PLEASE PLEASE HELP

Think about a time when you had to leave something behind. Maybe it was a friend, a home, or simply an object.

Write a minimum four-stanza poem (five lines per stanza, for a total of twenty lines) that expresses the "leaving" of something personal.

Be sure to use each of the following poetic devices:

one simile
one example of alliteration
one metaphor
one hyperbole
one symbol
one example of personification

I left suddenly and without any notification,

As the swallows leave in the fall, - SIMILE -

And you stayed completely alone,

My dear, lonely friend.

Now, I'm an empty boat,

Floating on the sea of ​​turbulent human life, - METAPHOR -

Without any friend,

Because I left you behind me,

My dear, lonely friend.

Sadness and sorrow are sinking my soul, - ALLITERATION -

While the sea full of memories is talking to me, - PERSONIFICATION -

How hard is to live without the smile,

Without your company and your hug,

My dear, lonely friend.

The world revolves around my head, - HYPERBOLE -

Because I lost my best friend,

A huge, black raven sits on the branch, - SYMBOL -

He told me he saw you in the heaven for lonely ones,

My dear, lonely friend.
