Answer:

And bam! the door closed shut and my love left

She broke my heart and caused me much regret

Step-by-step explanation:

Iambic pentameter is a five-time repetition of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one. It creates rhythm when reading, something like ta -TA- ta -TA - ta -TA - ta -TA - ta - TA.

When it comes to sound effects, there are many possibilities in poetry to use sounds to help convey a message or provoke emotions. One of those ways is by using onomatopoeia, which uses words to imitate sound.

In the lines I've created, the stressed syllables are in bold. The onomatopoeia is the sound represented by word "bam" -- the door being shut.

And bam! the door closed shut and my love left

She broke my heart and caused me much regret
