symbolism to describe the relationship between humans and money in everyday life. This study concludes that Joko Pinurbo's unique and profound use of figurative language makes his work relevant to literary learning, art appreciation, and social reflection. It is expected that this study will increase appreciation of Indonesian poetry and enrich knowledge of literary studies in an academic context.
