Explanation:
The use of figurative language affects the meaning of the poem for the idea that the author wants to transmit.
For instance, "...stand along the railroad tracks wide-eyed...". The figurative language uses imagery for the reader can visualize the way the sunflower is widely open, facing the sun.
"...stretching their long necks..." uses a metaphor that serves to compare long stems with the way people turns its head to see something attractive but they can't see it well.
Figurative language uses figures of speech to be more accurate and persuasive. It uses resources like allusions, similes, imageries, hyperbole, onomatopoeia, and metaphors.

Here Flowers are throughly personified as they stand along the railroad tracks wide eyed just as a person waiting for something stand.
stretching their necks gazing into distance as if a person is looking out for someone.
waiting for the train just as the person awaits for his train
